The A303 Stonehenge tunnel has been scrapped after years of planning. £180 million. Gone. Not a single mile built. Not a single benefit delivered. Just taxpayer money burned. Who is actually held accountable for this?

Too many are too polite to say this. But mass ritual prayer in public places is an act of domination. The adhan - which declares there is no god but allah and Muhammad is his messenger - is, when called in a public place, a declaration of domination. Perform these rituals in mosques if you wish. But they are not welcome in our public places and shared institutions. And given their explicit repudiation of Christianity they certainly do not belong in our churches and cathedrals. I am not suggesting everybody at Trafalgar Square last night is an Islamist. But the domination of public places is straight from the Islamist playbook. Trafalgar Square belongs to all of us. It is a national memorial to our independence and our salvation. Last night was not like a televised football match or a St Patrick’s Day celebration. It was an act of domination and therefore division. It shouldn’t happen again.

I'm pleased to say the WASPI women have launched a fresh legal challenge against the government. Remember the Ombudsman said the women should be compensated and many Labour MPs, including Keir Starmer, agreed, before 2024, when they were elected.

Sadiq Khan continues to push ahead with Oxford Street pedestrianisation, and continues to ignore the views of local residents…

Just walked through London for only 15 minutes and saw all this - Recently voted best city in the world for the 11th year in a row - Serious crime rates the lowest its been since 2014 Don't listen to media outlets who make money by being miserable fuckers and dividing us x

Had a look at the Zoo tickets out of curiosity, more than 4 times more expensive to go if you aren’t on universal credit. Not sure who decided the unemployed should be subsidised to spend their time looking at lions rather than getting a job.

I think this is now wrong. North English Cities are now just as dense as their European equivalents like Amsterdam, Hamburg, Copenhagen, etc... with extremely strong economies. There are some different patterns within that density I admit, but I don't think it matters much.
