Not the most savoury example of behaviour... however, this happened over 5 years ago and in Belgium! I'm guessing that similar stories from the UK to help vindicate the Viscount's hatred of cycling are a bit thin on the ground. So this is 'news'. Someone tell them about cars.

Every cloud eh?

Hey Mirage... over 98% of this county identified as white in the last census... So, what's the reason your team just had their arses handed to them here? Well done Murton... you worked them out pretty quickly!

Currently standing by waiting for the announcement that he's ended 9 wars. Or, it might be 14, considering how many countries are now involved.

Sometimes the headlines just write themselves😁

This would never work in the UK... it's just too sensible.

Love this one from NI... how to reduce the cost of car ownership for young people in areas poorly served by public transport... err... how about improving the public transport? Or is that just me?🤔

So, this is the second question in a single day from Tory MPs about motorcycles using bus lanes. It was something they pushed for in the last few months they were in power. I'm sure their keenness has nothing to do with Rishi's brother in law being the CEO of 1 of the biggest m/c manufacturers.🤔

Right... first of all, which one of you impersonated a police officer and called Tommy? Secondly, make sure no-one tells him to look up terror attacks and threats in Spain nor what their immigration policy is. Also, don't mention their plans to restrict X. That way he might stay there.

@rantyhighwayman.bsky.social I can't believe you missed this one!! Lizzi wants to take us back to the 60's. I can just imagine the TdF teams next year working furiously to get a streamlined version. How do these idiots get elected?

Who would have thought it? Making bigger roads is not value for money. Remind me again what the proportion of Active Travel spending is compared to that on roads? BBC News - Most smart motorways 'not value for money' say reports www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

An extreme example maybe, but this demonstrates the huge difference in transport priorities. £16.30 for a single trip to a London airport versus 6 pence for a week of public transport in Singapore, including 2 airport trips. We'll never reduce car reliance when we charge so much for public transport

What took her so long? BBC News - Ex-Tory Home Secretary Suella Braverman defects to Reform UK www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

So, that's OK now then? A page 27 retraction by the orange buffoon means Nige and his pals can go back to fawning over him like nothing happened.

This is likely going to be what starts happening in the UK soon too. They are hugely expensive to rent and wilfully abandoned too often. It's a shame that the Boris Bikes can't be expanded, then we wouldn't have this problem.

I've just noticed that what looks to be an authentic account has been flagged as an "Impersonation" by the BS team🤣. Impersonating what? An MP? Or, the Prime Minister? Asking for a friend... and the many Lab MPs following this account!

@antoniabance.bsky.social you do realise how many devices can access the Internet other than phones right? This is a pretty lame suggestion and really just tells me you don't think your govt should be expected to do the hard work. Getting off X and setting examples might not be a bad place to start.

@antoniabance.bsky.social well done on being verified. It's all a bit meaningless though if you control who gets to reply to you. All seems a bit, well, undemocratic. If you're going to post on here then post. If you're going to just chat to your friends then try WA or Signal.

Look who's rocked up on bsky! Over from the dark side. No posts yet and a new force, but looks the real deal...🤔 Have we got any other senior UK police officers on here? @mrjamesob.bsky.social @rantyhighwayman.bsky.social

I joined the FB Cybertruck Owners group for poohs & giggles. This is Toni (with an 'i'). He likes Cybertrucks.

@antoniabance.bsky.social it's very likely to do with the medium it's on. YouTube is the most widely used media in the world. So, putting a video there reaches a wider audience. I only ever listen to podcasts on it and don't actually watch them.

BBC News - No 10 denies Reeves misled public in run-up to Budget www.bbc.com/news/article... oh look... they're gunning for yet another female minister. It's almost like the press and the right don't like women in positions of power... Maggie was clearly their one and done.

It remains a constant source of amusement to me that the Daily Mail here receives absolutely no interaction from any BlueSky users. I just imagine the Viscount frothing away every day wondering what else he needs to do to convince intelligent people to read his crap.

Oh... does that mean we have to take him back?🤔 www.thenational.scot/news/2548233...

If you need the info to counter the arguments of the right wing on immigration then this is a good resource.

So then Nige. What about the majority of asylum seekers in the UK who don't arrive by small boats? Spaceship to Mars for them is it? You're just a grifter after power so you can make a shit ton of money for you and your mates. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Why are replies disabled to this one? Every time you do this I can't help but think you are here for propaganda purposes and unwilling to engage in discourse. How does this make you better than those spewing hate on X? @london.gov.uk

OK. I'm getting really bored of listening to middle-aged, rich white men telling me how they're going to make the UK a better place for us all. The thing is, it's already a pretty good place for middle-aged, rich white men. It's time for a female to be running things for a bit methinks.

I got excited by this story from the BBC as I thought they'd finally moved away from using 'accident' instead of 'crash' or 'collision'. Sadly, this only lasted until halfway through. Road death is almost never an 'accident'

So, we pay more tax, relative to GDP, than Spain.... a country with a socialist government. Bloody socialists!

Chopper Harris would be so proud.

I'm just wondering if Trump's recent shenanigans qualifies him for an honourary membership of CND?🤔

Hey Nige... how about stopping the yachts too?? Will your rich mates be OK with that? BBC News - Yachts an easy way to bring migrants to UK, says ex-smuggler - BBC News www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

I now have a Reform county councillor... any thoughts on what I should ask him?

Dear Keir and Ursula...

Maybe we stop highlighting cycle lanes and just call the roads with them 'multi-modal routes'? I am a multi-modalist myself and choose the most convenient form of transport for each situation. Invariably, it isn't a car, but that's just what works for me.

That will be a fun few days here. BBC News - Trump suggests UK state visit set for September www.bbc.com/news/article...

The FT is Japanese owned. I assume they are OK with this. So, have we clarified their position on the Maga Mess(iahs)?

So, now you get to pay a 125% tariffs on your MAGA merch. You really couldn't make it up.

#Resist 😁

Dear Redneck/Redcap... did you know that Colt makes the AR15? Of course you did... but they make them in EUROPE. Glock is AUSTRIAN and both HK and SIG are GERMAN. I shall help you draw the dots together. That idiot you voted for is fucking with your 2nd amendment rights. You know what to do...

So, what day do we think the markets will bottom out so Donnie's mates can all bag themselves some bargains? Will that one be named Freedom Day?

I'll add this one to "Things I didn't know were legal to do in the USA" Obviously, cycling in the street isn't what I meant. That's clearly illegal. It's the teenage biker taken out by a Pitt manoeuvre performed by a ski mask wearing cop in an unmarked police car. www.local10.com/news/local/2...

So, China, Russia, North Korea and Iran... do you now know exactly where to concentrate all of your hacking resources? Thought so.

Having a read of the Reform UK constitution I came across this gem, which is grounds for revocation of membership. As their 'members' pass the 200k mark, how many do you think they've checked? Is it just a case of "Were you once a LibDem?" The NF and the BNP are OK right @mrjamesob.bsky.social

I'm sure it's entirely innocent that Reform UK are registered at the same address🤔 What do you think @mrjamesob.bsky.social

Just waiting for the Daily Mail to report that Nige has followed suit.

For several hours today the world was a nicer place. Only because those who need to be told who to hate had nowhere to go while X was down.

Trump is correct... there are "big beautiful oceans" between the US and most of the world. So, why do they spend $900b pa on 1.3m services personnel? How have they managed to be involved in 123 military conflicts?

This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell. This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.
