@LukeEdwardsTele Oh, come on! Get a grip! Try to establish some sense of proportion. This confected outrage and anger is truly unseemly. You are really much more useful and interesting when you stick to football. Although, there also, I do occasionally have my doubts.

They are lying to you after Boris lied to you and lied again. They are making a mockery of our political system; this is moving desperately close to an elected dictatorship. We must vote them out, every MP who is trying to help Boris cling to power

"overcrowding, not population density alone, presents a risk for COVID-19 transmission" New evidence from Rwanda. Interesting policy implication in potentially weighting COVID-19 testing and mitigation measures, (and eventually vaccination, towards the most overcrowded areas..
International Growth Centre@The_IGC

@Stephencgill You are most welcome. It is a truly beautiful 'thing'. It is astonishing to think about all the human drama, the large and the little lives, that that tree has 'witnessed' or, at least, stood beside and been within.

Mayor of Bogotá, @ClaudiaLopez, is pushing forward a bold proposal to improve car-free mobility by expanding bike lanes. The ultimate goal? Have 50% of total trips made on bikes or other micromobility alternatives. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
