@JoRigby_Balham @JamesMelville Looks like a funeral

If we were even remotely serious about climate change this would be considered a joke

@katebevan Oh no, not the Westminster think tank scene 😱

@katebevan How DARE you

Can’t remember which parties had ‘fuck all bus users’ as a manifesto commitment, but hats off to @BrightonHoveCC for delivering on it year after year

@AdamBronkhorst It strikes me that a lot of local politicians don't quite grasp the extremes to which some people in these kinds of groups will go- and will encourage each other to go. If you're a relatively normal person it can be hard to understand online radicalisation.

@crisortunity B&H Labour are extremely kneejerk anti-Green, even when the Green policy is something they previously supported. It's quite embarassing.

Thinking fondly of a few weeks back when my now-councillor tried to pick a fight with me on my own doorstep when I told her if Labour cllrs hadn't been so obstructionist about bike hangars maybe I wouldn't have had my bike stolen.

We’re announcing a new proposal today for seafront travel ⛱️
Councillor @BellaSankey has described it as a “win-win for pedestrians, cyclists and road users”

@katebevan "In secure bits of the private sector like banks, heads would roll until all legacy systems were patched or replaced" 🤣 what sweet, idealistic optimism

@QuarkQuent I would actually expect people who understand the climate crisis to be less concerned about food miles than others. But I agree that ragging on British food purely for the sake of it is weird, and that eating local has many other benefits.

[Imogen Hardy 🏳️‍🌈 @idgiecodes]

@QuarkQuent My point was that the emissions of food transport are tiny compared to the emissions involved in most peoples' food purchasing habits, whatever they buy. 'Food miles' are overrated and thus misunderstood as a climate issue in the same way as recycling.

@jamesrbuk If nobody does pagan rituals there on the solstice then I refuse to call it a henge

[Imogen Hardy 🏳️‍🌈 @idgiecodes]

@jamesrbuk Meanwhile, on this excellent and resilient website

[Imogen Hardy 🏳️‍🌈 @idgiecodes]

@JoRigby_Balham Just shows how incredibly out of touch they are. What regular person outside of the Westminster bubble even remembers that letter? I'm a politics nerd and I'd basically forgotten about it.

@katebevan Thank you Daphne for gracing the internet with your wonderful purrs 😻

[Imogen Hardy 🏳️‍🌈 @idgiecodes]

@katebevan She's right to be

@katebevan I’ve heard some ex-JWs say they felt like the purpose of it was less to actually try and convert anyone, and more to deliberately elicit a hostile response that keeps the would-be missionaries feeling isolated and dependent on the church. Rather sinister.
