This shows just how ridiculous sentencing is in the UK for killing someone whilst driving. Over 80% of drivers who kill cyclists avoid jail. www.thesun.co.uk/motors/76602...

Costa Concordia made us weep. Edmund Fitzgerald taught us to love. Moskva taught us to laugh. Ever Given taught us to respect our elders. But McBarge was part of our families. Rest in peace, old friend.

Two years and eight months for Mr Norgate who just distractedly veered into the broken down car with his HGV, killing a pregnant nurse. He had 6 points already for a mobile phone offence already. That in its self is a miracle considering how poor that's policed. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Longest sentence for a driver causing death by dangerous driving that I can find is this one. 18 years. Killed two people. Injured 4 others. Drove a stolen vehicle, driving the wrong way on a motorway, and evading police on multiple occasions. So the question... www.herts.police.uk/news/hertfor...

This is just brilliant. The thing about well designed walkable, bikeable cities is they are better for everyone, however you get around. It doesn't need to be tribal.

It's telling that @theguardian.com anti-trans columnist Sonia Sodha hasn't published a single word about Nicola Murray - a prominent 'gender critical' activist and now a convicted serial pedophile Ignoring violence and abuse in her own ranks is complicity and seriously lets victims down

It didn't take them long. UK EHRC, unlike the ECHR is not an unbiased body. Its Chair appointed, by the Tories a gender critical. Streeting was already leaning into removing tranwomen from female wards. Palantir helps Trump deport ppl & manages NHS data. You don't have 2B a conspiracy theorist!
