One of the most disturbing interviews I’ve heard in a while — an interviewer veering into blaming pedestrians killed on our roads for not wearing hi-vis, and a bus drivers’ union pushing the same line.

The sign transitioned, so she decided to ignore its existence.

Historian of medicine here. Yes. Yes, they did.

why is it so often a wankpanzer driver who can't understand/obey road markings? @yplac.bsky.social

no driver, of course... www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

91mph, killed someone. It's relentless. Imagine the outcry if trains or planes killed this frequently. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Interesting framing here, 'blaming' enough bikes and scooters when the problem is drivers. "remained a major issue across Calderdale, with 478 people injured on its roads in 2024, including 149 killed or seriously injured" open.substack.com/pub/thecalde...

Just checking, it's now ok to flee your homeland, because you're afraid for your safety, and seek refuge in another Country? Glad we've cleared that up. Let's hear no more about immigration and refugees then.

I’ve moved! I’ve set up a bigger space in the Scottish Design Exchange in Buchanan Galleries More Glasgow illustrated maps, more architecture prints and more tea towels. I’ll be restocking more regularly so this is the place to shop if you’re looking for any of my artwork.

I genuinely feel like I am losing my mind. Nadhim Zahawi ermed his way through a radio interview where he said that he'd seen a man on his affluent street at 8 a.m. who did and said nothing to him but 'looked like he hadn't slept' and he was so scared that he walked into the middle of the road.

I've put the washing out. Hurrah! Actual sunshine in Glasgow. Sort of. Us gingers have nothing to worry about.

More than 250 people die each year in UK drink-drive crashes. Every death leaves a devastated family. Soft drinks are available. Surely no responsible pub needs a drink-driver’s trade? Anyone arguing for a different drink-drive position should meet with a bereaved family and see the lifelong impact.

Sun? Heard of it.

Isn’t it time we changed the language of “sex trafficking”? Instead use “Rape trafficking”. Sex implies consent. There is none. This is rape, coercion and abuse of vulnerable people. Our language should reflect the harm inflicted. Words matter. www.telegraph.co.uk/us/news/2026...

The other funny thing about this is that surely it makes most people hate the "lickspittle cunt" (s he was famously described) even more because not only was he great chums with Mandleson, now we know he's the kind of weasel who'll happily throw his friends under the bus if it helps him get ahead

Glasgow being Glasgow, again

Oh hello dropped kerb wanker @yplac.bsky.social

Scene: an office in central London. The curtains are closed. A flag dangles limply from a mantelpiece. There is no sound except the faint squeak of an office chair going slowly round and round and round.

It’s the oldest story in the world. The Epstein Files reminded me of this piece I wrote on a devastating anniversary.
