When I was a child in the mid-sixties, annual road deaths were about 8000. They are now closer to 1500, despite a 350% increase in the number of vehicles on the roads and a 25% increase in population. Effectively a reduction in fatality rate of about 96%. Pretty damned impressive.

When I was a child thousands of people died needlessly every year because seat belts were not compulsory.

And an interesting comparison. In 1901 2690 people were recorded as having a cause of death of "Vehicles and horses". Total pop was a little over half what it is today. Add to that all the serious injuries, and no NHS to treat them...

A brilliant summation of the legal position of the right of Palestine to exists as a sovereign state, and the lack of any legal basis for the existence of a separate state of Israel. A one-state solution, with people of all races and religions living together, is the only legal solution.

#OTD in 1818, Maria Mitchell was born. She was the first professional female astronomer in the U.S. On 1 Oct 1847 she discovered a comet, later known as "Miss Mitchell's Comet" in her honor (today named C/1847 T1). Image: H. B. Dassel portrait of Maria Mitchell, ca. 1851 Public D. 🔭 🧪 #HistSci

They were Israeli military. They were heavily armed. How can they have been overwhelmed? Couldn't they just call in a missile strike? Or run over the #Zionist terrorists in a tank? And if the terrorists were 'violent' no question. Bomb them to dust. Palestinian kids are shot for holding a stone.

Done. Now on 462

Could you possibly help me out for 3 secs? I’ve just started on YouTube to share important info about the NHS+ I’m hoping to earn from the ads they put on videos but I need 1000 followers on there! Could you possibly click here+hit “subscribe”? Ju youtube.com/@jujuliagrac...

Charlotte Church sang From the River to the Sea at a fundraising event for Palestinians and now all the usual people are screaming antisemitism and trying to cancel her. RT if you stand with Charlotte Church and Palestine.

Hi #History and #historians on Bluesky - and #theological #bluesky I'm working on a project involving the location of #stainedglass windows. My life would be easier if I could acquire lists of all current and former non-conformist and Roman Catholic places of worship in the British Isles.

- or even partial lists, to be honest. e.g. "RC churches in Ireland" or Methodist (various) churches in England Does anyone know if such lists exist? The folk working on POWiS (Places Of Worship in Scotland) very kindly let me have a copy of their database, and I have lists for C of E and C in W.

Online would be great, but private sources/lists would be lovely too. For printed lists I'd be happy to digitise them and make them more widely available. Alternatively does anyone have contacts within the denominations who may be able to assist? Thanks muchly!

<Whispers> This site works in England too... Fantastic for "what was under my house before they built it?", "so the road is called Mill Close..." and other local history nerderies.

I just wrote a @theactionnetwork.bsky.social letter: Demand Canada finally act by ending all support of the illegal Israeli settlement enterprise. Write one here: actionnetwork.org/letters/dema... there's a really good letter already written here. all you have to do is sign it... 💙🙏🫂 🇵🇸 ☮️🕊

I can't see why there'd be any delay. How long does it take them to say "nothing to see here" about any deform complaints?

Currently have a request in with the Electoral Commission for comment on a non-Reform investigation. I strongly suspect their reply may be delayed... (And fair enough if so)

Dear Andy Burnham. Please, please, please...only you can save us! You MUST authorise more oil and gas extraction in the North Sea at once Encouraging the road haulage industry with cheap road tax would help as well. Under NO circumstances do anything to encourage more solar PV and batteries.

Another appeal. The violence is getting worse again. Gaza isn't in the news much, but the Israeli terrorism and murder continues every day. Please contribute something.

Nigel Ó Ceallacháin@nigelcallaghan.bsky.social

Dear all, Please can you help our friend Mo in Gaza? This is NOT a scam. Despite the unimaginable (to us in our safe & comfortable homes) difficulties of everyday life that he faces, he & his family still manage to care for 17 homeless cats. Can you help buy their food? paypal.me/animalrescue...

In the Green Party any member can propose a policy - it's part of our constitution & the rest of the membership decide to debate it or not. When the media present that as the Green Party "proposing" a policy they're misleading you - worth asking why the billionaire press constantly attack us.

Big problem. Radio 4 Long Wave has ceased to exist. It's FM only now. So won't be audible in mid-Atlantic. Is this how Armageddon starts?

The Crusader Project@crusaderproject.bsky.social

That would be bad, because if they don't find BBC R4 they are expected to assume the UK has ceased to exist and are free to execute counter-strikes. 😬

Brilliant T-shirt! And my name's Nigel, too. Shows Zack has a sense of humour. Would it be okay if it said "We're making plans for Louis XVI"? Although that would lose the amusing reference to the popular 1979 song by XTC. I suspect the fash complaining have never heard of the song.,
