Paris proves bold leadership transforms cities. 🌍
From suffocating smog (2007) to clean, green & livable streets (2023):
🚴♀️ 100s of km of bike lanes
🌳 Tens of thousands of trees
🚗 Car-free zones & 30 km/h limits
Millions now breathe clean air.
When will we dare to follow? 💪
In May this year, @LordPeterHendy pressured my now-former employer @SYSTRA_UKIRL to sack me by threatening them.
Why did he do this? Because I'd highlighted safety and accessibility issues at Euston station. He is unfit for office and should resign.

@oldenoughtosay Oo you could look at community repaint, it's a scheme that redistributes leftover paint for cheap - think the nearest one is in Swindon but worth the drive out to save money haha
@SeascannerUK I sent a query to you guys a week ago about an upcoming booking but haven't heard back, could you please check in and get back to me? The booking is for next week so getting a bit tight now!
The scaling back and scrapping of HS2 is one of the biggest symbols of failure in this country. But especially this - failing to have a direct connection between Manchester and Paris for want of a short tunnel in London. Brunel would’ve constructed this in a weekend as a side gig
I've just seen among all the other bad news for the arts in Birmingham that the council is closing 25 out of 36 libraries - genuine cultural vandalism. Libraries are one of the few community resources left in the UK: they offer incalculable support and value.
So get this: the world's coral reefs disappear at 1.5C. We are past 1.5C now and heading for 2C
THEY ARE DONE.
The point is not "OMG all those lovely colourful things we see on David Attenborough are going to go"
No
The point is 25% of the world's fish will disappear as well.
No
The point is 1-2 billion people depend on those fish.
100s of millions of people will starve.
You're right, it could 'just' be only 10s of millions.
So that's okay then. No problem.
@adamhchase If you're new to the hobby then a good place to start is a starter or gift set because they include all the glue, paint, and tools you need for the build (regular sets come as just the model and expect you have your own paint/glue already) - happy to help with any questions!
