Only gets a 3 year driving ban, once he is out!! FFS!!
That’s an insult to the people that he injured – why on earth would the public ever want him to hold a driving license again?
I love the Right Wing Stuff … If your happy for migrants and Pakistani heritage rapists to abuse your children you are not wanted in this country… The Right wing are the majority of the British population ….. The left … who are they, why do they hate everything about this country … There’s A War Coming …. You will have to pick a side … ????You’ve fallen for their rhetoric and lies.
The war isn’t between Left and Right, but between the rich and the poor. The “left” wants to help the poor become better off and the “right” wants the richest to get even more money. If you love your country, then you shouldn’t want the rich to own more and more of it. If you hate this country, then you probably welcome the Tories/Reform aiming to destroy the NHS so that they can sell off lucrative contracts to their mates who can then fleece everyone with sky high medical bills (see the U.S. where medical bills are the number one cause of bankruptcies).
Don’t let yourself be tricked by wily politicians who are only after their own enrichment and care not one bit about you – they’d happily sell you off to work in a Victorian factory if they didn’t have to abide by human rights laws.
(Incidentally, if you really care about stopping rapists, then you should be caring more about the top rung of society that Epstein used to ply with vulnerable girls – it’s the rich white males that are the real problem).
Also, if you really care about immigration, then why would you want to follow the advice of Farage who was instrumental in tricking us into leaving the EU which now makes it harder to control immigration as we no longer share information with e.g. France. Farage is literally banging on about a problem that he helped exacerbate.

No idea because with long threads it’s hard to know what you replied to… Aha! So now the merit of the wtjs (patent pending) italicized message beginning becomes apparent!I find it easier to just use the “Quote” button, though your italics then gets included which confuses matters. Also, the text within a Quote block doesn’t appear in the “Latest Comments” at the bottom of the page, whereas your italics does, which makes it less clear what you’re actually saying without having to go and read your comment.

[quote=chrisonabike]”Bollards to be removed” – shurely “cars to be removed? ” As you note – without that little will change. Bollards can be made so the likes of fire engines can run over them in emergencies like “can’t find the key” (see Ranty Highwayman on this). Motor vehicles are a tougher obstacle. https://therantyhighwayman.blogspot.com/2016/12/filtered-permeability-vs-necessary.html%5B/quote%5D
Motor vehicles don’t have to be a tough obstacle if you’re driving a fire engine like this one:

A rat-run lane near a primary school which is often used as a cut-through could soon be blocked off. Due to several ‘incidents of vehicles overturning’, Bristol City Council is planning to close Rosemary Lane on the border between Easton and Eastville to cars.This is what’s required – close roads to vehicles if the drivers can’t keep them the right side up

Maybe drivers should take a little bit of care around zebra crossings?
I think I shall wimp out of opening up the shifter. I am bound to find that I cannot get the damn thing back together!That’s when you sheepishly turn up to a bike shop and claim that your dog ate your shifter

Thought I’d stick my oar in here, despite never having used Claris or Microshift.
The shifter is basically just pulling the cable by a fixed amount, so it’s bizarre that you can manually pull the cable and the cage moves out, but the shifter can’t be made to do that by tightening the cable. I can understand if the shifter pull amount is not quite right, that it can’t properly shift the cage to all three positions, but that doesn’t seem to be what’s happening here.
Could it be that the cable is somehow slipping within the shifter and thus not pulling correctly at higher tension? I’d be tempted to open up the shifter and verify that everything looks to be working properly.
Another day, another Reform

So, according to Alexander Jones, you need white skin to be English.

Bizarrely, the BBC which absolutely LOVES giving as much coverage to Reform as possible has completely missed that story.
