Lol … Brexit success
All the rules from Brussels. None of the say. UK farmers backed themselves into a losing corner, yet again. Or left out to hang, depending on your viewpoint. Either way, they’re taking another one for the team.
Profits for major supermarkets set to rise, yet again at the expense of decent and local.
Import v local. The green lobby loses that one too.
Politics is fun, you can always make the argument you won or lost.
The greens have shot themselves in the foot with my by strongly opposing nuclear power. It is not a tenable stance to take in a green economy. In my opinion anyway.
you’re gonna need some evidence of intention
We have a legal age of 18. Some people make porn that is “barely legal”. The intention is to make that illegal. The evidence is in the article.
Performance art.
Anything in the UK carried for the intent to harm another person is a weapon. I do lots of low impact woodland/forest work. Axes, saws etc. in my bag. If I carried them to a Birmingham park to murder someone they would be weapons and not allowed. If I carry them into a woodland I have a contract to manage, they are tools and allowed.
These extra rules/laws don’t change the above. The swords could still have been outlawed as weapons by the legal system.
But… doing this means the perl clutches can sleep easy knowing “something is being done”
There are some great examples of cycle lane design out there. And some atrocious examples of cycle lanes that have been built. But that’s a separate rant.
If we had a quality cycle lane network, we could have adapted that to support “more than walking, less that driving” lanes without much issue.
The earlier we invest in this new class of highway the cheaper and easier it will be.
It’s almost as if we don’t all have to pick a team and support everything they do. This isn’t sports all, this is politics.
I can support trans-rights, hate the Rwanda plan and like nuclear if i want to.
Got a pair of rescue dogs … neither of whome can cope.
The younger one is OK with the first couple of fireworks. But once they become more consistent he gets anxious. I think we can train through that though. We’ve only had him this year, so this is our first experience.
The older girl. As soon as the first bang goes off she’s a shaking mess. Refuses treats and training just causes her more anxiety. She will completely ignore loud bangs on the TV, so that training method on other days doesn’t help.
The job of every guard is to look out for threats.
And this “threat” has already had an exception written into the Security staffing standards. So, despite what that individual thinks, the item is not a security threat and the staff member is in the wrong.
Apologies have been made, and training hopefully improved.
Funny … I only know about the protest because she was there and arrested.
Funny … you’re bothering to promote her acts by commenting on social media about it.
Go sit in the corner rude boy.
One of the most worrying things here, to me.
We have 100 highly trained police staff who do not trust our legal process to only prosecute the guilty.
I’d like to see more of a breakdown.
The stats on helmets etc. are interesting, but they only tell a part of the story.
The issue with these things being illegal, is the decent people who follow common sense rules and safety stay away. Because they’re illegal. This means the only people who are riding them, are assholes or asshole related. By definition. They’re already breaking the illegal rule, just by using the device. They are not likely to be people who will wear helmets, or be people who will honour (or teach their sprogs to honour) highway code or any other code of common sense. So of course, the accident to user ratio is quite high. Decent users, are not users at all.
I agree with other commenters, these can/could/should be positive devices. Allowing all electric “green” transportation in a tiny footprint. This would work, if we had the cycle/safe-space infrastructure to allow it and if we had a population that would enforce a level of common sense safety.
