MARK CAVENDISH equals Eddy Mercks, the greatest cyclist of all time on 34 Stage Wins in the Tour De France.

Give him a Knighthood.

Now.
Take THAT, Wall Street Journal !!!
This is the hardest sport in the world. Period.

Neutral fans - yes, even the French - love Mark Cavendish.

Race organisers love him. He shows so much joy and passion.
Such a great ambassador for the sport.

The media have had a love/hate relationship with him in the past. Well , they love him now.
Cavendish average speed over the last 200m -

57.1kph == 35.5mph.
I love that @itvcycling have ended their coverage today with Daft Punk's 'One More Time'.

'One More Time' indeed.

In Paris ? On the Champs-Élysées ? Where Cav has won 4 times before ?

It's not unthinkable.

.@MattJukesMPS : See thread.

Explain again how you are 'under-resourced' and 'misunderstood' and 'always using proportional force' ?

(Your boos Cressida Dick appears not to be on Twitter. One can guess why.)
@MattJukesMPS .@MattJukesMPS @metpoliceuk

NOW do you understand what people mean when they carry these signs ?

And you want MORE POWERS ? ImageImageImageImage

Geared-up police forcing entry with all their toys. Armed Siege ? No. Drugs Bust ? No. Terror Cell ? Weapons Factory ? No. Image
It's a Collective Art Studio run by a Charity and police are busting in to remove a perfectly legal but "satirical and subversive" abstract sculpture on the roof connected with Extinction Rebellion. Image
Here's the video. See how many go in. I count 41.

For a sculpture.

Yup - The Tories are authorising police to tear down sculptures.

Workshop ransacked, three arrested then released with no charge.

More Legal woes for #Trump :

#Arizona Sec State is calling on state Att Gen Brnovich to investigate #Trump and his allies for attempting to make contact with Election Supervisors in #Maricopa County in the weeks following the November election.

That's a felony.

That's jail.

In the aftermath of the Christian #Eriksen incident during the #Denmark versus #Finland #Euro2020 game, Danish TV and media are highlighting the actions of team captain Simon Kjaer.

1/-.
@jdpoc it was Kjaer who cleared Erickson’s airways, ensuring his tongue was not blocking his breathing, and placed him in the recovery position.

2/-.
@jdpoc It was also Kjaer who called for paramedics as well as team physios, instantly recognising the seriousness of the problem.

Neo Nazi Andrew Dymock found GUILTY of 12 offences under Terrorism Acts.

Convicted at the Old Bailey, sentencing 24 June.

During trial he came up with the craziest, most unhinged 'defence' arguments ever heard in a British Court.

Nobody fell for it.

buff.ly/3vjw6tc
Jurors were told he was not being prosecuted for holding racist, anti-Semitic or homophobic beliefs, or adherence to a neo-Nazi creed.

"He is facing prosecution for his encouragement of terrorist activity, of violence, as a means to shape society in accordance with his beliefs."
39.
39 Neo Nazis / White Supremacists / Far Right Extremists arrested, charged or jailed under the Terror Acts so far in 2021.

The total for 2020 was 42 for the whole year.

Security Services have finally woken up to their responsibilities.

Late night tech tip that I’ve just discovered :

if you’re thinking of installing some OCR software on your iOS or Android, don’t. I’ve just been playing around with Google Lens, which is built into Google Photos.

So if you have a Gmail address, you already have it.
@jdpoc … And Google Photos with Lens seems to outperform a lot of specialised OCR applications.

Text at an angle with reflections? No problem. Image
@jdpoc Some text is straight and the rest is curved? No problem. Image
