No drivers, no problems, just
No drivers, no problems, just wanted to share this Call the Midwife style jigsaw puzzle illustration. I like how it’s always a bucolic setting and a fine day in c1962.
This one hurt my brain, so I’ve flipped it but the lady’s hand is still the same size as the radius of her wheels – what long forgotten model of roadster are we are we looking at here?

Farage’s Teflon handling of
Farage’s Teflon handling of this has been deft: preside over a party full of people with some pretty odd views and then act all suprised when one of the leading lights stirs things up on the racism front.
Guardian: “Sarah Pochin, the new Reform MP for Runcorn and Helsby, had pressed Keir Starmer on the issue in parliament on Wednesday, and Farage had also said on GB News that it was time for a debate about the burqa.”

Edit- two days later and it’s sounds like he’s been convinced that the face-eating leopards are no longer a threat, and he’s coming back to the Reform fold.

“Taking away any visual support for minorities who have to face physical and verbal violence because they exist, whilst not filling that void with another type of commitment, leaves those within these communities to wonder whether they still have the support of those in charge.
“Finally, I say this directly to the executive – you knew what to expect when this decision was made. You knew the reaction it would get.”
Road addict, if you’re still reading, I’m more than happy to explain the parallel with cycling.

And just like that, just hours after my post on the Kent CC “DOGE” visit, Zia Yusuf, formerly Chair of the Leopards Rip Your Face Off Party plc has resigned.
And it sounds like Trump and the original DOGE guy are starting to trade blows.
Laughing emojis are nearly as pricey as a Campagnolo pizza cutter so I better go real easy them.

The article let me read it once before going behind the paywall. So the opening gambit is the losses and special payments list, i.e. cases that are known about and the available actions against anyone who has committed fraud and the recovery of the losses will be have been taken. Working while sick, letting payments from your old employer continue to flow in – pretty standard stuff, I’m afraid.
The recruitment thing looks a bit on the pricey side in relation to payroll – they’ll need every ounce of whatever it delivers to get anyone in a lot of roles to work for Reform controlled KCC.
Gonna say it again, guys, you’ve got to decide whether a contract like this, with its £350m (4 years) price tag, is better than employing all those council staff to do it with their gold-plated pensions, union dues, rainbow lanyards, work from home, etc

A visit to Sherborne with its pedestrianised High Street (Cheap Street). “You’re killing our trade, how will we get our deliveries??”
At 4 pm sharp, someone pops out and drops the barriers at the top end and before you know it’s back in your boxes, pedestrians and all the “it’s only for a minute” parking (prohibited ’til 6 pm) gets started – the Google car’s last visit gives a flavour.
