South Downs Cyclist

Cycling uphill, downhill or just round the block. Some sub par running. Politics when I dare look. Pompey. Solace in nature. Aviation to pay the bills.

@shadytree1973 @LukeMLabour Great work Sam! Hope it all pays off.

@keithdunn @JasminKParis Fantastic! I’m so happy for her.

@TiceRichard So how should we count the c15% who didn’t vote in the EU referendum? Pro or anti?

[South Downs Cyclist @sdcyclist]

@AllisterHeath Why does this matter?

[South Downs Cyclist @sdcyclist]

@charlottevslife Yep, loved it. Was quite a few years ago though.

[South Downs Cyclist @sdcyclist]

@GoodwinMJ …one other point before I forget. Is this really the elite now? I think it’s more those who have the power - the governing party and the media. Seeing as the latter shape a lot of public debate and are right wing I am not sure your argument stacks up.

[South Downs Cyclist @sdcyclist]

@GoodwinMJ So, one elite has been replaced by another but the public are only out of step with this new one? Should I conclude there wasn’t a disconnect between the old elite’s views and the public at the time?

@GregHands How’s your historical knowledge? What really happened to finances back then? Do you really not know, or do you prefer to lie?

[South Downs Cyclist @sdcyclist]

@LeeAndersonMP_ Hi. I have economics degree, albeit from decades ago, but happy to help you out if you are secretly struggling to understand this.

@trussliz What values are being undermined?

[South Downs Cyclist @sdcyclist]

@fesshole Nothing like scamming a local business.

@LeeAndersonMP_ @LiamFox @GregHands @KemiBadenoch Bonus? Not quite the sunlit uplands yet.

@10DowningStreet Malaysia? Wow!

@JamesCleverly Please define ‘massive’.

@RishiSunak Can we have the cones hotline back?

[South Downs Cyclist @sdcyclist]

@Andymcgra How about a social or cultural history? Cricket is good at the former, and there is a great boxing one on the latter. But aside from Dauncey and Hare cycling feels a bit thin here. All the main characters have been mainly covered so time for a different focus?

@PippaCrerar @BBCNews Spineless especially when Attenborough is added in.

@grantshapps @GaryLineker What a misleading thing to say, I don’t think @GaryLineker is saying it is right or moral to tolerate criminal gangs. I doubt anyone thinks that. We all know they are a problem but you are choosing the wrong target. Go after them not the people paying them to cross the channel.

@carolvorders @GaryLineker Increasingly I don’t recognise this country. Why are people so angry and unpleasant. The government’s proposal won’t work (as usual) and just focuses on stirring up ill feeling and hatred rather than trying to fix the issue.

@GNev2 @Conservatives Stop the Boats - I wondered when the next three word populist slogan would appear. We’re a better country than this dog whistling.
