I see Prince William has started a group to help get 300,000 homeless people off the streets within five years. Good for him but surely the questions must be,

1) Why is he having to do it?
2) Why are there so many homeless people in one of the wealthiest countries in the world?

I really want everyone to pivot back from video. I fucking hate video. Do not ever make me watch a video just to obtain information. Making me watch a video instead of giving me text I can read is an act of violence against me specifically. When will it end.

[Marcus @mark395625]

Of course this is the railways fault...

Every day rail staff sort out the mess created by passengers who just want a bit of levity, a bit of fucking about....

Get on to the station, go to the platform, get on the train. You don't need to fuck about.

To the person who went to all the trouble to put carpet grippers between the bollards on Goldsmith Row Hackney go f*ck yourself. Removed, despatched

For those in the back that need even more reasons to promote cycling:

In #Paris, emergency response times have FALLEN because firefighters can now use the growing bike lane network (and cyclists disperse much easier than cars).

Trump indicted, Johnson resigns…

Right wing populism has failed. Fuelling anger and lies but no solutions for people.

Time to get rid of their mouthpieces in Europe too: Le Pen, Salvini, Orbán, Wilders, AFD, VB and many others !

THIRD rabbithole of the day: Called here between Cottbus & Berlin last Sunday, it's not your typical German place name, it wasn't an island and it wasn't very tropical. So what's the story? Apparently involves an airship hangar... https://t.co/mvFVq375aj

@Sebast1antombs @seatsixtyone We've just come home using the Harwich ferry. We stayed overnight in Hoek village in a great hotel.
Used the direct train to Cambridge with an easy connection with a Cross Country Trains service to Peterborough, Leicester & Birmingham for travel to the Midlands & the North

Selling beer in grocery stores may go down as one of the biggest public health losses of the decade.

@WorldBollard As seen in #Vienna, never to be unseen

[David__Osland @David__Osland]

An irremovable head of state who also leads the official state religion, an unelected upper house, voter suppression and widespread arrest of protesters. There's no way Iran can be called a democracy.

It's serious if the @conservatives are losing that much in #Rutland. Very good news. #GTTO

This is what resilience looks like. Before leaving Kherson yesterday, this train was hit in a 🇷🇺shelling that left one of its carriages on fire and one steward wounded. Still, the trip was only delayed by 14 minutes, ending in Lviv today according to schedule - to the minute
