This is a normal post It's not that I'm particularly anti-Tory.
I don't really subscribe to the popular "Ohhhh! Look how evil and sinister these Tories are! Aren't they baddies!" attitude. I'm far from their biggest fan, but I still think they're doing a better job than a Labour government run by a bunch of Corbynite fuckwits would.
At the end of the day, no matter who you vote into power, they're going to be thinking of themselves first. It's all about money and power, regardless of your political affiliation.
Yes, I know that's the case the world over. But I tend to have more faith that the EU Commission's agenda will be in the better interests of our little island as a whole rather than the agenda of a bunch of Tories.

This is a normal post Nope, not at all.
The problem with the official rate is that it falls if an unemployed worker hasn’t sought a job in the past four weeks or can’t start one in the next fortnight. Once they stop seeking work, fewer people are classed as unemployed but no jobs have been created.

So you're right in that this government are the best so far at redefining what being unemployed means. I know people aren't keen on links to "left wing" sources, so I'm just using right wing ones or academia.

You said "Everyone and their dog was predicting the end of the world would happen immediately after voting for brexit"

But the closest you've come to backing that up is mentioning some Tory MPs and finance experts not liking Osborne's threatened extra austerity plans.

Naysayers have been very pessimistic about what will happen because of Brexit especially when it does actually happen. But I don't recall anyone saying the world would end immediately after the referendum, especially when they assumed it would only be giving the government food for thought.

When Labour lost its majority, the select committees had equal numbers of government and opposition MPs on them. This from the Commons Library, which is probably as reliable a source as you're going to get. The reason the government can't guarantee that it gets its way, is that the electorate decided that it shouldn't earlier this year. The government seem to regard this particular will of the people with less reverence than some other democratic mandates. And as for the bill itself, the levels of recursion involved in tow clauses which allow the bill itself to be amended by executive order, by any minister of the crown whenever they feel like it seems a bit bloody much.

This is a normal post Righto.
I suppose it's okay if you like lots of action and dragons and Emilia Clarke's complete dogshit acting abilities. But it has the intellectual depth of an episode of Celebrity Big Brother these days.
As soon as the television series got ahead of the novels and the writers started writing it for the fans instead of an adaptation of the existing books, it's gone downhill rapidly.
From the get-go, there weren't really enough episodes in a season to do the various character and story arcs justice. But with the introduction of completely disposable and irrelevant characters (Brienne, Gilly and her stupid baby, Podrick, The Spice Girls Sand Snakes, and dare I say, Arya amongst others), the amount of completely unnecessary bloat has left even less screen time for meaningful character and plot development.
Add to this the clearly hurried attempts by the screenwriters to stitch the story together in the remaining 13 episodes of seasons 7 & 8 including Jon Snow and the Spoopy Gang's apparent use of wormholes to traverse thousands of miles on foot in a couple of days and you're left with complete popcorn please-the-masses disposable soap opera.

I suppose it still makes for better than average Saturday night television, but it's a far cry from what it was achieving in it's first few seasons. I assume, mainly because the majority are more impressed with big fucking dragons than story.

But season 8 7 was predictable fanservice garbage in comparison to the previous seasons. Instead of characters making rational decisions based on their established motivations, they were doing utterly stupid things in service of getting plot device A to position B to set up the ending.

Also we've gone from a position where anyone could be offed at any time to characters cheating apparent doom in the most preposterous ways because they're needed for the finale.

These are police reported injuries/deaths. Given that most cyclists that ride into people (and I've seen this twice this week outside my office with deliveroo riders running red lights into people) just ride off after smashing into a pedestrian, what are you meant to report?

If cyclists are ace and no danger to anyone (which I'm sure the vast majority are ...just not the central London bike couriers), what's the problem with having a token licence (£1 a year), cycling proficiency pass and a number plate or you're not allowed on the road?

This is a normal post I wonder what the map would look like
if it only showed cyclists who died undertaking a lorry at a junction?

Apparently it is one of the major causes of cycling deaths.

I am willing to bet even showing all cyclist deaths caused by another vehicle would not make a map with many features.

If the map was fairly empty that would mean there is not a problem of cyclist deaths, right?

Or is that map meaningless?

I suspect the latter.

This is a normal post I wonder what the map would looked like if the author had bothered to research even the basics

All that image does is show you where the major urban centres are and some highlights of the road network, it does absolutely nothing to explain the underlying data.
