This is a stunning failure by the UK’s
public funders to continue to
support NCRI. No more joint planning, no more clinical study groups, etc. Following the demise of England cancer plan this is yet another colossal strategic failure @AggarwalOnc @WHO @UKIGlobalCancer

#duolingoupdate Does Duolingo ever consult its customers - or are they too busy playing. First they got rid of discussions (where real learning happened) and now they have turned it into a a kid's game. Did Elon Musk buy it when we weren't looking?

@BerthaDarteh Do you also Dordle, Bertha?

@ChrisShipton @ReconnectingOx @OxfordshireCC The threat of closure is deeply felt and personal: my local corner store where I have shopped for four decades. It employs several people and serves a local & wider community, some of whom can no longer easily reach it. Your comment is crass and callous.

@bookllyfr @Dashman35 @DestinationDeg1 Owen, you said you could not see them, not that could not comprehend them. That was not true was it? Twitter is no place to explain complexity - although it's fine for 'lets just shut the roads' LTNs. For a grown up discussion we need another forum. An apology would be welcome.

Stuart Silvester explains why Low Traffic Neighbourhood barriers are the final straw which will close this much loved shop. See the full 3 min 45 sec interview at One St Mary’s https://t.co/D2EvwJkigX #LTNs #Onestmarys #EastOxford

@bookllyfr @Dashman35 @DestinationDeg1 Don't expect you to agree with them but please don't pretend there are not other proposals out there that could unite our communities.

[Peter McIntyre @Truewords]

@bookllyfr @Dashman35 @DestinationDeg1 So sorry Owen you could not find the Slow Traffic Neighbourhood proposal councillors refused to discuss, or a version of the South Fulham scheme or John's proposal to limit right of students to bring cars into Oxford. Car use based on need not dogma.

Priority Postbox sealed shut "due to LTN disruption" on local roads in East Oxford. Council policies fail to deliver! #LTN #Onestmarys #Oxford

We know LTNs create longer car journeys outside the area, but what about inside an LTN? In 3 real life East Oxford examples carbon emissions rise by a fifth at best and treble at worst. OxfordshireCC policies are polluting not green! #onestmarys #carbon https://t.co/78h7gKmP4w

Everyone in East Oxford should see this before next Thursday. #EastOxford #onestmarys

[Jericho Connected @JerichoConnect]

There have been a lot of videos made by people opposing the LTNs etc, but this must be one of the absolute best. We can definitely diagnose some of Oxford's Labour and LibDem councillors with Hubris Syndrome!

For safer streets enforce speed limits and slow traffic neighbourhoods. No #LTN road barriers needed. See John Skinner’s pitch at #onestmarys #oxford https://t.co/Rjm4NuOIUr

[Peter McIntyre @Truewords]

@Charlie_Hicks_ So we have reached policy making by emoji. Can our politics get any lower?

[Peter McIntyre @Truewords]

@ReconnectingOx @CowleyLtn @michele_paule @neilfawcett @duncanenright Tim Bearder sits on THREE different councils (Oxfordshire, South Oxfordshire, Eastleigh Hampshire). So why has he registered for Oxford City election in St Mary’s where he neither serves nor lives? Feels shabby & manipulative. #LTNs #Onestmarys #timbearder #Oxfordcityelection

[Peter McIntyre @Truewords]

Parchments Print leaving East Oxford after 40 years “due to the LTNs and restricted parking”. I used to cycle to pick up my order. Now someone wil drive 10 miles to deliver. LTNs – adding pollution & literally driving businesses out of town. #onestmarys #ltns #reconnectingoxford

[stmarysltns@onestmarys @onestmarys]

The LTN planned for St Mary’s will channel delivery lorries past a nursery school. Some side streets may find they have more traffic not less. If you don’t properly consult, the law of unintended consequences will come back to bite you

@AndrewGant3 Lib Dems not standing in our ward - but somehow your man Tim Bearder who has (count them) three council seats and who does not live here has booked himself a postal vote in St Mary's Ward Oxford. Lib Dem dirty tricks would you say?

[Peter McIntyre @Truewords]

Sometimes we have to learn to share roads and behave nicely with each other. #oxfordltns #onestmarys @onestmarys

@BerthaDarteh Nice!
