One of the more tone deaf posts of the week. A group of cyclists parking their bikes against benches outside, so nobody else can use them while they eat inside, is apparently a great thing.
@john4brexit
Brexit costs 4% every year. If Brexit didn't happen, the economy would be 4% bigger. That is the OBR figure. Not hard to understand, unless you are a Brexit supporter obv.
@kingsleyCGFC
@David__Osland
I found it hard to believe too. But I looked it up. Yes, household income in Mississippi is higher than the UK. Some great Brexit winning on top of general Conservative govt winning. Poland is forecast to overtake the UK in 2030.
@zapatas_mom
😂 😂 😂 Every country has homeless people. I saw them, with my own eyes, when I was living in China and I saw them again last year when I went back for a visit. If you are going to lie, make it credible.
@theJeremyVine
It’s quite odd that I cycled to work for several years and hardly an incident. I don’t recall a horn ever being used. However, every time you get on a bike, something unpleasant seems to happen.
@Secret_Squidgle
The police will not be prosecuting speeding offences off your radar/lidar camera. No doubt you will fap yourself into a frenzy once you realise this.
@Zaphod2042
Not really seeing the problem with Coleman’s mustard. In smaller quantities it tastes nice. In larger quantities, it clears the sinuses for far less than buying a packet of Sudafed. What’s not to like?
@zapatas_mom
It does not matter where, as from the condescending, mocking nature of your posts you will either not believe it, or just continue lying. Sure, let’s pretend China is the only country in the world without homeless people.
@theJeremyVine
Highway Code, rules for cyclists, rule 76. Can be reworded as “don’t ride as speed past junctions where you and turning traffic will have difficulty seeing each other”. Shared fault, but lack of basic self preservation by the cyclist.
@kelvmackenzie
Just looked up Vorderman’s career. Seems she’s still on ITV, will have about £3.5m on top of her house in Wales and no longer associates with Tory grifters. Seems quite a good deal to me.
@Cycling_In_LDN
Floating bus stops are bad for pedestrians- pedestrians don’t get a choice about it. That cyclist ahead of you put themselves at risk, undertaking the bus. Why expect bus passengers to lower their own safety, when cyclists have no interest in their own and pull stunts like this?
@vivamjm
Aging foreign Brits with higher than population-average health care needs, who don’t pay local income tax, may have to leave. How unfortunate for the Spanish exchequer. How will Spain cope?
@mikegalsworthy
Play with her. Kitchen can wait. In 10 years she will pretend she doesn’t know you when you drop her at school, as you’re too embarrassing!
@BrexitBin
There’s being lied to, and there’s a separate issue basic lack of thinking. If you spend months in the EU she went to sell your products, how is voting for Britain leaving the EU going to help with that?

It’s not my favourite place; - rather authoritarian, - expensive, - relative backwater, - hot, - boring. “Similar to the United States, only not as good”.
@SkyHelpTeam
@chopchopni
But you don’t provide the best service. My wife and daughter use Sky. They paid £2/day. My son and I use O2. We didn’t pay for roaming.
@vivamjm
Just to be pedantic, you are normally sacrificed on an altar. Crucified is more upright. I’d say you want the altar sacrifice. Brexit definitely isn’t upright, even when nailed on.
@4ChordsNoNet
Cyclists may be surprised to know that drivers on the main road often pause to let people out of junctions. Usually this results in an appreciative wave and a wave back. When a cyclist is involved, it results in a video, Twitter post and complaining.

It's not just that Henry Bolton only made Lance Corporal in the regular army. It's that he was in the regular army for 11 years and only made Lance Corporal.
@WarksCyclist
NIP did not happen. Speed offences are not prosecuted from helmet camera footage. Overtaking pedal cycles on double whites which are travelling below 10mph is lawful. The 10mph is determined from a calibrated device, not your camera. Fantasist making stuff up.
@n00dles71
Cyclists going through red lights. Cyclists riding at speed, closely past a bus stopped at a bus stop with no observation for pedestrians stepping out from in front of the bus. What could cause all these cycle crashes I wonder.
@WarksCyclist
Sobbing loser digs up Surrey police post from 2021. The post does say “a road user owns the lane they are in”. Will you stop filtering past queuing cars then, since they must own that bit of lane?
@FieldsHighbury
Parking regulations do not specify the maximum with of vehicle which may be parked. No PCN is possible for the size of the vehicle here. The PCN is for something else, such as no permit or overstaying. But if you sob harder, you may feel better.
@Passenger120
@SkirtingWorld
@metpoliceuk
The van driver aborted their overtake during to not enough space. At that point you started wildly gesticulating at the driver, including at the point where he had plenty of room to overtake. Not really helping yourself.
@Rendel_Harris
It's a non event, yet you chose to make a confrontation out of it. Cyclists stopping ahead of the stop line is a routine occurence, yet I don't choose to give cyclists a self-important lecture about it; why do you chose make similarly minor indiscretions part of your life?
@michaelhkay
@MadeleinaKay
You voted for a hard border. You got a hard border. The UK does not allow unrestricted entry for citizens of EU countries. Yet somehow the EU imposing the same rules to Britain as it does to any other non-SM country is the “EU being difficult”.
@roadpoliceBCH
I’d like to know what goes through the head of people just drive in Lane 3 when the rest of the motorway is clear. Or when traffic is passing on their left in L1 & 2. Does anything go through their head?
@Cycling_In_LDN
@blnnnnm
The filtering happened when the oncoming traffic was passing. Increases the risk and was pointless as no more progress was made compared to if they had waited until no oncoming traffic.
@AllanBriddock
@brenspole
The fact that JKRs views on trans people in women’s spaces are well known, combined the tweet being in plain English, leads me to conclude that the meaning, though clear, is beyond your comprehension
@NickFletcherMP
Umm, if Britain is full, can you explain why I regularly read about business unable to find staff and large numbers of vacant positions in the NHS?
@DCBMEP
@DCBMEP
You did not read it properly, considering you are talking about education. It’s in US dollars. So the U.K. max is approx £119,500, not £150k. It also appears to include heads of private, fee-paying schools. They aren’t on strike.
Cyclists out, getting fit. Enjoying fresh air. Promoting active travel. Reducing road congestion. Doing their bit to combat climate change. The public spiritedness is just too much!!

@ProfBrianCox
Indeed he's wrong. However we replaced EU membership with the vastly inferior TCA, which is why Britain now has trade friction with our nearest and biggest trading partner and why Britain has higher than average inflation, due to supply constraints.
@SkyHelpTeam
That’s great, But my O2 bill hasn’t gone up at all, they give me more data than before for the same price and I don’t need to pay for EU roaming.
@FlapZappa
@DrZeshanQureshi
It is not a race to the bottom. On you “stopping Labour at all costs” - you may wish to come up with another reason for existing as it ain’t working.
@mrlongdenextra
Look I didn’t go to a street party either. But this is silly. People have TVs at home in 2023. Nobody is going to sit on a deckchair when it is cold and raining when it can be watched at home. Plenty of people were willing to stand in the rain in central London to watch it.
@Peston
Let's be honest. The £1.5bn for deserved NHS pay rises in chump change in comparison to the multi-bullions spaffed against the wall on substandard PPE. Part of which was used to fund Baroness Mone's yacht.
@TheWarMonitor
Even if it were $ billions, this is one of the best returns on arms spending in the history of warfare. Russia, formerly considered the no. 2 military in the world, now reduced to an impotent force held at bay by cheap drones & farmers with tractors. Plus some NATO weapons.
@GoldingBF
No Paul, British are not second class citizens in Britain. British are second class citizens in the continent of Europe, due to the Brexit you support. As for your leaflet, it's crap and you are a racist with zero chance of being elected.
@albundysdad
Yet another failure of the Brexit you support. Undocumented arrivals were lower when we were in the EU and there was a legal mechanism to return arrivals to the first EU country they arrived in.
@Cycling_In_LDN
@djstouty
The traffic from the 14 to 31 second mark in the video clearly was moving. Choosing to filter right next to a vehicle for an extended time. Poor cycling, inconsiderate, increases risk for no gain.
@H_H_Gray
Cycling is much, much higher risk than walking. Activities which are higher risk have more measures in place for increase safety. Though you being a cyclist, I understand that you expect your safety to be entirely in the hands of others. You shouldn’t need to do anything.

A reninder, you don’t need to be doing anything illegal for Mikey to publish you on the internet. Here Mikey photographs a woman in her car, then publishes it without her consent on the internet.
@HedgehogCycling
You are about 3 metres from the kerb. You could fit an entire car to your left. Not only are you not using the cycle lane, you are right of the centre if th general traffic lane. Then you sob that you have problems. Loser.
@MerPolTraffic
What is the recommendation when you are minding your own business in Lane 1 and slowly gaining on someone who in L2 for no good reason? I normally just pass them remaining in Lane 1.
@simonharris_mbd
I love Greta. Although I must confess, not just because of what she does to prevent climate change. I also love her as she triggers right wingers, climate change deniers, anti-vaxxers and Brexshitters.
@CobraBall3
Fly at your service ceiling ca. 50,000 ft. Accelerate to max speed. Pull up. Should reach 60,000 ft. If your engines would flame out in the thin air I don't know, but that's my idea.
@MikeB46263817
@NicholasTyrone
Another sobbing leaver, complaining Brexit wasn’t Brexit enough. Or it wasn’t the Brexit they voted for. Or the govt has messed up Brexit. Always blaming others for their own failure.
@Number10cat

The vertical scale is independent of the horizontal scale. The vertical scale uses grams, the horizontal kilograms - but they are independent of each other. The vertical scale is in kcal. Graph labelling is not correct.
@Cycling_In_LDN
@blnnnnm
You clearly lack the mental capacity to consider the possibility of what could reasonably happen, rather than what did in this instance happen. Sooner or later, it will happen. How does a face full of one of those 6-inch high wooden posts sound?
@TerraOrBust
Your list of benefits are trade deals adding fractions of a percent to GDP over a long period. vs the immediate hit to GDP from leaving the EU. If there were tangible Brexit benefits, everyone would be feeling them by now. Instead people are poorer.
@Cycling_In_LDN
@blnnnnm
The oncoming traffic could cause the traffic on the cyclist's side of the road to move left. That reduces the safety margin. Does that need explaining? Or perhaps as is often the case, cyclists expect others to be solely responsible for their safety.
@PlasFron
@vanmaneuro
Ok then. Aged care home workers don’t contribute to the country by your metric. Make sure to remind them of that when you are in an aged care facility and they are changing your incontinence pad for you.

With 15 or so years previous experience in the oil industry, I can advise you that there is significant drilling, mining and energy use to get oil out of the ground to produce gasoline or diesel to power a conventional car, which isn’t required for EVs.

Why are PAs at specialist clinics? Is the purpose of a referral to see a specialist, so you can see a specialist? Not to see someone less qualified than the GP who referred you.

Non stop winning. 3 hours of hanging out with other sovereign people, all admiring blue passports together. I cannot believe the winning going on.

The camera dude also seemed remarkably calm, having survived the flying debris, when Gravy Seal 1 turned around with a loaded AR and started waving it at them.
@TimmoWorldWide
Brexit has killed almost all short term contract work in the EU, stone dead. Even longer term employment isn’t happening except for very limited exceptions where the persons skills are quite in demand.
@vivamjm
I work for a CPTPP-country based multinational trading company. There isn’t much benefit to CPTPP. We still need visas, customs decs, inspections etc to move anything. For Britain, it’s a long way away. Suggestions it will make up for Brexit are a fantasy of cultists.

As I always observe, people who post memes are thick. In your case, the matters being dealt with in court are from far in the past, before Markle came on the scene. That is why she is little mentioned and Harry's gf of the time is. If only you were bright enough to notice that.
@DanKaszeta
I find the bolted chairs very disturbing to use. A compromise between not being too far from the table and being able to fit yourself in. Invariably, they are too far from the table. I sat in a fixed chair-table at lunch, while drinking a hojicha latte. The gap was bothering.
