Was it because of immigrants? No wait. Was it because they stole our bendy bananas. No wait. Was it because they stole our blue passports? No wait. Was it because they forced the metric system upon us? No wait. Was it so we could join the CPTPP? Was it so Boris could PM? Was so the Tories...

1.2M vehicles on the DVLA database are ULEZ exempt because they’re historic vehicles. The percentages of percentages get smaller and smaller the more you look into it.

The other ultimate irony about Uxbridge being up in arms about ULEZ’s is that it was the former mayor of London who came up with the idea and set the wheels in motion for the next mayor to take over. That former mayor of course being one Boris Johnson, their outgoing MP.

Only about 40% of the cars on the road are older than 10 years and only a percentage of them will be diesel, so you’re talking about a percentage of a percentage. I’d also bet that London bucks that trend compared to the rest of the UK precisely because it does have a ULEZ and has done for...

It’s a stop gap. It’s worked too in its objective. The BMJ say the evidence is irrefutable, it’s improved the health of people who live in the zones.

I wonder how many people who like to get all angry about ULEZ actually drive a non compliant car. Not many I bet. As older older vehicles inevitably get phased out just because they do ULEZ are going to become almost redundant. The thing I find strange is that this is the constituency that got...

That will undoubtedly be a disappointment for them. But the Selby result was massive even by by-election standards. Overturning a 20K majority is not something you see very often.

Lib Dem’s were always the favourite to win Frome. Apparently Sarah Dyke has been treated like a local MP for months so sure was the community that she would be the next MP. She had a full caseload before the election and is hitting the ground running. Not sure where people are getting Labour...

Unless you’re a banker.

Couldn’t tell you but along with fixed cameras pretty much every police vehicle has one. The fixed ones tend to be strategically placed where they’ll generate the most income so areas where there’s high amounts of traffic, roads leading to areas there’s possibly a high concentration of motoring...

So many ANPR cameras around these days it isn’t knowingly taking the risk. You haven’t even got to be pulled over.

I suddenly have the urge to watch Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby.

Just dressing rooms this time. We seem to be getting our feet under the table again. https://www.ccfc.co.uk/news/2023/july/news-coventry-city-to-transform-dressing-rooms-at-the-coventry-building-society-arena/

I caught a headline in the Express yesterday that said Brexit win for fishermen, at last I thought so I read the article. It was very vague on what the win was but did mention the introduction of Remote Electronic Monitoring. So I googled Remote Electronic Monitoring Fishing to get a clearer...

So Coutts had no problem being associated with a Brexit campaigner. They did with a Putin apologists though. Well that and the fact that lord haw haw no longer had the finances to qualify for the bank account he thinks he’s entitled too.

Even right wing on right wing. GB News cancelled Guto Harri after he took the knee following the abuse the black England players took online after missing penalties. Didn’t matter that he’s a pro brexit, anti immigration Tory firmly on the right. Snowflakes.

I thought it might be when I saw what the Mail and the Telegraph were putting on their front page this morning. Trying to reignite the Ferage bank story.

The one thing we’ve always been world beating in. Making good music that exports well. It’s just a shame that Boris declined taking up the option of reciprocal FOM for musicians with the EU. One very simple policy Starmer could announce to aid a successful industry.
