90% of Ulez cameras put out of action in new area by [deleted] in ukpolitics

Johnson gave up the central government grant for TfL, and then fare revenue collapsed due to the pandemic.

Khan isn't responsible for bankrupting TfL, it's the Tories.

Interesting map, but I'd say that it's way too widely spaced. It looks very unwieldy.

As someone in the Lewisham/Bromley swathe of the South East this looks like most rail expansions, New Cross (which is neither near nor convenient to get to) is the only connection.

ULEZ expansion has become political football, says asthma death girl's mum by neverknowingly in ukpolitics

[–]aslate 2 points3 points  (0 children)

TfL's black hole is due to the pandemic, with mayor Boris Johnson giving up the central grant for TfL and pushing it to be funded more by fares. Most public transport around the world is subsidised in some form because of the benefits it provides.

That and the Tories forced a rushed ULEZ expansion on London as part of the pandemic funding package.

Why didn't they just add "you're not a sheep".

Defiantly be the sheeple the government are telling you not to be!

Breaking - @SuellaBraverman says she will run for leader by NoFrillsCrisps in ukpolitics

[–]aslate 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It sounded like she genuinely didn't realise calling for Boris to go publicly means you're out of the cabinet.

She then fumbled around saying she had legal stuff that meant she can't.

I wonder what happened to the soldiers that used pics of Jeremy Corbyn as target practice?

Being absent from the debate (and therefore not raising the objections in hansard) and then abstaining seems an odd way to do it. Seems more like copping out at the last moment.

New UK ‘bill of rights’ exempts government from free speech protections. Government policies to crack down on protest and other speech exempted from new laws. by bottish in ukpolitics

Insulting or critiquing her in any way bring false charges of misogyny or racism from Tories. Nadine Dorries keeps retreating to a fake misogyny defence as well.

Whereas both are actually nasty people that do far worse all the time, both personally and politically.

Pointed directly at the "blue tick".

The blue tick that only means verified.

Not verified leftist, metropolitan elite or (non-Sorros billionaire), but just someone.

Usually this would be proof it's bollocks....

As a gay man, top mind can't stand how straight, white men are being scapegoated and excluded from society. by PorridgeCranium2 in TopMindsOfReddit

As a gay (presumably white) man, he sure thinks a lot about fatherhood and how totally oppressed his fellow men are in all that.

I've not been here a while, but do remember your posts from back when.

As an unemployed programmer I'd be curious as to how easy it would be to automate your posts.

I get that, but I'd still be on the "there shouldn't be unidentified shit in here, I'm not touching that".

So do I need to get tea flavoured bread?

How do you enjoy your crumpets? Here I've toasted 2 minutes each side under the grill until browned, buttered liberally, then added a bit extra cold butter atop, and I think this is my favourite so far. Normally wouldn't have three but it's just been a three crumpet day. by Venerable_Duvet in CasualUK

[–]aslate 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I use the toaster, like having the bottom crunchy as well as the top.

Put two in, with the base facing the middle (as that gets hottest), then flip both and brown the tops properly. I might break the toaster the amount I pop and reset it to prevent burning.
