I was perhaps unreasonably, delighted to have come across the 'Except Cycles' sign. However, these signs must be in short supply as the 'Except Cycles' addition was only to be found at one end 😎 @nathanley.com

Are you expecting a delivery today? And, do you have a can of pop in the fridge? 😎

"If you say “I support Palestine Action”, they might put you in jail. If you incite a racist riot, they put you on TV." Or, they'll invite you to speak in the Oxford Union.

Maybe Trump should give FIFA a peace prize for silencing the boos. (Okay rubbish joke, but I made it up)

Context for Belfast riots

Competitor at a charity sports day held at London's Herne Hill Velodrome, in which tradesmen had to carry half-bushel baskets as they cycled around the track. September 7, 1938

It's my own fault for looking at Twitter. 'I don't have a problem with trans people, it's trans activists who are the problem' 'I don't have a problem with people of colour, it's civil rights campaigners who are the problem' '...It's the people campaigning for safer and more accessible streets'

This chap wants to know what people do in bad weather. The context is if you often use your bike to commute, or as part of your commute. So, what do you do in bad weather (be nice)?

In case you were wondering, if you are invited to a bbq hosted by a veggie... No, it's not okay if you bring your own meat. If you are such a fussy eater that you must eat meat then sit this one out.

The Daily Star have bought another lettuce 👀

The Supreme Court has granted Tower Hamlets Council permission to appeal the ruling that removing Bethnal Green's LTNs was unlawful. We are disappointed, but undeterred. We won at the Court of Appeal and we'll fight this too, but we need your support. www.crowdjustice.com/case/defendi...

Politicians and media attacking @zackpolanski.bsky.social over antisemitism lack any decency. So says Rabbi Herschel Gluck - who was given an OBE for advancing interfaith understanding.

Looking forward to Dj Dom coming to Oxford this Sunday to spread some of his distinction type of fun. Horn!

Long-term exposure to the Daily Mail 'changes brain structure, leaving readers at significant risk of radicalization, demotivated and unable to deal with the reality'

Happy days! The 24 hour clock in our car is 'right'. Ie 12 hours fast, instead of 11 - as it has been for the last 6 months.

It's not about the flags, Matthew. This is about a small group of thugs who are traveling around the country in their cherry picker, looking for trouble. They live streamed themselves and took delight at being abusive to anyone who engaged with them.

Niche tip for anyone who commutes from Oxford to London, and uses a Lime bike to get to their office... An Hour Lime pass costs £5 in Oxford, and £7 in London. Buy your pass in Oxford and save a whopping £2 pound on your commute

EXPOSED. Daily Mail editorial line... FURY as short them interests of global capital are at risk! MUST NOT let readers consider that reducing dependence on fossil fuels offers huge personal and social benefits. MUST maintain culture war heuristics so as to avoid rational thoughts of readers.

Plumber wins by-election for Greens From the new Private Eye, in shops now.

Landscape ecological restoration. It can be done but we need to get a move on. This is Carrifran where the sheep were removed to allow this native woodland to take over.

Well done, and Congratulations to Hannah Spencer and the Green party! I'm planning to celebrate tonight with a bottle of Champagne paired with Tofu 'Fish' and chips. Champagne socialist, Tofu Wokerati and proud 😎

Keeping it local. With the beer from the excellent Church Hanbrewery micro brewery. Brought from their micro bar, the Tear Drop, on a swift after work visit to the Covered Market yesterday. Cheers

Really great to speak to the wonderful Big Issue recently about transport policy in Oxford www.bigissue.com/news/environ...

Do you own an Electric vehicle, and was your decision informed by your concern for the environment?

Greens take Reform seat in first of its kind win

Hi Joanna, I just read your piece on these protests. I was interested to see the pictures of the farmer with the black 'Together' placard. This bunch have a history of co-opting populist causes. Lockdown, 15 minute cities etc. This rentamob have a history in Oxford www.desmog.com/2024/05/24/t...

Any moment now RT / Russian Today are going to show up this clip as evidence that the UK doesn't have freedom of speech anymore.

This, but not just people from the left. Sure, you are loving, compassionate, and you are concerned about the welfare of other animals, so long as those animals are you pets, or you consider them to be cute.

I don't blame Alexander Boris de Pfeffel Johnson for my wife's long COVID. Nor do I blame him for her needing to use a wheelchair to get through an airport with chronic fatigue. However, it's unforgivable that Johnson doesn't understand the role of COVID or his failures in the pandemic.

The best thing about Chipping Norton at Christmas is the Henry nativity scene.

Of course, @oxfordclarion.bsky.social, I do think you missed a trick with not giving an honourable mention to Oriel’s Grade I listed cat flap

Bless the reactionary right, and their semantic grievances. Their rules: A fake plastic Christmas Tree must be called a Christmas tree. A vegetarian burger has absolutely no business being called a burger And don't get them started on soya milk.

Retweeting this important thread due to Florence's connection to Oxford 🙂

Exactly this. *Thinking of buying a new car? Here you go, here's £3,750 of tax payers money to encourage you to do so. No questions asked. Can we help pay for your charget as well? *Thinking about buying a new bike? Maybe an electric cago bike as your family vehicle? Sorry, not interested.

@nathanley.com It seems that Reach plc have completed their fall from a local newspaper to an clickbait grievance generator. I'm left wondering if Matt Simpson is an actual journalist, or AI bot tasked with providing the worst possible interpretation of actual events.

For over three years long COVID has had a devastating impact on my wife. She tried everything, and there's been a slight recovery over the years. Something remarkable has happened. In her 3 trimester of pregnancy her energy increased. Now, with a young baby, symptoms have almost entirely gone.

Oxford's car first lobby are so very close to getting it. You can have trees and 'nice public spaces' Or You can have car parking and car first streets. You can't have both.

It's ironic really. 'Open Roads for Oxford' campaign against traffic filters, and traffic restrictions. They are using a picture of Broad Street to illustrate an Open Roads. The reason Broad Street is an Open Road, is entirely due to it's traffic filters and traffic restrictions.

Irresponsibly posting my location on social media. (Halloween edition)

Four days to go for this consultation: letstalk.oxfordshire.gov.uk/east-st-hele... If you have a few minutes to respond positively to this scheme which will make it dramatically nicer to walk, wheel, cycle, scoot in my town, I would very much appreciate it My long video included below Thank you!

An essential thread that addresses the myths and self deceptions behind common ethical, environmental, or welfare reasons people give to justify their animal protein laced diet.

Distribute Oxford Congestion charge permits to everyone in the city. People holding permits at the end of the year receive compensation for any remaining permits, paid for from charges. Okay, this has its flaws, but it's a an incentive and compensation to people who are not part of the problem.
