Leisure can fill the hole that consumption left if we provide time & facilities to enable it What we discovered during & post Covid is that we dont have provision. We have millions of shops but not enough pools. Millions of miles of road but not enough accessible trails

@NealOKelly @LDNcabbieTXE

@DangleSpanners @LDNcabbieTXE If I had braked suddenly to avoid a hazard I could not reasonably have been expected to have anticipated, then I would probably be quite understanding of your mistake.

Cyclist pulls out of side street wrong way into oncoming traffic, causes a collision and cycles off…

@Timpani74 @LDNcabbieTXE The filming vehicle light turns green & a load of vehicles come across from their right. How is that possible unless they were in the box junction? Whether they were in their legitimately is another question we can't answer from this short film

@DangleSpanners @LDNcabbieTXE Why would they be stuck? There is no vehicles ahead of them and the lights for the filming vehicle are obviously red or they would not be stopped

@NealOKelly @LDNcabbieTXE Because both black vehicles are driven by bad drivers If I drive into the back of you whos fault is it?

@DangleSpanners @LDNcabbieTXE So how is it 'auto bias' to note that his/her unexpected and illegal actions at the very least made a significant contribution to causing the collision?!?!

@Timpani74 @LDNcabbieTXE Yeah right We all know they got stuck in the yellow box...hence why they are having to filter into the traffic stream who have right of way on a green light

@DangleSpanners @LDNcabbieTXE You don’t drive do you? They are making a perfectly legitimate right turn and nobody stops in the opposite carriageway yellow box, the keep clear is not contravened either until the accident and even then they both move to one side and park to exchange details

@FestAKINBUSOYE @visitcamberwell Did you deliberately ignore the word Lobby?

@DangleSpanners @visitcamberwell By all means, diss Tories all you like, and even the Telegraph perhaps for doing their job as journalists, but describing black cabs (and drivers} as "toxic" is kinda low mate.

How on earth can anyone argue that LTNs do not cause more damage to the environment when we see vehicles taking longer routes and time to reach a given destination? LTNs do not make cars disappear, they just displace them to non-LTN roads, causing more congestion and air pollution. 😞

@NealOKelly @LDNcabbieTXE Yep no one is disputing that

@DangleSpanners @LDNcabbieTXE He came the wrong way out of a one way street, FFS.

@Timpani74 @LDNcabbieTXE How have they come from here without contraveneing the road marking?

@DangleSpanners @LDNcabbieTXE Cab and bike at black x Cause: lime bike at red x that goes into bus lane from wrong way of one way street The two cars that collide while the first avoids the lime bike at blue x’s They have both come from the green x what part is not clear?

@Craigdiablo @Telegraph Should have made the fat one walk

@Telegraph White privileged women doing pointless things

🚖 Black cab drivers say road restrictions, LTNs and 20mph limits are turning London into an impossible place to work, with some quitting the trade altogether So what is currently the fastest means to get around in the capital, walking or taking a taxi? We've put this to the test, and unpacked all the reasons the taxi drivers might be struggling here ⤵️ telegraph.co.uk/news/2026/03/2…

@Timpani74 @LDNcabbieTXE Defo says Keep Clear on the road

@DangleSpanners @LDNcabbieTXE From old Marylebone road 90ft to the right they are both doing the appropriate speed of 20mph or slightly less and have to go 70ft past the stop line to enter the frame so the light will have changed to red around 7-8 seconds after they crossed the line, nice try but irrelevant

@Timpani74 @LDNcabbieTXE And if it had been a pedestrian? Or a dog? If you drive into the back of something who's fault is it?

@DangleSpanners @LDNcabbieTXE If the cyclist had been a car then they would have been equally 100% responsible for the chain of events they created, but it wasn’t it was a line bike being ridden illegally

@Timpani74 @LDNcabbieTXE If the lights are green 4 the bike & car filming where is the van car on the right coming from?

@DangleSpanners @LDNcabbieTXE Actually I double checked, cosway street is one way! The female cyclist on the lime bike rides the wrong way out of a one way street, into the path of the vehicles turning

@Timpani74 @LDNcabbieTXE So if I drive into the back of your cab its not my fault Tim?

@DangleSpanners @LDNcabbieTXE The cyclist who jumped the red light and turned left into the path of the vehicles turning right from the right of frame caused this, how is anyone else other than that cyclist responsible for the people carrier braking to avoid them?

@Priest_of_Ramen @LDNcabbieTXE Both drivers coming from the right were sitting in keep clear area trying to slip in as they'd got stuck after going through regained or amber lights

@DangleSpanners @LDNcabbieTXE Not the cyclist in front, the cyclist to the left. I was confused initially too.

@Mrs_Tek @LDNcabbieTXE See that keep clear written on the road? Drivers were trying to squeeze in as they got caught between lights

@DangleSpanners @LDNcabbieTXE You ain’t seeing that clearly, the cyclist pulls out right in front of the driver 🤷‍♀️

@Equilan @but_cyclists Yes im agreeing with you

@DangleSpanners @but_cyclists I ride a bike, I'd pull over too. It's the car driver I was saying is a prat not the bike riders. They did the right thing all the way. The problem with some of these drivers is they want to ride faster than the bike...it diminishes their "manhood" if they can't.

A motorist encounters a group of cyclists

@UnionJackOilplc @KathrynPorter26 @DaleVince @KemiBadenoch Exactly! Hence why burn the stuff Glad to see you supporting renewables

Wouldn't it be fantastic if all our power needs were provided by wind and solar and not oil or gas. What you seem to be missing is that wind turbines require approximately 80-120 gallons EACH per annum. To date, there are 12000 wind turbines operating in the UK. We need fuel for cars, shipping, aviation, petrochemicals (plastics, fertilizers), manufacturing (machinery lubricants), construction (asphalt), and energy production. Oil serves as a primary raw material for pharmaceuticals, synthetic textiles, and daily consumer goods. It's absolutely ridiculous for anyone to to believe the world can exist without fossil fuels, ever! 

.@KemiBadenoch displays her total lack of understanding of the energy sector. She argues for more drilling in the North Sea to protect us from this energy crisis - seemingly oblivious to two very important facts. The first is we don't set the price of our north sea oil and gas - we let global markets do that. So in a crisis where global prices sky rocket, how can the answer can be to produce more globally priced oil here - it’s (energy market) illiterate to say so. The answer is to take control of our own energy pricing, starting with our own North Sea, as we have already with retail energy bills. Impose a price and profit cap. If we do this as part of an entire sector move - capping all wholesale prices, then we can combat this crisis and those that are coming next. The second very important fact Kemi seems unaware of is that it will take up to five years to produce anything new from our North Sea. So even if that could help us, it can’t help us with anything soon. And it won’t help us for long because our North Sea is all but empty, there’s 10% left. Our North Sea has been in decline for 30 years, shedding jobs and production capacity - because it’s running out - this has been going on for far longer than green energy has been a thing - to blame green energy for the decline of the North Sea is ignorant (of the facts). And Global markets have been filling the gap between what we make and what we use for decades now - Kemi seems not to know this either. As for energy bills, Badenoch seems unaware that the ‘green taxes’ we have on our energy bills were added by previous Tory governments. She seems also unaware that we spend vast sums subsiding fossils fuels - £17 billion a year at the last count. She operates in a fantasy environment, or would have us do - where green taxes have ruined the country and our oil and gas industry and all we need to do is drill more - it’s delusional. It’s straight out of the mouth of Trump.

@the500mphtorto1 @peterrhague Euro elections were the lowest of low hanging fruit - & UKIPs win was only played up by some Turn outs were tiny

@DangleSpanners @peterrhague I dunno, ukip had done pretty well in the european elections earlier and it wasnt exactly a blow out. Wouldnt take much for a loss or coalition

I’ve see people suggest Kier Starmer is a worse PM than Boris Johnson. Not even slightly. Starmer is just mediocre, a deer caught in the headlights of multiple crises. Johnson was actively malevolent. He tore apart the social fabric of this country in order to depress your wages.

@Equilan @but_cyclists They pull over cos they know they have a psycho behind them. That road is full of feral goats & sheep aswell as walkers & other leisure users You'd be mad to ride or drive down there fast

@but_cyclists So he's whinging and then at the end he cuts it as the cyclists move over to let him pass.
