Lincolnshire Reform leader
Lincolnshire Reform leader dismisses idea of climate emergency
He has strongly criticised the government’s target of achieving net zero by 2050
“But the influence of man on the climate is so minimal, and the rush to net zero is costing us so much money — it will make absolutely no difference.”
Oh, I see what you’ve done there – you’ve mixed-up man’s influence on the overall composition of the Earth’s atmosphere with the much simpler idea of the increased man-made greenhouse gases that drive global warming and climate breakdown. Easily done when you’ve taken no time at all to open your mind to the science.
But my I think my favourite bit in a ‘when someone tells you who they are, believe them the first time’ kind of way is this:
“More broadly, on Twitter and X posts, this is Reform UK — we are human beings, we are normal people, we are not career politicians. We’ve made mistakes in the past, we’ve said stupid things, I’ve apologised for the tweets in the past. That is what you get with Reform UK — true, straightforward, straight-talking people.”
“Judge me on what’s going to come, not some tweet from three or four years ago.”
Before, before. You’re living in the past, Marge, quit livin’ in the past.
Lincolnshire mayor Andrea Jenkyns says it’s time for ‘grown-up politics’ as the real work starts now
The former Conservative MP swept to victory in the Mayoral race
A fractionally better account of herself here, with the Lincolnshire flag in view, interestingly. There seems to be a dispute about whether she was eligible to be on the Electoral Register.

Finally, clearly Labour nationally are up against some well positioned, sophisticated opposition and in this local case the usual loud opposition – but if this is going to be the pattern, it doesn’t make supporting them any easier.

(5% of) Drivers would pay private parking charges even if they’d done nothing wrong
(TIFIFY)
The Parking (Code of Practice) Act 2019, was enacted in March 2019 yet no aspects of the Bill (you do mean Act, right?) have been implemented since Royal Assent.
[…]
However, following a legal challenge from the private parking industry, the incoming rules were withdrawn in June 2022 with no government action since. In the meantime, the private parking sector have implemented their own code of practice, which The AA does not endorse.

What I am confused about is whether it’s a nanny state who should leave law-abiding drivers alone, or that the state should get itself involved in private matters such as this.
It also seems a bit of stretch to accuse the govt of inaction on this operator Code of Practice they are hankering after.

If you’re ever snowed in, there’s another lockdown or you’re hating your job, look up the proceedings of the Verderers’ Court. What to expect: “6 pony deaths and 3 injuries on the roads this month, oh well never mind” followed by “oh my god there was a cyclist, the other day and I’m sure he was cycling off trail and something should be done it’s the destruction of nature”

Ipswich resident annoyed car park sign at Broomhill Library
He believes that there is not enough residential parking space in the area, hence many residents understood that they could use this car park, especially in case they had guests over.
Mr Vincent said he did not like that the new sign was added without consultation with residents.

Colchester Council respond to litter wardens in car parks
Colchester resident Sebastian Thornton, 56, said he is against littering, but is also against litter wardens targeting privately owned car parks. Mr Thornton said his main issue was the fact the two locations had no signage to warn against littering unlike other council car parks, making the situation “unfair”.
Mr Thornton has taken photos and videos of litter wardens outside McDonalds in both Cowdray Avenue and at Stadium Junction issuing fines for people littering what he said was “a very small amount”.He said: “I think that is a bit humiliating to be forced to pick it up – what is strange is McDonalds [have told me] they do not agree with it and are not affiliated.
