“Copenhagen reported that 62% of its residents are now commuting to work or school by bike — an increase from 52% in 2015 & 36% in 2012, when the City Council launched a 14-year-plan to improve the quality, safety & comfort of cycling.” #Copenhagen chose. They keep choosing even better every year.

The extreme hoarding of wealth is sociopathic. Example below. It amazes me that people can argue the toss that hospital cleaners shouldn’t get sick pay from day one, and argue just as vehemently that the super rich shouldn’t be asked to pay their fair share of tax.

I am a little bored with the 'What About Brexit?' bombardment tbh but you really can't talk about the UK's "deep economic scars" without bloody mentioning it. Unless you're the BBC, apparently. Its negative impact is not an opinion, it's counting.

New product idea: noise-cancelling ear buds for gigs. They allow you to hear the band clearly by blocking the sound of dickheads in the audience who are shouting at each other. If someone can make these, then you can have the concept free and I’ll be your first customer

Rachel Reeves to soften changes to non-dom tax regime after hearing ‘concerns’. Another election pledge diluted. Any chance of softening on the two-child benefit cap, winter fuel payment cut, freeze on personal allowance? Thought not ... the rich rule. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Benefit cheats could be stripped of driving licences. Someone innocently exceeding the Carer's earning limit is charged with fraud, can't drive, many not be able to work, can't support family, needs more benefits. Hawks are appeased No equivalent sanctions for tax abusers, launderers, real crooks
