When you see videos like this it makes it all the clearer how Hall’s desire to force cyclists to mix with bus traffic and Cox’s desire to make sure cycleways are too narrow for disabled cyclists (or any significant volume of standard cyclists) to use are just so stupid

It’s antithetical to the whole idea of the pub. That approach to hospitality, curating environments by selecting the clientele is what ‘bars’ and private members’ clubs are for

Saying that Nigel Farage should be treated with respect isn’t a “dangerous view”. I would be cautious of a Mayor who agreed that he shouldn’t be treated with respect.

Sure, but she’s 34. At what age does a ‘young woman’ become a woman without a qualifier? I’d argue 21 but I can see the case for 25 or even 30. It can’t be higher than that, though, surely?

@DuncanStott Local elections for me are often a series of changes to my voting intention prompted by each bit of literature received making me much less likely to vote the way party delivering it had intended to encourage...
@rorymeakin There aren't any. The Tories need some time in the wilderness to rediscover their purpose
The general election looks like it’s going to be very similar to the London mayoral election: the incumbent doesn’t deserve to retain power but nor does the main opposition party deserve to win

Nice to see the government now accepting that there's no specific link between NICs payments and public services funding There is barely any connection at all between the amount of NICs paid & the amount of benefits received. & NICs are not hypothecated in any meaninful way...
