Seven points and a £300 fine. Utterly pathetic for a hit and run against a 12 year old boy that could have killed him. This is sickening motornormativity gone utterly mad. Imagine the outcry if it had been an e-scooter, or a cyclist! www.oxfordmail.co.uk/news/2627152...

I nearly got taken off my bike today using this crossing where Marsh Road, Cowley Road, and Oxford Road meet. Van driver doing well over 20mphyelling that I shouldn't be cycling on the crossing. The markings are badly faded. Could @oxfordshirecc.bsky.social fix? www.fixmystreet.com/report/9760500

Nigel Farage talking about broken Britain is like Fred West complaining that his patio is uneven.

If that hadn't happened for 5-10 years I might very slightly believe some of the claims of the climate change deniers, but this is the third time in three weeks. We are in trouble.

This concert ar St Barnabas will be sublime this evening. Why not come if you're at a loose end? www.trybooking.com/uk/events/la... Ask me for a 20% discount code for full price tickets. Discounts won't be available on the door. @oxfordchoir.org

An exciting place and time to be, if a little warm! @ox.ac.uk

A lot of truth here.

A fascinating article about more fallout from Brexit. It makes me very sad. I'm not sure I'd go as far as "destroyed" but there has certainly been significant and widespread damage. national.thelead.uk/p/brexit-eu-...

www.oxfordmail.co.uk/news/2620395... If only the junction in the picture was the one the story is about. Embarrassing for @theoxfordmail.bsky.social

Click-bait, biased, headlining. From the article "overall, most businesses in Oxford said they are performing well (72 per cent) and 79 per cent of businesses who gave a view on their performance compared to a year ago said they are doing the same or better." www.oxfordmail.co.uk/news/2619539...

cllrdrnathanley.substack.com/p/why-driver... Spot on @nathanley.com Thank you.

A hugely pleasing @ofstednews.bsky.social outcome for the School where I have had the privilege of serving as Chair of Governors for almost four years. It reflects the extraordinary commitment of the school's staff, students, governors, and wider community. www.oxfordmail.co.uk/news/2616967...

Extremely good news for Oxford and Oxfordshire. news.oxfordshire.gov.uk/oxfordshire-... Thanks to Andrew Gant for getting this great result.

This is getting very close to requiring a government debate. Please sign and share it if you agree with its aim. petition.parliament.uk/petitions/74...

🚨 Updates: 1) THE REJOIN PETITION is now over 91,700 signatures! 2) THE NATIONAL REJOIN MARCH CROWDFUNDER Is now at over £23,700 of a £24,000 goal A last push from everyone who has thought about it but hasn’t done one or both yet please!

Driving down the M74, A74, M6, M42, M40; hanging around at airports for ages (and still having to get home from Birmingham or London afterwards); or these views from the comfortable air-conditioned Avanti West Coast train? No competition!

I made some hot and sour soup for lunch. Mostly this recipe www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/hot-... but I didn't have any Char Siu pork so I just used more tofu. I also made it all in the pressure cooker and brought it up to pressure for about a minute to make sure the flavours were well combined.

Legislation to enable local leaders to prohibit pavement parking in England has been included in the English Devolution and Community Empowerment Bill. Some of our supporters have been telling us what new freedoms this will bring them.

Yes. The question is why?

I thought my neighbourhood might like to know about @oxfordclarion.bsky.social

Very pleased to see this ruling. OfS massively over-stepping and the fine would have hurt the University's students as much as anyone else. BBC News - University wins record freedom of speech fine challenge www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

American school children have.

The Moderator of the Wessex Synod of the @urc.org.uk comments on unauthorised flag flying where it makes people feel unsafe. It's after @oxfordshirecc.bsky.social formally warned a campaign group about attaching flags to lampposts. Have a listen timbre-player.sharp-stream.com/embed/item/5...

For the second day, the BBC are running a story that presents itself as providing evidence of endemic abuse of the asylum system based on seemingly a single encounter with someone who is neither a lawyer nor a registered immigration adviser. Words fail. This is reprehensibly irresponsible.

Urgh. This makes me want to leave Nectar completely. There is nothing whatsoever that's ethical about destroying local taxi businesses or bleeding restaurants dry and making roads extremely dangerous with speeding illegal electric motorbike conversions. Poor choice @sainsburys.bsky.social.

Bravo @urc.org.uk urc.org.uk/wessex-synod... And thank you @oxfordshirecc.bsky.social for taking a firm stance on this.

I read in @oxfordclarion.bsky.social that A £6m scheme to improve walking and cycling in East Oxford has gone out to tender. Will this include the much needed Warneford Meadow connection from Hill Top Road to Roosevelt Drive please @oxfordshirecc.bsky.social ?

I'd say this is what proper, mature, leadership looks like. Bravo @oxfordshirecc.bsky.social news.oxfordshire.gov.uk/unauthorised...

Could you do this? www.jobs24.co.uk/job/faciliti...

Fantastic news, and not really a surprise! I look forward to seeing the ORFOL arguments.

This makes me sick to my stomach. The hateful mis-gendering quote from the Directory of Advocacy at "Sex Matters" is absolutely disgusting. It's the sort of thing that causes death by suicide of vulnerable young people. If that's what an Advocacy Director is for then I'm the Queen of Sheba.

Want to come and work for the church with possibly the best hiring spaces in Oxford?

Phew. A victory for moderate and compassionate politics. We need more of this. BBC News - France's Socialists hold on to power in major cities in election boost for mainstream www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Fantastic venue for a concert with choir and saxophone. Looking forward to being part of it later. www.oxfordchoir.org/event-detail... it's not to late to come and hear us.

What's happened at Cowley Road near Dawson St/Circus St? Looked completely jammed from the Plain with emergency vehicles (police, ambulance ) present. I turned round and used Iffley Road. I hope nobody injured or worse.

Because @oxfordcitycouncil.bsky.social it's about the only official hardcopy printed form of proof of address I have now. Utility bills and so on are all online PDFs.

Can't @theoxfordmail.bsky.social reporters even use Google maps? Magdalen Road is NOWHERE NEAR Windmill School. Unbelievably poor journalism. It's no wonder the circulation is collapsing. www.oxfordmail.co.uk/news/2589096... Bring on @oxfordclarion.bsky.social !

Ridgefield Road by Leys Place in East Oxford. Terrifying on a bike and probably fatal on a scooter.

This gives me some hope that things might improve for our trans and GNC siblings if the government takes note. I really hope it does. www.helenwebberley.com/p/i-have-ref...

As Valentine’s Day approaches, please be alert to the emotional and psychological manipulation used by criminals committing romance fraud. There's a great booklet about this available at s-url.co/glkrAA

Hello @annarailton.bsky.social I don't know if you're aware but there is a problem with a key City Cycle route past Cowley Marsh Park. The ditch is blocked so Barracks Lane is flooded making cycling messy and dangerous. Can you help? Lots of reports already e.g. www.fixmystreet.com/report/8733414

Where are you @thamesvalleypolice.bsky.social ?

Rymer's Lane showing gas works, heading South this morning by Flo's. I thought @oxfordshirecc.bsky.social had a policy against Cyclists Dismount signs? Particularly pointless ones like this? There was plenty of room both for cyclists and pedestrians.

I'll just get my tiny violin. And hope that this man is as compassionate and understanding to other MPs if they find themselves in this situation. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Reminder to everyone: If a web page asks you to open PowerShell or press the windows key and "R" it is not a quick fix, it is not an urgent patch. It's a burglary where you open the door and let the criminal in. Don't fall for it. (from a LinkedIn post by the CEO of EscapeVelocity)

To all motorised vehicle drivers: I'm not apologising for using the main carriageway rather than the ungritted and icy cycle path today. You only get to the next queue quicker if you barge past me. Be patient. Be safe. It's -4 degrees C !

Utter incoherent gibberish. www.oxfordmail.co.uk/news/2571424... Needs Specsavers if he can't see how those of may different faiths and none live in Oxford in peace and harmony and have done so for years. Perhaps a look at events like this might teach him something too oxcof.org.uk/friendship-w...

Anyone up for Beer and Carols at the Marsh Harrier in Cowley on Saturday at 6pm? Would be fun to see you there.

A very car and driver centric article. My 9 year old Ford Ka+ has a speed limit. Don:t almost all cars since then have them? They are really very easy to use and definitely save lives. BBC News - Evan Davis: Why so many people break 20mph speed limits - BBC News www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
