How the heck do cars like this pass any "pedestrian over the bonnet" test?
I thought there were construction and use regulations for car design that mitigated the effect on pedestrians being run over by drivers.

Woah.
I wish I didn’t have to share this. But the BBC has decided to censor my first Reith Lecture.
They deleted the line in which I describe Donald Trump as “the most openly corrupt president in American history.” /1

Kings Heath High Street daily scenario: I'm on a bus with (I'm estimating here) 50 or 60 people on it, being held up by about 50 or 60 single occupancy vehicles.
So we're all moving at 4mph.
The positive effects of the high street carrying two buses moving at 10mph are huge. Huge.

From the latest travel in London report. When nearly 90% of journeys in Inner London boroughs are walking, cycling or public transport why do we allocate so much space for the movement and storage of motor vehicles?

This is a brilliant story ($) that's worth reading to the end but, as a pernickety copy editor, I wonder at the #NYT's reason for capping "Black" but not "white".
I'd have thought logic would have been applied by the #styleguide editors.

It's January 31st, 2020, and Nathan Gill is celebrating our imminent departure from the EU.... and that terrible idea of a European Army.
Hmm, now I wonder who else would have been delighted about that.

Remember when American Nazis were a joke. Now they have "rightwing commentators" like Nick Fuentes, who once said: "Jews are running society, women need to shut the f***up, blacks need to be imprisoned for the most part and we would live in paradise."
