BBC's Nick Robinson correctly called Partygate "Lie Gate" in 'Political Thinking' on 7 May 2022 with Jacob Rees Mogg.
In 1997, Dudley MBC and the Canal and River Trust oversaw the most useless and incompetent canal restoration in (not so) heavenly Halesowen - putting water in the canal might now cause the whole canal embankment to collapse!!
The "Revolution of Dignity" is the overthrow of the fairly elected pro-Russian President of Ukraine in 2014 to kick off the killings; now escalated to the Ukraine War.
Russia's "special military operation" for its full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
Centenary Square was built, demolished, and rebuilt three times in less than 20 years - in this century. The latest version cost £16 m!
The free-flowing Brum inner ring road was demolished in three places to bring us all clogged-up traffic, lots of traffic lights and a greater distance to slowly drive on one-way streets!!
The canal at Selly Oak's Sainsbury's is safeguarded but these wealthy corporations and authorities could not finish it with water.
Matt's cartoon in the Telegraph with the delicious truth:
Tory banner on the side of a campaign bus: "CONSERVATIVES: Reducing crime by committing less of it."
(re the top party-goer who is the PM - Party Master - and head of government lying and law-breaking repeatedly over the shocking spate/flood of illegal Downing St parties, aka "gatherings"!)
My cartoon that needs the Telegraph's Matt-like skill to draw this:-
Transport officials peering down from a disused railway bridge upon a gridlocked motorway, scratching their heads & agonising about how to reduce congestion.
This refers to every tunnel, bridge and viaduct built over 120 Kms but 56 Kms in the middle are still without freight and passenger trains. Yet, it runs parallel or near, to traffic-choked main roads, M5 and M6!
'Ah! But you don't mention, Tim that trams must go on a total of 9 Kms', say the transport officials, as "Light rail investment provides the basis for restoring heavy rail services at the appropriate time."
However, the appropriate time has never come in 22 years. And how eccentric and weird to think that a principal mainline railway "of national strategic significance" can only be finished with the rather vital freight and passenger trains and stations, by first putting 22 mph Metro trams and 17 tram stops on two nibble sized sections!!
PHOTOS to be shocked or intrigued or be laughed over:
Over half a billion pounds of "bus on rails" Metro destroys the above half-finished 120 Kms Worcester to Derby railway and these trees, all for a stranded, 'shuttle' tramline on a former mainline railway that does not even connect with the two railway sections between Worcester and Derby, at either end. It is needed for freight trains, anyway. So what is the point of Metro?
Exactly where the mighty tram viaduct goes!
9. Laura Shoaf’s "passive provision" only means the same standard gauge for both trams and trains to magically enable the tramline on our 120 Kms Black Country Mainline Railway being upgraded to a full mainline railway, only after well over half a billion pounds has gone on the trams first.
10. It only took our politicians nearly 50 years to pay a £400m debt to Iran!
11. Canal boaters on a high, 400 metre embankment at Merry Hill will have their view of the hills obliterated by a massive concrete, double-track, railway viaduct for the railway of "national strategic significance" to be turned into a piddling little shuttle tram line - to nowhere!
12. The highly prestigious, wealth-flaunting, over-indulgent Metro tramline now blocks Broad Street and Five Ways underpass, to make buses join all the traffic on gridlocked side streets rammed with parked cars!
