@LeviathanIntel @RupertLowe10 Looks like it's up on the pavement, so they'd either get stuck behind a 5mph granny or get taken out by someone with airpods in stepping out with no warning. Assuming it doesn't just have lampposts in the middle of it. I cycle and tbh most cycle lanes aren't fit for purpose

£500k on a cycle lane that has ruined a perfectly good road in my constituency. Well done, central planners.

@K__Med Even if it's the game of the year I'm not interested. Don't have a console & Sony backed away from releasing on PC even after an exclusivity window. I'm not going to buy a console to play the exclusives, I can't be bothered with dodgy business practices & have enough of a backlog

The "significant backlash" that Saros is getting (we'll see if it's actually significant when we get sales numbers) is making me think. A lot of the anti-woke crowd doesn’t actually hate politics in games. They hate not being the default anymore. For years games catered almost entirely to guys, so a certain slice of players got used to every protagonist looking like them and every story orbiting their comfort zone. Now when a game shifts even a little away from that, they act like the medium has been taken over instead of just growing. What they want is sameness dressed up as purity. They want every game to feel like the ones they grew up with, so they never have to think about who else plays games. It is not about loving games as an art form. It is about wanting the industry to freeze in place, so they never lose their spot at the center. This doesn't go for EVERYONE that might align with that crowd though. There are some valid arguments to be made about shoving stupid shit into games just for representation, but I think most of these dudes are too dumb to think that deep.

@EkunweL The speed limit was set in the days of drum brakes and no ABS. Whereas we have years of data from the continent that 130kph (80.78mph) is a perfectly acceptable speed limit with improved brakes & safety systems in cars now. So it is an old fashioned & arbitrarily chosen limit. 🤷‍♂️

This guy is the funniest MP in the UK right now. One day he is on Twitter saying he will increase the speed limits on the UK highway from 70mph to 80mph because 70 is apparently woke and old fashioned. Another day he is talking about banning Halal and Kosher slaughter.
Rupert Lowe MP@RupertLowe10

A Restore Britain Government will ban halal slaughter, and a Restore Britain Government will ban kosher slaughter. Day one, these religious exemptions end.

@PolitlcsUK This is the kind of nonsense I'd expect Ed Davey to be getting up to. Though boxing is probably not "suburban upper middle" enough for him. 🤔

🔥 BREAKING 🔥 The Ancient ‘Enchanted Forest’ famously associated with the Germanic Fairytales & stories; Hansel and Gretel, Snow White, Little Red Riding Hood & Sleeping Beauty will be bulldozed for solar panels by the Greens. The project involves clearing trees to build access roads and infrastructure for 18 large wind turbines, a project led by state officials including those from the Green Party. Destroying beautiful Ancient forests which increases the local temperature to save the environment & stop global warming 🤦🏼‍♀️ They will destroy everything meaningful to our people.

@WdgScotland @RestoreBritain_ That sounds like "leaving exceptions only for those in genuine need" instead of the "I could but I can't be bothered" and dodgy behaviour they're looking to clamp down on with such a policy

@BethRigby Of course they desperately want him to succeed, if he goes then an election is inevitable and they'll be out. If I'm on £95k a year plus expenses as a Labour MP I'd be desperate to cling onto that. Not like they'll ever make that again. It's a zombie parliament and they know it.

@Sargon_of_Akkad The way Starmer behaves I bet it was "back me or you're fired and out the party". Mahmood's quote about making the most of every second of a Labour government is chilling to say the least though.

@Not__So_Obvious Sounds like he's pointing out the criminal empires to me, Range Rovers are stolen a lot and get shipped overseas (i.e. the loading comment) phone thieves need to unlock them and the barber shops are laundering money. It took me a second but it's the Range Rover bit that sealed it

Jeremy Clarkson really defended the Barber Shop infestation. "Who will staff the vape shops that nobody uses?!" I hear him cry. I like Clarkson a lot, but he can be dense sometimes. The rest of his article is quite salient, though it doesn't attack the torification of Reform.

I am aware that in UK law she cannot be classed as a rapist, nor the crime "rape" because rape is defined by penetration by the perpetuator. I was taught this in school, and I said it was stupid then. Morally, I know what I'm looking at.

@Sargon_of_Akkad The "fall in legal migration" is net, nearly 900K in, nearly 700k out. It's a swing of 1.6 million distinct individuals, you can't rotate that much of the population each year and expect the national culture to be stable. Net 200k as 300k in 100k out is completely different.

@RupertLowe10 It's a win, but it's only the battle, not the war on digital ID. They said it won't be mandatory, not that it won't exist at all. Once the celebrations are over we need to push on, the government will keep building out the tech and infrastructure until a convenient excuse arises.

@RupertLowe10 I would say though that whatever is done should either be tied to the process of returning, or also applies to Brits who've stuck it out. Loyalty shouldn't be punished with reverting back from disloyalty rewarded.

In conjunction with any mass deportation policy, we need a scheme to encourage those skilled Brits who have fled the UK to return. Over the past decade, hundreds of thousands of skilled British workers have moved abroad. A brutal brain drain. We have replaced many of our best, with low-skilled migrants from the third world. It is not a good deal. We need to remove those foreign nationals who are a drain on our society, and encourage Brits who have so much to offer to return. Engineers, doctors, teachers, plumbers, entrepreneurs, nurses, scientists, and young families have taken their abilities to countries where they feel more valued, less taxed, and better governed. I want to bring those British families home. How? - A targeted tax incentive for skilled Brits returning after years abroad - make returning financially attractive compared with staying in high-income, low-tax countries like Dubai. - Temporary stamp duty relief for returning Brits purchasing a primary residence. Important. - Automatic recognition of medical, teaching, engineering, and other key professional qualifications earned abroad from select high standard countries. Cut back the endless paperwork. - Ease spouse visa requirements so British men and women can bring their spouse in without the usual bureaucracy. - A one-off government payment for skilled British returnees entering shortage industries? Would pay for itself, over and over and over. - Fast-track NHS reinstatement for British medical workers. None of the usual paperwork delays. Just get on with it. Get them in hospitals, working. - Fast track business incorporation pathway with tax discounts if employing numerous British staff. Obviously all of this would be done alongside a wider programme of national restoration, which would mean that these people actually see a Britain worth returning to. Let's deport millions of illegals and unproductive legal migrants, and replace them with high skilled Brits who have fled the UK. Bring them home.

@RupertLowe10 What's most galling is it's in the name of "efficiency" & the backlog. Why is there a backlog? How many cases are repeat offenders? If we stopped early release, deported foreign criminals and brought back the death penalty for serious crimes, how fast would the backlog clear?

@Sargon_of_Akkad In true Blairist style, 20% efficiency gains and backlogs are cited as the reason behind this. I wonder how many of the backlog are repeat offenders, and how many should have still been serving their sentence but were released early? Funny how this wasn't an issue pre-1997

@Sargon_of_Akkad Can you be working class if you don't work? It's not capitalist realism either, I doubt uncontacted tribes would feed someone who doesn't contribute at all to the tribe and has never contributed.
