Unless you 'looked funny'.

Sadly, I suspect they'll get an education in further barbarity and general criminality.

See also Melbourne > Grove. This. If every street was given control of whether or not 'their' road should be open to traffic, then we'd have to ban cars from London entirely. It's the worst kind of nimbyism. The Council should make some strategic decisions based on what's in the wider interest of all their constituents. Not just cow tow to those with the loudest voices. Currently, there is a disproportionate amount of consideration given to people with clear, vested interests.

A terrible pastiche. So characterless.

:-(

Hit the nail on the head Loz. It's all fairly grim.

The bridge was only made 1-way because of structural issues. We were told at that time that the 1-way was only temporary. It later became permanent. Then it closed completely and we were told it would be reopened. Wonder what will happen? Network Rail have been allowed to get away with negligence for years as it's suited the council's agenda and the narrow interests of some vocal Grove residents. The consultation is irrelevant.

This road was 'temporarily' (the claim at the time) reduced to one way traffic as the result of Network Rail's negligence. Why aren't the council insisting that NWR do the repairs properly and fully and return the road to two way traffic as it is meant to be. Why wasn't this chased up as a matter of urgency years ago. Instead, it's been allowed to deteriorate further and now may never reopen, or at best, be returned to the 'temporary' state of one way traffic.

Absolutely ridiculous. It's taken years for Network Rail to 'fix' this, which actually they haven't (as it's still only able to accommodate 1-way traffic). They should be heavily fined for the disruption they've caused. The council shouldn't be consulting on whether the road should be partially opened. Ask any road's residents whether they'd like their street closed to traffic, and a large number will say yes. Clearly, those on the street are going to respond in the greatest numbers, skewing the likely outcome. It's a way for the Council to avoid making difficult decisions and avoiding accountability.

Boris is a disgrace. there are plenty of politicians whose views I disagree with, but who I still respect. Boris however, believes in absolutely nothing, except Boris. The fact that he is still in such a prominent position just shows how broken our political culture has become. A man so unprincipled should have vanished from the political mainstream long ago.

The internet has led to everyone having far too much confidence in their own opinion. As Gove famously said, ?we?ve had enough of experts?. But of course it's delusional to think that some people's arguments should not hold more weight than others because they are more informed. The problem with the internet is that no matter how wrong your view, you can connect with whole communities of people who will validate your perspective. This is what leads to 'post truth' politics, to Trump, to Brexit. Very depressing. Best to get drunk and forget about it.

Poor storage though. No where to put a bag.

There are problems with the lack of affordable housing and high rents. But it's too easy to blame these problems on 'incomers'.

Anyone see 'Brexit Reality' on Channel 4 last night? It demonstrated two things: You should never underestimate how ill informed some people are, and think very carefully before visiting Wakefield.

I don't understand why people who have moved into an area aren't considered 'part of the community'. After how long are they designated part of the community? If someone moved in 10 years ago for example - are they still an interloper? The issue with rents is part of a wider issue of dysfunctional property and land values.

Agree with you both Blah and Loz. I'm guessing that Khan is relying on the fact that Uber will now make some concessions and be able to continue operating.

People going to a live event and then watch it through their phone. Urggghghghghhhhhh.

With each new model, the gains are becoming more and more marginal. Waterproof phones are good and the camera on the iPhone 7 takes very good portraits. But let's face it, most phones now do more than you need them too already. I mean how many apps do you regularly use - about 10% of them at most?

Despite the high number of Indian restaurants on the Lane, there isn't really a great, standout one in my opinion. I've had good and bad experiences at most. I do agree that Barbur is pretty good (although it's been a long time since I got a curry from there).

Johnson is a fecking disgrace

Manson dog can feck oof. I miss H&G

What about the radio 'stars'. Hardly a competitive market there (BBC are dominate). With an almost limitless supply of talented young people looking to get a foot in the door, it's hard to see how some of these people are genuinely being paid a market rate.

Salaries will only rise further now in light of pay gap. The radio hosts are the most surprising. What's the market there exactly? Hardly high level of competition.
