This was 8 years ago. Back when we taught our children to befriend those who were different to us, not shout at them in the street to "go home".

@astartesM_41 @desnzenthusiast You can in Wetherspoons.

@desnzenthusiast i just hate that its impossible to get a pint of decent beer under a fiver in london, so i'd much rather stay in manchester lol, has all the benefits of london, just without the stupid high prices for everything

Anyone in the UK who hates London is a fake patriot and I stand by that fact

@anon_opin I think its crazy how long bicycles took to be invented. I mean the Romans had central heating systems but no bicycles? Crazy.

It took entirely too long for humanity to realize suitcases need wheels.

I wish Google Voice was built into Google Chat so I only need one app in @GoogleWorkspace for calls/videos.

@IOTFinancial @RayMairead What they *can* do and what they *should* do out of common courtesy are two different things. I say that as a regular cyclist.

@RayMairead This is why education matters. Cyclists can legally ride two abreast and it's often safer to do so. Drivers must allow 1.5m+ clearance to overtake safely. Ignorance of the Highway Code goes both ways, but impatient passes can be death traps.

This is why they're hated.

@CasuallyGreg Appreciate you posting these really obvious AI posts so I can mute you and avoid seeing the ones that are not so obvious that I might fall for.

“Pay our employees, because we won’t.”

@francesca_kms Why have a dig at motorists at the start of the week? The cars are not impeding you. You are travelling perfectly fine. It seems unnecessary. Many of these motorists might be travelling further than a bike is able to take them, or have passengers who are unable to cycle.

When you see it, you can’t unsee it. No bus lane. 4 lanes for cars, 2 for parking, 2 for driving. Cars parked in the cycle lane. And some still blame bikes. Congestion costs London £3.85bn a year, yet we still prioritise parking over moving people.

@LateefSaka It's not a crime against students to promise something will happen if you win the election, then lose the election, and then have to compromise on the policies you want to bring to government to be the minor party in a coalition government.

Their crimes against students during the coalition government are still in my mind

@CrusadingOwl @Keir_Starmer @Olnotob @GordonBrown Exactly the opposite, we would have been in a lot worse situation without him.

That went well last time Brown had anything to do with finances. Only led to a global financial crisis and left the UK with a £150 billion black hole and years of austerity. And then he sold off UK gold for a pittance. also wasn’t his idea to sell the gold, he was copying other nations and that’s why gold prices were so low.

Today I’m pleased to appoint @GordonBrown as my Special Envoy on Global Finance and Cooperation. As Britain’s longest-serving Chancellor, Gordon is well placed to work with our international allies to build a stronger Britain and boost our country’s security and resilience.

@LizWebsterSBF Is there anyone that doesn't have their own show these days?

🚨 Cathy Newman: “We’ve had five Prime Ministers since Brexit. Has Brexit made Britain ungovernable?” Ian Hislop: “It looks like it.”

@JakinsDyla2576 @HypatiaLantern @ToryWipeout Rise above it. Don't sink to their level.

@HypatiaLantern @ToryWipeout Reform voters have consistently called people voting for Green retards btw

God what a desolate shithole.

@ChaponaBike123 Sorry, but I agree with the police, you were deliberately obstructive and could have just held back for a few seconds. The white car had no chance to see you.

Apparently this was "careless cycling" according to plod, and I got a letter through the post. It beggars belief sometimes. 🤷‍♂️

@NemoSalus It looks better but IS it better? I wonder how the people living in those flats feel about no longer having anywhere to park. I think it could have been done without such huge pedestrianisation.

So many enshittified places in England could be rescued like this. It’s just a new facade and some basic street lovelification.

@wearetrackradio @FrankWarren @VassosA @CDaly15 Can we have more modern music? Its like listening to Greatest Hits radio.

We have a big guest coming up on breakfast - @FrankWarren is coming on to chat with @VassosA and @CDaly15 - he’ll be on from 9.30am! 🥊🙌

Why is it when Atlassian take something over does it become worse especially in terms of logging in. It happened with Trello. It's now the same with Loom.

@tonyphatt @FFS_WhatNow The director to worker pay ratio is the highest its every been. The evidence suggests that businesses cannot survive workers pay increases but when it comes to executive pay it never seems to be the same story.

@jontechilovsky @FFS_WhatNow I'm pretty left wing, but things aren't that simple. People invest in businesses to make money. The performance of private businesses directly affects people's pensions. If businesses fail because their costs are too high, jobs are lost.

Now, engage your brain. What do you think will happen to the price of a pint when all the bar staff wages are increased to £15ph? You can't be THIS stupid, surely?

I think pubs are probably not the best example to use to model the possible impact of a minimum wage increase since they are an industry mainly affected by a lack of disposable income, young people drinking less, and very small business structures - often run as lifestyle businesses. I would also add that pubs are less inclined to be creative and experimental in growing new audiences, rewarding repeat business, and tend to be set in their ways. For example I have no idea why pubs in London stop selling coffees after 5pm when there is a mass market of young people (and older people) who love drinking coffees & matchas and all the coffee shops close at 6pm. It seems a very obvious growth area, one that businesses such as Knoops have jumped into, and places like Wetherspoons have addressed.

@jontechilovsky @FFS_WhatNow The ‘managers and directors’ of my local pub work all hours and probably barely earn minimum wage themselves.

@recarnateXD @FFS_WhatNow A diagram to help you see the correlation.

@jontechilovsky @FFS_WhatNow Are you slow?... Where's the correlation?

@timothy_stanley I think the real problem is that the left has strayed too much into identity politics and lost their focus on inequality, and the right have strayed away from small c conservatism & family values into populism & immigration, and both streams have abandoned a large % of voters.

Today we discussed a focus group on the Daily T and it concluded that voters are right-wing culturally, left-wing economically. As they have been since I can remember. Yet we head into another election with no one having the sense to offer just that. Such a strange country.

@CamdenLabour Does anyone know what the definition of "affordable" homes is? And does it essentially mean more leasehold flats that nobody wants?

It was great to welcome Prime Minister and local MP Sir Keir Starmer to hear about how Labour are delivering for Camden.
