Well said George. It is utterly bizarre how this is being presented, as if Tim Davie had resigned because of left wing BBC bias. Whereas the former Conservative politician, Tim Davie, has actually been imposing extreme right wing bias on the BBC. But apparently, not enough for some.

Once every 20 years or so, the director-general of the BBC is forced to resign for being insufficiently rightwing. Alastair Milne in 1987. Greg Dyke in 2004. Tim Davie in 2025. The great irony is that the BBC was in all cases profoundly biased towards established power. But just not biased enough …

They are reading out the names of the 18,000 children killed in Gaza by Israel today on Blackheath Common. A really moving tribute on remembrance day. #lestweforget

This is great for those like me who live on the Lizzie line but one does wonder why can't the rest of the UK have this level of investment.

Shocking.

Another runway means higher emissions, more flights, and little economic benefit. Instead of doubling down on airport expansion, the UK should focus on sustainable transport and policies that genuinely grow the economy without destroying the climate.

m.imdb.com/title/tt3694... Saw the Voice of Hind Rajab last night. A very powerful docudrama that stunned and angered the audience at the British Film Institute UK premiere. The inhumanity of the IDF; their sheer brutality makes you despise them.

It is good to see a politician speaking directly about immigration and the diversity it brings as positive things.

Greta Thunberg is braver, more principled and has a stronger moral fibre than many of the world's elected and unelected leaders Her interview with Aftonbladet: www.aftonbladet.se/nyheter/a/25... "everything they do is extremely violent"

Despite repression and retaliation, the Gaza genocide has pushed an unprecedented wave of artists across the entertainment industry to back the cultural boycott of Israel. mondoweiss.net/2025/10/as-s... #Palestine #Israel

Good news that we don't always catch up on.

Just found out we have a new bike hangar on our road. Thanks Greenwich Council.

Free Greta Thunberg and the rest of the illegally detained flotilla activists.

And as you know this doesn't happen to anything like the extent in London. The law is stronger and there is more enforcement here. Drivers drive better ( still room for improvement ) and park much more often legally. So getting control of Brum's dire situation is doable.

So little space is given to objective truth.

Appalling decision.

Wow.

Every one of us will need to see this film.

And this is bad news for those in the UK who think we can adapt slowly to climate change and end up with a better climate. This would make life so much harder.

🔔 New Cycle Infra Alert! 🔔 Yesterday, a group of us went to explore a brand new protected cycle lane on York Way near London’s King’s Cross and it’s MAGNIFICENT. It also has an excellent bus stop bypass, and nearby, a pre - LTN roundabout 👀👀 … 1/12 🧵

Safer Streets infrastructure is so much more advanced in London despite their being much still to do.

Polls consistently show that Jewish Israelis view Palestinians as less than human. This deep-seated racism is rooted in the Zionist colonial project and helps explain the broad support for the Gaza genocide. mondoweiss.net/2025/08/in-i... #Palestine #Israel

Me: "Anera is wrong? Christian Aid is wrong? The Danish Refugee Council is wrong? The Norwegian Refugee Council is wrong? Doctors Without Borders is wrong? Save the Children is wrong? Oxfam is wrong? 100 aid groups are all wrong? Do you realize how silly you sound?"

Israel have bombed another hospital. Waited for medics to arrive - and then bombed again. Britain keeps selling arms to this genocidal regime. Starmer & Lammy say they're "horrified". They condemn. But they do nothing. All the war criminals must face justice.

This year’s Notting Hill Carnival again captured the very best of London. A city where we believe that our diversity is a strength to be celebrated, not a weakness. A London without Carnival is unthinkable.

As one who knows both cities +tive change for cycling is happening in London; it varies between boroughs and there is opposition but with the Mayor and some committed boroughs there is progress. As for Brum my heart goes out to you. The lack of progress in Brum was one reason for my leaving it.

Jacob Lew, Biden’s former ambassador to Israel, told the New Yorker that the killing of Palestinian children in Gaza was justified.

There's not a soul in the streets, just a little 4-year-old boy playing in the sand in his yard. The commander suddenly starts running, grabs the boy, and breaks his arm at the elbow and his leg here. Stepped on his stomach three times and left. We all stood there with our mouths open.

A new poll by the Israel Democracy Institute shows that 4 out of 5 Jewish Israelis – 79% - are not troubled by reports of Palestinian famine and suffering in Gaza. mondoweiss.net/2025/08/poll...

Who has called Israel's actions genocide? — B’Tselem — Human Rights Watch — Amnesty International — Center for Constitutional Rights — International Association of Genocide Scholars — UN Special Rapporteurs — International Court of Justice

Two Israeli human rights groups have come out and said that Israel is comitting genocide in Gaza. Is there anyone credible left who does not thinkg this is the case? The evidence is overwhleming and terrfiying www.theguardian.com/world/2025/j...

They need to dump Starmer and Lammy and send them to the Hague.

For every politician and journalist who supported Israel's onslaught, or stayed silent: This photograph should haunt you for the rest of your life. You will never scrub the shame away. No future achievement, however great, will ever erase what you helped inflict on Gaza.

Quite funny that the Silvertown tunnel is still having less impact on reducing cross river congestion than the toll they put in place to pay for the Silvertown tunnel
