RUNNING SCARED - Pro-#Trump News Organisations are FRANTICALLY rowing back on 'Fraud' Claims after being threatened with multiple lawsuits by Voting Machine companies #Smartmatic and #Dominion.

One #NewsMax host, John Tabacco, embarrassingly had to read out a statement saying :

“There are several facts our viewers and readers should be aware,”

... before debunking a long list of conspiracy theories, mostly from himself.
#Fox Business host and full-time tinfoil hat wearer Lou Dobbs had to do the same thing, through gritted teeth ...

The most ridiculous article ever on #Cycling in #London appeared in the increasingly absurd Tory Weekly, The @spectator ... by Paul Burke. (@paulburkeradio) - an advertising copywriter.

And it's just so laughable it deserves a thread to debunk it's idiocy. Image
@spectator @paulburkeradio "Of course cycling is inherently right-wing"

He's not even trying to be ironic. He means it.

The 'Right Wing' can claim to ownership of many activities .. cycling is not one of them.

I have no data either way but my experience is that cyclists tend to be centre or left-ish. Image
@spectator @paulburkeradio Cyclists apparently "terrorise motorists with violently bright and flashing lights .."

Not ever seen this. Ever..

Perhaps he means legally safe, approved and recommended lighting, ideal for catching the attention distracted car drivers on their phones .... Image

Seeing as the 'Anti-Woke' lot (i.e. Lawrence Fox) think that the Vicar of Dibley is actually the Communist AntiChrist (or something) let's celebrate it with my 4 favourite Xmas moments from Dawn French and Emma Chanbers. Enjoy :-)

Very proud that ‘Bianchi Aficionado’ have featured my classic rebuilt Specialissimo on Instagram today and I did an interview a few days ago with an Italian Vintage Cycling magazine for next month’s issue.

Both amazed that I ride this 50-year-old piece of history every day.
@jdpoc ... and now to rebuild my other little bit of history, a late 1970s BMW R80, which I bought as a frame, a pair of wheels, a separate engine from a different bike, and four boxes of parts.
@jdpoc ... for £65, by the way :-)

#Brexit : Whatever Johnson's bluster today about 'continued negotiations' one thing is clear :

The EU's red lines (set in stone since 2016) are immutable.

The UK refuses to accept being locked into to the EU regulations.

To do so would be to effectively abandon Brexit. Image
The two positions are at odds, and neither will move.

The EU will not, for protection of the 27 ... and the UK will not, for it's isolationist ideology.

There is no chance of any such deal, be they to 'negotiate' until the 37th of Never, and thus, No Deal it will be. Image
This is the inevitable consequence of the UK carrying out a Brexit Referendum promising 37 different versions to multiple different groups of voters ...

... and then after 4 years not even being sure NOW which version of #Brexit the UK even wants. Image

Apparently a true story from Nebraska, USA.

A High School Principal gave every student - close to 500 of them - a blue balloon and told them to write their name on it them blow it up. They were then collected and dumped in this corridor.

At this point, the photo was taken.
He told the students to find their own balloon.

After a hour, only 19 of students had done so.

And it was complete chaos.
THEN he told the students to file into the corridor one by one, grab ANY balloon, head out to the car park and find the PERSON whose name was on the balloon.

After 23 minutes, every student had their balloon back.
