@Cabbygreen79 Winds me up. Got alongside him
at the lights, looked over for a chat & got the frozen stare straight ahead.

This etiquette talk they're supposedly still receiving; is it voluntary?
Getting fed up of getting tailgated & having to straddle 2 lanes to keep the bugger back to be honest.

😭 Absolute classic sketch from Harry Enfield & Paul Whitehouse’s BAFTA-winning BBC series.

Harry and Paul do a brilliant parody of BBC Question Time: the clichéd audience questions, the sweaty nervous bloke in the jumper, the host’s withering put-downs, panelists waffling absolute nonsense… and all the timeless British political b*llocks in one perfect sketch. 😂

Still painfully accurate years later.

@King61B Christ. Only street charge for me.
I can't afford the new model to be full electric.

The Henry Nowak case - and especially the muted reaction to it of the political establishment - says so much about what is wrong with our country. I feel that, like Southport, it will, in years to come, be seen as a pivotal moment causing a shift in the public mood. People can see what’s going on, and they are growing more and more angry.

Battersea. Fascinating bit of film

Londoners give their account on the lonely, stale existence within the ugly, concrete high rises in South London during the 1970s.

Communities, built around streets that had been there for decades were turned into characterless, concrete towers. No more front or back garden conversations, no more street unity. Just a cold world created by cold hands.

GLCLCC made every excuse not to save the original housing, stating that they were slums. This isn't entirely true and in fact people were far more connected and happier when they had a home, and community of their own.

Of course, they made the best of it. But little did they know at the time that it wasn't in good faith but the beginning of a deliberate project based on cultural and social decline.

Today people have become so used to having a lack of community and overall happiness that tower blocks of all kinds are seen as normal. But, those who first used them saw just how unnatural they were.

Agenda driven, insincere people pretend that this was a good thing when they know full well it wasn't. Not only did it change the shape and feel of London, but it changed the people within it. They could have rebuilt the houses if they didn't want to repair them. But that wouldn't have separated people, or prepared them for what the institutions had in store. ⏳️

Get your head around this stat

James Milner retiring means 2026-27 will be the first English top-flight season since 1956-57 that will not feature a single player who played under Sir Bobby Robson.

Yet again the Four Seasons rank is full of cabs with no drivers and I want to rank there. I’ve taken photos of the plates and will be reporting to TFL. I warned you.

This parade bollocks: The R turn, Mountgrove into Green Lanes is going to be interesting

[Nigel J Walley @WalleyVision]

Blimey! Ireland are playing Afghanistan at cricket in August. Given the absolutely brutal treatment of every woman in the country, there’s going to be one helluva protest isn’t there!

[Frankly, keep My Rank Free @theuncle73]

4am & they'd already shut off half of Islington for this lame pissy parade.
