Make buses free to use for all, ban all car journeys under 20 minutes (largely unenforceable, but it needs to be done), reduce subsidies on fuel and instead subsidise bicycles, micro mobility and accessible mobility, build bike lanes and safe pavements, allow zoning of more retail inside residential areas so cars are needed less day to day, encourage late hours retail, turn parking spaces into green spaces.

These policies would lead to cleaner air, hit our environment goals, less dependence on foreign fuel supplies, greener spaces, healthier population, therefore taking the strain off the NHS. It’ll create jobs as there will be more evening retail jobs, building infrastructure always improves the job market, and none of this is difficult to implement, none of it is costly, and all of it benefits the entire population of the country, not just London or the wealthy.

It’s a euphemism for “I heard you have oil, want!”

I wear shorts for most of the year. Using a urinal while wearing shorts, you realise how much piss splashes everywhere. Really not hygienic.

With that caveat that those preconceived notions were instilled by decades of right wing press that has propped up that same self serving troglodyte.
