The TransportUK R68 bus is idling at Kew trail park (it’s not allowed by LBRUT) but its driver isn’t letting waiting passengers in on it his bitterly cold evening.

Indeed -there’s no Dutch roundabout for cycles either, I really don’t see the point of removing car lanes. And it takes forever to cross by foot b/c long pedestrian crossing wait times.

Yes -he had no issue with Manor Circus works taking ONE YEAR before huge traffic jams obviously came, then wrote some letters to blame TfL. Still now, the roundabout looks like a sorry and ugly technocratic affair -no art, no greenery, nothing.

Totally. Ehmann is meek, all talk, no trousers. Every time he's challenged, his standard answers is 'not me, I've written a letter'.

In the lamest possible video Richmond Councillor Alexander Ehmann says absolutely nothing in why they haven’t been able to repair the collapsed Kew towpath since October > www.instagram.com/reel/DFxiUeL... #fail

The Kew Banksy is being removed -how sad.

The image is a detailed plan for improvements around East Putney Station, labelled as "Sheet 1 of 3." It represents a schematic layout focusing on Upper Richmond Road and its intersection with Oxford Road. The plan includes various enhancements for pedestrian access and vehicle control. Changes depicted include the removal of a parking bay outside 166 Upper Richmond Road, the widening of pavements to increase pedestrian space, and the addition of a new raised table to slow vehicles. A segment of the road is marked as a bus lane. The existing pedestrian crossing on Oxford Road will be widened, and a section of landscaping will be added for sustainable drainage. The schematic uses specific colours and symbols to represent elements such as existing pavement, new road markings, and landscaped areas. These are explained in a key at the bottom of the image. The orientation is indicated with a north arrow at the top right.

A la manœuvre, une agence de communication

Officiellement, l’agence dit travailler pour cette PME qui aurait donc les moyens de s’offrir les services d’un cabinet d’influence réputé. Mais l’un des grands clients de Lacroix n’est autre que Lactalis, même si son nom n’est pas cité dans le communiqué publié.

Pity Farage wasn’t asked about this - he should be forced to own it @bbclaurak.bsky.social @theneweuropean.bsky.social

Best take so far!

Don't repost this Jeff Bezos refused to publish it.

But we can make sure it spreads and everyone sees it.

Farage = Călin Georgescu.

Richard Tice in 2018 on George Soros' donation to UK political groups:

"He doesn't live here. He doesn't pay taxes here. What right has he got to interfere with our democracy?"

Richard Tice in 2024 ahead of Elon Musk's donation to Reform UK:

"If Mr Musk can legally donate... We'd be delighted."

there are no bigger idiots in Britain than farmers who *still* think that tax dodging Jeremy Clarkson and James Dyson and Brexit delivering Nigel Farage are on their side 🙄🚜

No fun speaking to yourself.

Notre Dame in Paris re-opens this wkd.
I'm a cathedral nerd. Here are some things that you might not notice about it – just from that one photo.

1. You can see straight down the nave to the apse. No medieval English cathedral has that.

An open letter to the BBC Dr Russell Jackson, senior lecturer in communication and public relations at Sheffield Hallam University, writes to the BBC about Question Time

With Farage back on Question Time last night...

...here is your reminder that Farage was on BBCQT a record-breaking 35 times before he became an MP.

And, further, that the panellist selection on BBCQT has been heavily slanted to right-wing think tanks and commentators over the years.

Brexit strikes French school trip, blocking them from UK A minor paperwork error left 100 French schoolchildren stranded, highlighting Brexit’s costly impact on UK tourism

French pupils denied entry to the UK by British officials due to a trivial post-Brexit form error. 🤦🏻‍♂️

Sad for those kids and so frustrating. Is this really what the UK voted for?
