@teo_naudomoi @AxisRelay @JosephGelman Hi, I went away and looked at the Argentinian claims and it basically comes down to the fact that the British deserted Port Egmont in 1774 and Spain carried out administration from Puerto Soledad until they too abandon it. Then Argentina claims it upon breaking from Spain in 1816

@KingBobIIV @RitsonGed64139 The blue mantle was added later to tie in with her status as the city patron of Constantinople during the Byzantine period https://t.co/VQILj0AtLs

@DPAutomation @JerryTaylor @ricey63 @azb2019 @JuliaHB1 Because no one who cycles is commuting to work? 😂😂😂

@RikkiLakeCyclin @debbiegaunt @CatchAKatherine Thank you for providing the correct analysis. I assume the radius choice is due to arctics needing to turn in, however there appears to be sufficient widths to offset this

[Tom spokes @spokes_tom]

@CatchAKatherine Road markings aren’t applied in reference to the Highway Code, they’re applied in accordance with the TSRGD. The Highway Code instructs Highway users how to interact with the Highway. This is a case of attempting to use road markings to resolve poor junction geometry.

@CharlotteCGill It is possible to be critical of a governments response to the pandemic whilst also encouraging people to get a vaccine. The two are not mutually exclusive.

@Martin00X @RyanAFournier @BGatesIsaPyscho We tend to just refer to it as tolerance but each to their own

@AuthorJCHowell @RyanAFournier @BGatesIsaPyscho It’s actually very nice here. Bit muggy at the moment but looking like a nice weekend!

@MyPencilPoints @brightonsnapper @brightonargus Civil solidarity despite differences of opinion sounds like something to celebrate

@WorldByWolf @campbellclaret @elonmusk @TRobinsonNewEra @Nigel_Farage @RobertJenrick @SuellaBraverman @GBNEWS @Daily_Express @MailOnline This doesn’t state that @hopenothate created the list. Only that it was determined a hoax after the event and if it produced a ground swell of support and solidarity, is that actually a bad thing?

@GeorgeMonbiot Heavier sentences for peaceful protesting than for violent racist rioting makes a complete mockery of the legal system. Civilisation needs to be based on a sense of justice if it is to function.

@icecreamavfc @Lewie75 @n00dles71 Probably not a case of competence much more likely a case of curtesy.

[Tom spokes @spokes_tom]

@Lewie75 @n00dles71 Cycle lanes are not obligatory and if there are other users travelling at lower speeds the cyclist has correctly moving to the adjacent lane. Provided it is within the stated operational time for non-bus users.

[Tom spokes @spokes_tom]

@scottishgooner9 @weeseabee @n00dles71 There are a lot of bus lanes in London where this applies and quite a few where there are specified times of operation

[Tom spokes @spokes_tom]

@weeseabee @n00dles71 This depends on the time of operation for the lane in question. Since the taxi was also using the lane, it is very likely that this was within the permitted operational time for cyclists as well

@RishiSunak Exception to criticism and desparity of reach are not features of freedom of speech.
Maintaining democratic rights does not extend to tolerating the intolerant. If you can’t see the difference then you are the problem

[Tom spokes @spokes_tom]

@Keir_Starmer Central government are not responsible for the administration and running of practices.

[Tom spokes @spokes_tom]

@DaleVince @bristol247 This is clearly the wrong take. Achieving national environmental policies is not dependent on a Labour gov but that won’t happen without having Greens on the benches to hold any sitting gov to account.

@richardhyland @montie Probably because the right/left dichotomy is a fabrication produced in part by lazy journalism. Also, we vote for a representative in the UK and that candidate will have their own alignment, again in contrast with the right/left narrative

@PazyBirds Robin that thinks it’s a wren 😂
