Palestine Action have WON their judicial review in the High Court! A massive victory for free speech, freedom of association and the right to protest. A massive defeat for the draconian attempts by Keir Starmer's government to curtail our fundamental rights.

'Tis the season again ... the autumn and winter rubbish has accumulated and we want to help put a proper Spring in everyone's step. Help us clean up this local footpath www.foresthillsociety.com/event-detail...

I'm glad that @zackpolanski.bsky.social has become leader of the Green Party. I believe his style and emphasis meet the challenge of the moment.

Polanski has won *by a landslide*. 20,000+ votes vs 3,705 for Ra,say/Chowns

I am one of the 14 authors who chose to leave the Polari Prize, and I find myself frustrated and saddened at the way this entire story has been represented. 1/

It's three years this week since the UK media reported that 1000 families were going to sue the Tavistock (Gender Identity Clinic) for medical mispractice. There wasn't one "family", let alone 1000. It was clear, at the time, that it was bullshit propaganda, and even clearer now. 1/

👌 “The stated rationale for the protracted [fuel duty] freeze since 2010 is that it helps hard-pressed motorists, but the main beneficiaries have not been white-van man but the better off, who drive more, own more vehicles and buy gas-guzzling SUVs.“ www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

In a landmark ruling, a UK judge has upheld the public’s right to submit dashcam and helmet-cam footage to police, after a retired solicitor attempted to sue a cyclist who filmed her using a mobile phone while driving. ✍️ - @carltonreid.com www.forbes.com/sites/carlto...

This was already a problem before the slop era. So now we are properly fucked.

Not sure I would blame NR directly for this, but we definitely need to get to grips with underhand 'engagement' tactics like this from agencies or they will undermine the whole process of citizen participation in decision-making.

Fantastic day marching, and chanting, around London for #transpride - lovely atmosphere

I's so f***ing annoyed with myself. I had managed to avoid FB for years, but needed to promote a local event for the @fhsoc.bsky.social so put a tiny £ amount into promotion there. The result, because they required my mobile number for authentication, is nothing but sp*m calls to my mobile - daily.

Right I'm so pissed off that we've got London MPs trying to hijack the Local Buses Bill (which is supposed to be about STUFF OUTSIDE LONDON for a change) to try to ban London / all floating bus stops (utter nonsense), that I've stayed up late writing evidence for the committee. Join me! Link ⬇️

if you hadn't heard, there's currently a proposal in Parliament to ban floating bus stops. if it succeeds, it will kill the delivery of safe cycling in cities in the UK stone dead. Mark's submission here illustrates this in detail. I urge everyone to ask their MP to oppose it unequivocally

It took far too long to convince myself this was not actually Eric Idle and Terry Jones doing a Monty Python sketch

🌲Ed Sheeran explains to Louis Theroux that he dislikes private jets and prefers trains because "I like the environment, I like trees." We know that this type of messaging from celebrities is hugely impactful. We need far more of this from more stars. As posted by @nowthisimpact.bsky.social

A short wrap-up post about last weekend's Forest Hill Walking Festival Together we covered around 340 miles and 680,000 steps! Hopefully we created some new friends and a better insight into our local area. #se23 #lovelocal www.foresthillsociety.com/post/forest-...

Only if your cycle fits and it isn't filled up. 12 minute frequency, space for 8 standard cycles - just 40 cycles per hour in each direction. Time to reimaging Rotherhithe. cityinfinity.co.uk/2024/08/05/r...

I'm very excited to have been able to put this together. Normally each reserve is open only one day a month & they rarely coincide. This is a really unique opportunity. Thanks to each Friends group, to @lewisham.gov.uk and to @hornimanmuseum.bsky.social for the support #se23 #walking #nature

What NOT to say to your neighbour across the fence this weekend: I admire your unflinching commitment to #NoMowMay

So immensely proud of my wife, running her first half marathon (20 years after her last full marathon) in 1:55 at Battersea Park

A development has appeared on the corner of Dacres Road and Perry Vale - and yet no-one seems to know what it is about. #se23 www.foresthillsociety.com/post/mysteri...

🏃 Telraam hits the streets! During the European Running Championships, our sensors picked up a clear spike in foot traffic 🏁 A great example of how Telraam captures changes in mobility during big events 🚶📊 And we didn’t just measure it, we ran it too! #TrafficData #SmartMobility #RunBrussels

The first Telraam Outdoor S2 device in the UK is now active and counting. @oxfordshirecc.bsky.social is continuously monitoring vehicles, bikes and pedestrians on the busy Middleton Stoney road. Follow along here: telraam.net/en/location/...

This is hilarious! 😀 @theguardian.com seem to have done more data validation for this one article, than the US administration did for a global trade policy.

Today we celebrate the International Day of Forests ... which seems appropriate for our area, and a reminder that we are lucky we still have some local remnants of The Great North Wood. Do seek them out and support them! www.fao.org/internationa...

New study provides further evidence that when it comes to travel, what people think is less important than their environment www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... This nicely agrees with the Reverse Causality Hypothesis (www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...) which says attitudes FOLLOW behaviour

Look at this. Musk & Trump still gunning to take over Canada. I think Canadians should establish a “European Movement Canada” in response, campaigning for Canada to join the EU. 🇨🇦 🇪🇺

Great way spend Boxing Day afternoon

Good news. Because I have a picture of a street with no cars in it, we don’t need streets for cars. I know that because of all the helpful people who have told me over the years that because they have a picture of a bike-lane with no bikes in it, we don’t need bike-lanes. Sounds reasonable, right?

@sustrans.bsky.social you really need to have a serious look at your email systems. Every email I send you (from my gmail account) gets quarantined and not delivered. This is even for replies to your staff who have contacted me. Surely there's something you can do?

Last night's event in Forest Hill #SE23 was a great success, despite the best efforts of #stormdarragh Thank you to everyone, including kids, who came by to sing carols and hear about the #mural. Our grateful thanks to our special guest @elliereeves.bsky.social Have a wonderful Christmas!
