@lucasaganronald Time for @UCI_cycling to ban drinking in races (joke)

[Paul Powlesland @paulpowlesland]

I recently got stopped & ticketed by the City of London Police for, & I kid you not, “cycling no handed”. Even though it’s clearly not an offence, the officer said they were ticketing me under the Human Rights Act as I was infringing other people’s Article 2 ‘Right to Life’, in case I fell off & injured them: utterly bonkers stuff.

With bicycle theft basically legalised in the City due to the complete failure of the Police to bother investigating such thefts & people being regularly terrorised in London by e-bike phone muggers, it’s good to see the City of London Police concentrating the resources on what really matters.

The Government’s response to Donald Trump’s actions is not good enough.

The UK Government should hold him to account for his actions and stand up for international law, not tacitly condone the attack. https://t.co/3OCyiuphRt

DON’T CALL THEM NAZIS, THEY’RE CONCERNED LOCALS!

Even though this guy was at #Epping today - from SOUTH LONDON, not Epping; and he’s an old Combat 18 and BNP member.

But those are both just book clubs, right?

@LeShuttle_Help Shame the incompetence issues couldn’t be resolved too - 5 hours after we were supposed to leave and we’re only just heading to the train after being stuck in a gridlocked car park for nearly 2 hours while staff did little to manage traffic or queue-jumpers. Pathetic. @BBCNews

@lostlibertine @dnelissen @BenjiNaesen @_connorfrench @FPL_Krona It’s the same deal, they’ve just announced it. The UK isn’t one of the countries that will benefit from the free-to-air agreement, goodbye ITV.

@modernheroestv I would walk it

@LeShuttle_Help Very unimpressed with the total lack of information about why we’re waiting hours to board. Vague promises we’ll be boarding soon, swiftly followed by announcements about further delays.

This is a story about how a reported antisemitism row involving comedian @reginalddhunter unfolded. If you've only read mainstream media you'll have a partial view. The story unravelled on social media and we now have much-needed context. It began with this in The Telegraph

@badvertising11 What’s the connection between Toyota, BMW and Volvo with the tour? They don’t seem to be official partners, do they sponsor teams?

[Andy W-S ©️ @contrabland]

@but_cyclists You know who that was? Ronnie Pickering.

Rumour has it, the character leading Nigel Farage away is George Cottrell, an interesting chap, who may give some insight into Farage's 'anti-elite' Reform UK team.

(Btw, I don't agree with chucking drinks over anyone).

So who is George Cottrell?

[CykelTony @tony_eh]

In light of the recent announcement from @shappsGrant regarding the introduction of a new law to deal with ‘killer cyclists’, and very much picking up from the thread done by @ormonroyd, I’ve had a little look on sentencing for killer drivers over the last year or so.

It is pretty hard to post this - I have not done so before although I kept it. But it needs to be posted because Susan Hall is the ⁦@Conservatives⁩ candidate for Mayor of London and people need to know what she is.

@peterwalker99 @stuartj0hnson It’s definitely cyclists stoking the flames of the road culture war though. Not <checks notes>… Telegraph journalists writing about it 🤦🏻

@easyJet @Laura_Loo812 @easyJet That’s not how expiry dates work, I had the same issue trying to book flights yesterday as you told us they expire ‘on’ the 31st, not before then. I’ve submitted a complaint via your website as this is unfair and totally unacceptable. @MoneySavingExp
