My friend Sascha is a professional musician and he's lost a viola bow on the way to Heathrow. Please signal boost to help him get it back.

Lost viola bow on the way from Honor Oak Station to Heathrow Terminal 2. The bow slid from its bow case somewhere along the way, possibly on the train. TFL contacted already.
It weighs 68.2 grams and has got a stamped DODD next to the frog. If any info on this, please pm me.

Anti-fascist? The only politician achieving a passing grade for being anti-fascistic is @zackpolanski.bsky.social, leader of the Green Party of England and Wales. Join us now at join.greenparty.org.uk

Interesting read. Protests against immigration, but "protects R kidz" by driving a stolen car at 90mph down the Great North Road, ramming other vehicles, driving on the wrong side of the road.

Has 35 previous convictions, but is worried about immigrants?

Road menace did 90mph in 30 zone and wrote off two cars during police chase

Jack Fowler, of Elswick, jailed for violent disorder during the Sunderland riot last year, was behind the wheel of a stolen Land Rover when police tried to pull him over

It's on 29th October at Edinburgh Quaker Meeting House at 6.45pm. If you live in Edinburgh or nearby, please come along and please share widely.

While it's heartbreaking to have said goodbye to Tim, we want to continue his legacy as best as possible, by sharing stories of cycling and mental health.

By design too. Successive governments have invested in London and let the rest of the country suffer. The North is hugely deprived in places. It's disgusting. No doubt some people will say a pound invested in London returns more than anywhere else but that's *because* investment only happens there.

Strip out London, and Britain’s GDP per capita is just 3% larger than Poland’s 🤯

🇵🇱 My @thetimes column: Poland’s economic miracle

12 out of 17 Polish regions are now richer than West Wales. It has faster internet, cheaper electricity and more high speed rail than Britain

When it comes to regional development it’s the UK, not Poland, that needs to catch up

As I've said, they're not lazy, they don't lack ambition. The system does not reward people who don't want to drive forwards in their careers, they just want to exist.

And yet our entire system could not exist without them.

It's what you are saying. "Just work your way out off poverty" isn't a choice for so many people.

I put vapour lock sheeting on the floor. It's 2mm, waterproof and levelling. Big difference. The roof still needs sorting but I'll get through winter then sort that.
