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.

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."

Why are all these politicians saying they are against violence but insist on posing with chainsaws? It's like an echo of the Texas chainsaw massacre. The latest is Andrew Griffith, the Tory business spokesman. When Javier Milei did it, it was novel. Now it's plain boring @kemibadenochmp.bsky.social

It's nice to find a #Halloween-free zone. This is the only concession to the supernatural at the cafe inside the Arts Centre in Dedham.

Oh dear. How sad. #ReformUK find that Kent county council are so well run that they can't make cuts and will have to put council tax up by 5%. That's a surprise to no one except Farage's crowd.

Higher prices in my supermarket shop put me in mind of the 1970s Daily Mirror "shopping clock", which charted the effect of #inflation on a basket of groceries
