More war against cyclists.....

[DCBassman]

The man is plainly a fraudulent, fake-news-spreading stirrer. Off with his fingers!

Is it really worth the energy to get wound up by this type of journalism?

The Daily Telegraph is what it is. Personally I wouldn't even bother going to the website, finding snd reading the article and giving it further publicity.

The scary thing is not only do they buy it, a lot believe it. When this is applied to other parts of life history teaches us that bad s*it can happen.

First they came for for the cyclists...

"Who are these oiks clogging up the roads with their monstrous, turbo-charged status symbols?"

That would be the owners of Audi turbo diesels...

Trying to compensate for something, possibly.

Quadricep deficiency perhaps ?

I think you're largely correct.

Most of us were just here for the easy chuckles, rather than being 'wound up'

OTOH if we don't keep an eye on stuff like this we end up in echo chambers, thinking everyone is roughly aligned thinking-wise.

I mean just look at the increasingly emboldened populist press.

And the 'anti-woke' brigade for example.

If they're 'anti woke' what's their alternative..??


'Half asleep'

So that no-one sees what's actually happening.??

This is poor little failed right-wing firebrand & polemicist Toby Young, isn't it? Presumably having a paddy because Andrew Neil hasn't given him a job on GBeebies.

If they're 'anti woke' what's their alternative..??

"Woke (/ˈwoʊk/ WOHK) is a term that refers to awareness of issues that concern social justice and racial justice."

"Woke (/ˈwoʊk/ WOHK) is a term that refers to awareness of issues that concern social justice and racial justice."

Indeed,

So the alternative is.??

"Nah, don't give a carp about that stuff"

"Woke (/ˈwoʊk/ WOHK) is a term that refers to awareness of issues that concern social justice and racial justice."

Whereas 'Woking' is a term which refers to standing in the kitchen wondering what you came in here for.

You were wanting the scissors I think..

GBeebies


I'm stealing that ..

Please don't under rate the upstarts. Sorry to bang on, but history yet again has many examples of loading the metaphorical gun and standing back to watch the carnage whilst someone else pulls the trigger.

Duck tape actually. But I'm at work trying to remember where I put it so I can tell my wife, who is in the kitchen.

 

[Oldhippy]

Did you know Duck tape contains no duck! It's a good thing of course. 😁

In the fruit bowl.?

Or under a small side plate, currently hosting toast crusts ??

This will reassure my vegan friends 🙏🏼

Is Duct tape, for taping Ducts or Duck Tape for taping ducks.
