Paul Campbell who runs @OpenChiswickW4 has been putting up this chart as a 'got you' to those who argue that LTNs and cycle lanes contribute to slow bus speeds. He argues that since the reduction in bus speeds over the last decade was least in Camden and the City of London, both of which have LTNs and cycle lanes, they are not a cause of slower bus speeds. A minute with AI shows the fallacy of his argument. 10 years ago bus speeds were slowest in, wait for it...City of London and Camden. In other words, they could hardly get any slower. What Campbell actually wrote - and apologies for his language - was "This is why it’s impossible to converse with you fucking morons. You are incapable of understanding the most basic logic. YOU argue LTNs and cycle lanes decrease bus speeds. The facts destroy YOUR argument you thick twats."

@British_Airways can accept an hour delay taking off tonight back from Faro. But landing Heathrow at 23:38, waiting 30 mins for a stand and now waiting for ground crew so we can actually get off is pathetic.

@British_Airways So having waited 14 mins already at the jetty just been told now a 25 to 30 min wait for someone to come and connect the jetty. Clueless Fred Carno outfit.

@British_Airways 6 days 23 hours and 59 minutes before the flight and no decent seat available for bronze. Waste of time any level with you now. Proves my 24 Faro flights in 3 months with EJ was the right decision and you had half empty planes the couple of times I went with you.

Not true. A recent flight I had limited seat selection on then was half full and 4 rows around me empty but at point of choosing my seat they were full. 2 of your own pilots sat in those rows and I even heard them say “these weren’t available on the app”!! Just tell the truth!

@British_Airways the silence is deafening. As an additional question do you set up a load of bot accounts to try and muddy the waters of any post like mine given what I’m experiencing!

What a rip off you are @WeAreMarmalade taking our money for a year of pay per mile for our daughter then withdraw the product just before the summer university holidays starts. Almost scam like.

A gentle walk inside this LTN as roads sacrificed outside it are choking me. It’s amazing how many people were walking,cycling and playing on these streets 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩 It was worth increasing harm pushed upon children like mine forever for the comfort and pleasure of LTN residents…. Trust your eyes …. Not the lies

Scene at LBC this morning [Exec's Office]: {Knock at the door] Exec: "Enter." O:B: "Good morning, Sir, you wanted to see me?" Exec: "And you are?" O'B: "O'Brien, Sir, James O'Brien." Exec: "Ah, yes, Brien. Come in. Don't sit down." O'B: "Um, OK, Sir" Exec: "We've had a torrent of complaints about you." O'B: "Oh." Exec: "You did 90 minutes on the Trans stuff yesterday" O'B: "Yes, Sir, I managed to dismiss the findings of that Cass review and keep everyone on side." Exec: "You idiot." O'B: "What?" Exec: "Everyone can see what the Cass Review exposed, countless kids mutilated, lives ruined, even Shelagh Flaherty got it right." O'B: "But I have to keep everyone happy" Exec: "Why?" O'B: "Um...listener demographics?" Exec: "You've brought the station into disrepute, have you forgotten that Carl Beech debacle?" O'B: "No, Sir, Sorry Sir."

A coal-fired power plant in China's Dai city. China emits more CO2 every year than the rest of the developed world combined—completely cancelling out all the sacrifices you are being forced to make in the farcical pursuit of Net Zero.

It’s was an amazing turnout in the East Bowes Ward community meeting yesterday evening. Invited Cllr,MP and @JourneysPlaces who either declined or did not reply. The venue was full with residents even during holiday season and heavy rain outside. Thank you to all that attended

MIC DROP: Peter Hitchens unapologetically exposes the ludicrous nature of Net Zero, to the horror of BBC Question Time panellists and audience members. "We didn't just close down our coal fired power stations, we blew them up, we were so certain we were right to do so. At the same time, China is building the equivalent of two new coal fired power stations a week. India has a vast expansion programme of coal fired power stations." "The contribution which this country is making to these outcomes is not merely minimal, it's non-existent. Everything that we do is completely blotted out by what much larger countries are doing to maintain their own power." "If you want to live in a country where nobody can afford to heat their house... if you want lots of people to lose their jobs because there's no energy, if you want to be cold all the time... then carry on believing that the demand to go for Net Zero is intelligent and thoughtful."

This looks like a juicy kebab. It smells like a juicy kebab. It also tastes like a juicy kebab. But ……….. Independent research from data and analysis by @RachelAldred and presentation from @willnorman tell us it’s a Cabbage. If you disagree you are a conspiracy theorist 🤷‍♂️ – at Tottenham, London

"If you want to end it, then quit using it." Senator Markwayne Mullin utterly demolishes smug eco-zealot's ill-informed crusade against plastics, in one of the most epic, one-sided verbal beatdowns yet witnessed. "You can choose to not use plastic... If you believe it, then live it that way."
