  There are some great examples of cycle lane design out there. And some atrocious examples of cycle lanes that have been built. But that’s a separate rant.

  If we had a quality cycle lane network, we could have adapted that to support “more than walking, less that driving” lanes without much issue.

  The earlier we invest in this new class of highway the cheaper and easier it will be.

  It’s almost as if we don’t all have to pick a team and support everything they do. This isn’t sports all, this is politics.

  I can support trans-rights, hate the Rwanda plan and like nuclear if i want to.

  Got a pair of rescue dogs … neither of whome can cope.

  The younger one is OK with the first couple of fireworks. But once they become more consistent he gets anxious. I think we can train through that though. We’ve only had him this year, so this is our first experience.

  The older girl. As soon as the first bang goes off she’s a shaking mess. Refuses treats and training just causes her more anxiety. She will completely ignore loud bangs on the TV, so that training method on other days doesn’t help.

  The job of every guard is to look out for threats.

  And this “threat” has already had an exception written into the Security staffing standards. So, despite what that individual thinks, the item is not a security threat and the staff member is in the wrong.

  Apologies have been made, and training hopefully improved.

  Funny … I only know about the protest because she was there and arrested.

  Funny … you’re bothering to promote her acts by commenting on social media about it.

  Go sit in the corner rude boy.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Paramedics not sent to a third of 999 ambulance calls in parts of England⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  So one spokesperson who is paid to male the NHS look good in front of the media claims that “some” incidents were responded to by a doctor. That some could be just the one.

  Where there are multiple sources in the article claiming statistics of the number of incidents that do not have a paramedic on site, just EMTs.

  Yeah, not buying your “mountain out of a molehill” argument.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Chris Kaba: MoD offers military support after armed Met officers turn in weapons⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  One of the most worrying things here, to me.

  We have 100 highly trained police staff who do not trust our legal process to only prosecute the guilty.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Paramedics not sent to a third of 999 ambulance calls in parts of England⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  The article states that some of the calls not attended by paramedics may be attended by an EMT.

  So, the complete opposite of your comment.

  14… 78% spiritual purity. Thank God for that! I was worried I couldn’t go to heaven.
