I heard a bit of BBC Radio4 Any Questions this morning. Reform and Tory spouting lies about Net Zero making energy prices rocket, how we need North Sea Gas and Oil to lower prices. This went without challenge. The Green MP defended NZ from a strategy point of view but didn't challenge the price lie.

So I was trying to buy some new parts for a bike today. I asked the AI assistant a question to clarify compatibility. It answered in Spanish. I asked another question, reply in Spanish. I asked why it was answering in Spanish, it apologised in English. 1/2

Industrial heat is one of the hardest parts of the energy transition. This sand battery is now delivering fossil-free heat for industry, storing renewable electricity as high-temperature heat and releasing it when needed. Simple idea, big impact.

So BBC News, was this an ebike or an emotorbike? Ebikes as defined in law probably won't have pillion seats for a passenger. Do you know what it was or was this lazy journalism, disrespecting a victim, promoting the media anticycling campaign? www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Can somebody please educate journalists on the difference between bicycles, e-bikes and electric motorbikes, and the existing laws covering motorbikes. They could then perhaps educate readers instead of amplifying prejudices. www.oxfordmail.co.uk/news/2573221...

www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... A Cyber expert? Is that more expensive than an IT expert or even their own system or web administrator?

So are Reform or Robinson organising protests outside of vicarages? www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... A lot of confusion in this article, calling the vehicle both an ebike and a motorbike. BBC need to train their reporters. There are calls for a new law to deal with illegal ebikes, but surely they are motorbikes and the laws already exist for the rider and the bike.

Nigel Farage says abortion laws are “utterly ludicrous.” MPs are watching. We have days to show them: the public backs abortion rights. Join me and sign the petition now! you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/de...

I was out on a ride with a small group from my club this morning. We met two aggressive drivers, sounding their horn and passing us a great speed. Can anyone with contacts at the BBC, Mail, Times, Telegraph, ITV etc, let them know that their anticycling campaign is working.

So the money men are backing climate change. Make money from destruction and then more money from the ensuing chaos. I assume that the chaos bit is there view of a long term investment. Do they think that they are immune to climate change? www.theguardian.com/environment/...

www.bbc.com/news/article... Was it ebikes, electrically assisted pedal cycles, or motorbikes that happen to have electric motors. The BBC doesn't know the difference or prefer to demonise cyclists.

After this morning's ride, I think that amounts to 1p per pothole. www.nottinghampost.com/news/local-n...

Just watched the Ultimate Cycling Show on Quest. I thought it was very messy. A lot of chat between the presenters, but I didn't learn much about the big races this weekend. Not informative or grabbing for non cyclists. If this is the future of TNT cycling, then I'm glad that I am not subscribing.

Another case where bad driving is treated as an accident. 200 hours community service and a 20 month ban for the driver, who claimed that her vision had been impaired. Life is cheap unless you are inside a car. Time for serious response to road violence. www.heraldscotland.com/news/2496864...

Can we stop referring to these illegal vehicles as ebikes, the are illegal motorbikes. If they had a petrol engine there would be no controversy, just prosecutions. Why are the BBC and the MSM stirring up hatred for cyclists, while ignoring real road danger. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Surely at 30mph it's a motorbike not an ebike, illegal or otherwise. Part of the media's campaign of demonising cycling.

Why is the BBC paying for a promotion for tourism in Florida? Surely Florida is well known enough. How many more 'celebs' are going to get a free holiday in the states?

Let's correct the headline. DRIVER KILLS TWO CHILDREN IN HIT AND RUN INCIDENT www.itv.com/news/anglia/...

So a driver was fined for speeding, but newspaper tries to downplayvthe offence with misleading headline. www.warringtonguardian.co.uk/news/2489813...

road.cc/content/news... How bad does a driver need to be for a driving offence to be taken seriously? Drugs, driving onto the pavement, still only a suspended sentence and a 12 month ban. Are the lives and safety of cyclists and pedestrians worth so little.

If you want to see Michelle Mone kicked out of the House of Lords and arrested until she pays the £232,000,000 she owes give this a RT. If you want Rishi Sunak's involvement in the £14,900,000,000 PPE Fraud he covered up investigated, LIKE.

A whole series of offences which were not taken seriously by the courts. The sentences would have been longer if the driver had hit the cyclist with a piece of metal. But as the motorist was sitting in the metal! road.cc/content/news...

This is quite a story. But 12 years and 5 years for killing and burying a person, (cyclists are people), surely this is not taking road violence seriously. Both men will be back behind the wheel in a few years,but will we expect changed behaviour? road.cc/content/news...

Can I propose a controversial idea. No more new roads, widening and improvement schemes, until we can look after the existing ones. I was out and about today and was appalled at the state of the local roads, all roads. The recent frosts have wrought havoc, due to the appalling level of maintenance.

For those people in the UK who have an interest in road safety, please sign this petition petition.parliament.uk/petitions/70... It is ridiculous that some drivers are allowed to continue driving with 20, 30 or more points on their licence.

If that disgusting racist and grifting liar Nigel Farage shouldn't have been on Question Time even once, nevermind 38 times. Give this a Like, or better yet a RP.

Only 4years for causing death by dangerous driving. No insurance or licence. It is time that our legal system took road violence seriously. This was not an 'accident'. It was the result of Dangerous driving and a total lack of consideration for others.

Bluesky is surely the best and only place to repost #cryptic crossword collection competitions!
