Cycling, cricket, football, some politics and some robotics. All opinions worthless.

You call Glastonbury “Glasto”
You’d like to go there one day
When they’ve put up the gun towers
To keep the hippies away
December sees Kitzbuehel
Clad in Lowe Alpine
Your children are painfully soulless
Ralph’s in Brize Norton

If Jeff Bezos can spend that much on a wedding, he can afford to pay his taxes and his workers.

[Liz Webster @LizWebsterSBF]

Why would @Keir_Starmer force us to eat chlorinated chicken and hormone fed beef when 80%+ of Britons are opposed to it?

British public is rightly appalled by chlorinated chicken!

A US trade deal would be devastating for British farming, food security, public health, animal welfare, and the environment.

Why would we want to lose food security and rely on Trump to feed us?

Elon Musk reposts image of ‘Birmingham hospital’ but it’s actually a Batman scene

It's almost like he doesn't care about the truth or fact-checking...

@EDI_Airport were you not expecting any inbound aircraft?

[Andrew Mawby @AndyMawby]

@EDI_Airport this is a total farce on arrival.

20mph speed limit “single most significant change we’ve ever seen,” says Cycling UK as data reveals 100 fewer people killed or seriously injured on Welsh roads since change – but Conservatives slam “confusion and frustration for drivers”

By 2029, in England, almost 1 in 3 children will still be in poverty.

But this isn't inevitable; targeted social security policies can make a difference 📢

@100Climbs I wonder if they overpaid for some of the rights (football?) and this is a desperate move to help pay for it. If so, I think it will backfire as they will lose even more of the subscribers. If I wanted football, I would have subscribed already!

A new @Oxfam study estimates that 54% of billionaire wealth is either inherited or stems from monopoly power.

Trump wants to eliminate estate taxes on wealthy heirs and his FTC Chair has pledged to "end the war on mergers."

It's clear who Trump really serves.

[Parody Nigel Farage @Parody_PM]

Trump fires 17 inspectors whose job is to investigate waste, fraud and abuse of power in government.
They will be relaced by people trained to root out any sign of honesty, efficiency or democracy.

The elite descends on Davos for the World Economic Forum with lots to celebrate.

Billionaire wealth grew 3 times faster in 2024 than year before. The super-rich have never had it so good but the working class gets poorer.

In case it’s not obvious, these two things are connected
