Zone 1-9 travelcard is £407pm for public transport.
The only profitable part of TFL was the tube - it paid for pretty much everything else. But passenger numbers crashed over covid and haven’t completely recovered, so the tube isn’t (as) profitable anymore, so TFL is running out of cash.
Top commenter is right. He doesn’t have a fish name, so he’ll never be the First Minister in my eyes.
It doesn’t matter for steam. 2 hours in the menu is still playtime
In my experience, there’s still a good chance of them refunding it as long as you haven’t gone too far over the two hours
Drink more water and eat plenty of food with high fibre (fiber) in it.
It was the 1800's everyone was
Yeah, it was a crazy time for drugs. Back then you used to be able to buy heroin as cough medicine lol:
CPR won’t help a traumatic head injury.
Yeah, but a lot of basic first aid training essentially teaches:
What the fuck. Why the hell is that even happening in the first place?
Kids are used by criminals to carry contraband (weapons and drugs), because they’re much less likely to be suspected of crimes, and when they are suspected of carrying contraband it forces the police into a no-win situation - either don’t search the child and potentially let them go with weapons/drugs (where they could harm themselves or others), or search them and get dragged through the mud in the media (usually regardless of whether they find anything or not). Kids under 10 are often used because they can’t be prosecuted (the age of criminal responsibility in the UK is 10).

They’re pro-outrage.
Could an entire town go for squatter rights?
It’s illegal to squat in residential property, but current/former tenants aren’t legally considered squatters - squatters are people who enter (and then remain in) the property without permission.
What metrics did they use?
One of the side effects of having an absolutely overwhelmed police, court and prison system - more cases are being dealt with via out of court disposals when they should not, and more offenders are being released when they shouldn’t be, because the system simply doesn’t have the capacity to deal with them the proper way.
Why would an 8 year old need to be strip searched . Jts below the age of criminal responsibility

Banning substances is one of those things that successive governments are apparently allowed to just ignore the evidence on and do what feels right. When has criminalization and prohibition of anything worked? Is that even controversial anymore to say it doesn't work?
For me the biggest thing is having public transport that can get you from one side of the city to the other without having to change at the bus station. I'm on the south side and if I want to go to Bradgate Park it's about a 3 hour round trip because there's no circular routes around the city.
And public transport that gets people around regularly
