If you want to be upfront about something, put it in the title. I opened this but can't help because it 's on that AI - infested mess.

“We have not been charged with, nor convicted of, any terrorism offence,” said Malik. “At no point during our trial did the prosecution seek to pursue anything to do with terrorism, and the jury were kept completely in the dark and were not told that if convicted, we could be sentenced as terrorists.”

It seems like this an add- on too.

In fac, the judges might be true, but believe they have no alternative to following corrupt rules set by politicians.

I remember the spycops trial.

Different government, possibly different rules for prosecutors, or maybe even laws?

I wonder which government's Home Office did this: Sunak or Starmer? Both big AI fans, it seemed.

Barclays is bad at negotiating with repairers, or is taking a cut.

Wow. Have you tried the other legal routes first, such as getting a second opinion, asking for a referral to specialist care for the back, hip or the pain, switching doctors if you don't get on with your current ones, and/or seeking a private consultation with any likely-looking workplace, trade union or commercial doctor near you? Going private wouldn't be cheap, but might be cheaper than getting caught with controlled meds in some sort of sting.

The NHS is a wonderful thing, but sometimes people don't seem to realise that the GP you are currently registered with is not the only option. They go ask the GP, get turned away, then just take matters into their own hands.

Aren't they talking about the Transilien trains? Whatever it's a Paris fail having so many routes on different tickets.

In some places it's so the operator will charge you less for a short journey.

I don't remember. Less than a year ago, if the blog post is accurate about its scope. It's also likely that there is outdated instructions still online and it's possible to install the old compatibility app unnecessarily.

Bimba is almost 3 in most places, using the Transitous API as its back end.

 

Five-million Farage has flounced out of parliament in order to pause the investigations into his alleged corruption, but other major parties are refusing to contest the resulting by-election, potentially leaving him facing Count Binface as his biggest rival. With the British public's love of the underdog and refusing to do what's expected - remember Boaty McBoatface? - I wouldn't bet against it being Count Binface MP soon.

 

Andy Burnham picks fossil fuel lobbyist James Purnell as chief of staff. Just in case you thought energy policy might improve.

Liveable Streets gets a 2.0 — the book has been updated by the son of the original author. Sarah Goodyear interviews him.

 

"The Hill of Hysteria" is one to re-use. He also hints at doing a "safety in numbers" videe in future. Great stuff.

 

Caroline Seton is the co-founder of the London bike share firm Forest.

They’re in unambiguous second place to Lime, the great global bicycle behemoth - but, famously, being second makes a firm try harder.

In today’s episode, we talk about the challenges of being a shared mobility firm in a municipal environment, the realities of whether cities actually want sustainable transport and the changes she would make to transport policy.

Above all - more bike parking and less car parking please!

Not quite transport but I suspect some of us use car hire to fill in the gaps.

 

Another floundering politician tries a bit of bike-bashing? When will they learn it doesn't work?

 

A story of Seattle. What can your town learn from this? Any of it not ring true for you? Do you know Seattle? Does it match your view?

From December 13, cabins will begin carrying passengers across Limeil-Brévannes in Val-de-Marne, a suburb long served only by buses. The 4.5-kilometre route, with five stations, will take just 18 minutes end to end. Residents say they are eager to try the quiet, comfortable cabins.

 

There are lots of buses, but they’re just not organized in a very sensible way and don’t run very frequently or reliably. I’ve talked about this before, but I think the big reason cycling has taken off the way it has in Montreal is because the city also has such a weak bus system.

Same in many cycling towns in England, even though level take-up is limited by lack of new infrastructure.
