Migrants didn't cut council funding. Migrants didn't cut NHS funding. Migrants didn't close youth centres. Migrants didn't sell off council houses. Migrants aren't filling our rivers with sewage. Farage and co. will tell you to point the finger at migrants. Don't fall for it.

Mechanically minded blueskyers, tell me how can that happen without using the word "magic"? This was mid-ride, not me cack handedly reassembling the cage. #mtb #cycling #bikemechanics

If this were Just Stop Oil, there'd have been dozens of arrests, furious denunciations in the billionaire press and, perhaps, long jail sentences. Farmers have a right to protest, and the police respect it. Other people, it seems, not so much. The real #TwoTierPolicing www.bbc.co.uk/news/videos/...

One of those days where careful planned breaks to make most of the sunshine(ish) get gradually dismantled by "stuff" and now it's dark and I've hardly moved from my arse. 🙄
