There are two causes for this problem The first is that modern safety requirements for cars (to protect pedestrians and cyclists in collisions) mean huge amounts of excess spacing in crumple zones to provide a cushion on impact. For example, in the past a lot of pedestrians suffered catastrophic head injuries when they ran in front of a car, because the bonnet was close to the engine block, so their heads bent the bonnet into the solid immovable engine and their heads cam off worse. To mitigate that there is now a huge amount of flex and space so that the head is cushioned from the engine. Naturally, the rest of the body work and car frame has had to increase to accommodate this safety measure. The second issue is electrification. Electric cars are massive because they have to carry huge batteries around to make them work. Massive amounts of space and height is given over to batteries in electric cars. The new electric Renault 5 (described as a "compact" hatch back) is nearly 4 metres long 2 metres wide. That makes it longer and wider than the original Range Rover.

This feels like a targeted attack on Catholics who don't actually all live within extremely short distances, or even relatively close vicinity to a state primary school affiliated to their own religion.

The hopper fare is pointless if they're "regulating the service" or changing drivers and making you wait at a random bus stop nowhere near your interchange.

So pleased for him to be back on Lordship Lane. He has some other venues that are all excellent, but a bit of a walk from here.

Assume the parent was also on a bicycle?

Ha ha ha! Nigel Farage voted for that Green party. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-16936634 They're all rats in the same sack.

As a compromise I'd be prepared to trial the reintroduction of dog licensing. The annual licence fee would be the same as road tax for Range Rover (same carbon emissions as a dog) and would require owners to pass a responsible dog ownership exam, the dogs would need to pass training and a behaviour exam and their DNA would need to be kept on record to identify the owners who leave dog shit all over the pavements, so that they can be jailed.

As I've said before, it's time to ban dog ownership. Society today is too selifsh and irresponsible for the public to be trusted with keeping dogs. They are also an environmental disaster.

Are the Greens voting on whether everyone else claiming a right to live there is also racist? No. It's just the Jews.

Yes. The right to self determination in their homeland, a core principle protected by the United Nations charter. A charter established by all of the world's nations in the aftermath of the Nazis attempts to eliminate the Jewish race in its entirety in the most appalling genocide in the history of human civilisation.

How will you vote at the Spring Conference when they put forward their motion that it is "racism" for Jews to want to live in a sovereign state on their own ancestral homeland?

Can't you get a refund on the bottle itself when you take it back? So you only pay for the gas? Also, how many BBqs are you testing? A smaller tank be enough gas if it's not too many.

There was quite a lot of police activity round here a couple of days ago. I wonder of it was part of a chase and they nudged it into the traffic light ?

At least one of them is an activist and a researcher though. She admitted it herself: "In a statement, Anna Goodman said: “I really regret taking down that poster from a local shop. Later that same day I returned the poster and apologised both to the person who made the poster and to the shopkeeper. I’d like to reiterate my apology to all local people involved in creating the poster who I’m sure, even if we hold opposing views, genuinely care every bit as much as me about doing what’s best for their local area. “I’m engaged in a personal capacity with various campaigns in my local area, including around LTNs. " https://southwarknews.co.uk/area/southwark/impartial-dulwich-village-ltn-report-used-research-by-academic-who-tore-down-anti-ltn-poster/ Anyway all of that is irrelevant to the discussion at hand but it's no surprise to see Earl trying to derail the thread and distract from the absolute farce the council have made of another road closure scheme.

What have the people at the mosque got to do with it? You can see the state of the awning here. https://maps.app.goo.gl/6d8HDWpL7RJxr8Rs6
