The push for the 15 minute city in Bath is failing. Miles of underused cycle lanes, broken bollards, traffic jams, shop closures due to lack of parking but residents and visitors are angry. The 15 minute city project is doomed. We will get our cities back. @camillahmturner

In the UK you can’t keep chickens in your own garden without registering with DEFRA. Defra is one of the many regulators that doesn’t uphold sex based protections for women. We are so fucked.

@GBNEWS A govt stuffed with lawyers, but Chagos is not a case of duffing up an employer / institution of the State for failing to comply with some perpetually expanding notion of Human Rights, litigated in front of a tame Judge who is "one of us", - and that is pretty much all they know.
