Gridlock across Canterbury as
Gridlock across Canterbury as multiple roadworks to take place across city
“Buses are queued up because they couldn’t get into the station – the roundabout by the police station was jammed up and the turning by the bridge was blocked up by traffic.”
…journeys of less than one mile are now taking drivers 30 minutes to complete.
Since the 3x Spider-Man meme is a given here, I thought the best illustration to post was this 8.15 am grab from Google Maps.
Great timesaver you’ve got there, guys.

This must be one of the many “I insist on using cash in the parking meter” articles, usually based on the person being old and infirm and unable to use an app / smartphone, but is somehow perfectly safe to drive?

Couple outraged as personal number plate is deemed ‘offensive’ by DVLA
The married couple have had the registration plate for almost three decades
Jackie explained: “We still have the receipt, no mention is made of inflation. We are incensed that we are to lose our treasured car registration and it is seriously affecting our mental health.”
…the Agency adopts a clear policy of withdrawing potentially offensive registration numbers, either from normal issue or from its sales scheme. Such marks are withdrawn if they are likely to cause offence or embarrassment to the general population in this country on the grounds of political, racial, and religious sensitivities, or simply because they are in poor taste.

I think the Spider-Man meme is relevant to a great many of the news stories we have on this column. Head over to favourite funny for more cartoons.

Another parallel here, like you worked with someone two years ago whose interesting luch you asked about and now every vegan everywhere constantly goes on about it.

A couple of call-outs from
A couple of call-outs from the Guardian piece:
In a statement seen by the Guardian, they said they could not continue “in good conscience” under the leadership of Farage, adding: “We believe that the current party management is either incompetent or malevolent, and we have lost all confidence in the leadership and its structures.”
Farage on Thursday claimed the resignations were from an “out-of-control branch” and involved a number of councillors who had failed Reform UK vetting.
You couldn’t make it up, that and Musk’s new position on Farage. That’s the great thing about this lot, they don’t form or maintain any sort of relationship, or stand for any particular cause, so things are turned on their head (and back again) in the space of a day.
I’m clinging to the belief that Reform are getting all this TV air time to show up what grifters they are.
I’ve seen more of the view that Trump will spend a lot of time out to grass on the golf course and that this term will essentially be the Vance show. Let’s not fall for the same rather wishful thinking as with Putin through 2022 – he’s ill, he’ll be deposed.
Just a few days to go now to the inauguration, and I don’t think we’re much wiser as to the directions this wild ride is going to take.
The US has been a cornerstone of the post-1945 world order, and I just don’t think anyone is prepared for that to break apart – that’s even if you believe that Greenland, Mexico, Panama and Canada are dead cats and are all hot air.
The United States was founded with some high-ish renaissance ideals (just be an educated, preferably Christian white man in good health and all will be well) to set it apart from the old nations dominated by religion, a class system – with a democratic system of government at its core. The proroguing of Parliament here and the Cummings/ Johnston rhetoric generally bothered me a fair bit, but eventually we had last year’s election – I just wonder where we’ll be in 3 years as the run-up to the next US election should be starting.

Footage shows dogs being dragged by the side of car in Darenth Park Avenue, DartfordHowever, several people defended the driver, with one person saying: “Nothing wrong here these dogs need lots of exercise.
“They are bred to chase rabbits around a field to protect farmer’s crops from damage so they need to build up their muscles.
“Also let’s not forget greyhound racing has been a sport for many years.”
