I’ve said before how far lots of people in small town Wales travel for work. Lots of people do shifts too. What exactly are the “active travel” alternatives? Surely the best solution for them is to use electric cars. But we just assume they all live in houses with drive ways, do we?

This is- for God’s sake- underground cabling, not some sort of utopian step into the dark. Amazed we even managed to put phone lines in with this attitude.

There's a Guardian BTLer who regularly boasts of his 'carbon-free' lifestyle and feels others should be forced to do the same; but it's very obvious he lives in a large city where he can easily achieve this.

Because Starmer.

No doubt if the gulleys had lift-up covers to put the cable in and protect it, some twat would leave them up though.

I know the one you mean, and quite like him. He lives and works in Oxford. I think his point is that a lot of people BTL could do like him, rather than that it's easy for everyone.

He's an assho apparently.

Twice over, just to make sure you know who they're talking about

Genocidal maniac latest.

Yes but he hasn't attended a demo in London.

It's getting plain weird that an eminent barrister can forget who the jury are.




And why didn't he daub a red cross on that off-centre, wonky fuzzy felt logo?

Mmmm... fake?

It's photoshopped.

Possibly, but The National have credited the image to the PA and would be trashing layer upon layer of credibility. Surely, even they wouldn't be that stu ... oh ...

Correction, the photo is probably genuine, but it was taken at a reception for St George's Day.



If I were a newspaper* that supported Scottish independence**, I'd think twice about lecturing politicians on wrapping themselves in flags.

* YMMV on this

** Their owners are registered in Delaware, USA.

So that National thing is basically "The Prime Minister has the national flag up in his official residence, and put up some other flags appropriate to the football when that was on?"

Fanbois: be still thy tremulous heels. We lefties will hold our noses and vote Labour, at least until the Greens* regulate their Ritalin dosing.

*I can now be electorally resident in Brighton, since my kid bought a house there last month.

I've got to vote Green here.

Jeeesuss, There is no immigration crisis rather an organisational challenge created by the FUCKING TORIES.

There is, however, a racism crisis which has basked in a record-breaking summer of favourable weather and political negligence. The next Jo Cox is just a matter of time.
