Forcing cyclists to display number plates would be impractical, minister warned
Transport Secretary Grant Shapps has been widely condemned after announcing a plan which could force cyclists to display registration plates. His plan could involve a requirement for cyclists to display number plates and buy insurance, as well as face prosecution for breaking road speed limits. “Particularly where you’ve got 20mph limits on increasing numbers of roads, cyclists can easily exceed those, so I want to make speed limits apply to cyclists. Do you need registration plates and insurance? While local authorities can impose speed limits on cyclists, it has been rarely done.

14-yr-olds could ‘self-declare’ legal sex under proposed German law
Children as young as 14 will be allowed to change their first name and legal sex through self-declaration in Germany. The German Government’s proposed Self-Determination Act would remove the current requirements of two doctors’ reports and a court order. Minors between the ages of 14 and 18 will require approval from parents or the ruling of a family court, while parents will need to apply on behalf of children younger than 14. Little oppositionThe regulation will impose fines whenever a person’s true sex is disclosed without their permission. The Government also intends to propose legislation later this year to legalise the sale of cannabis for recreational purposes.

WORSE THAN EVER: 22 Motor Vehicle Burglaries in Darien on Three Nights Last Week - Darienite
Darien Police report an eye-popping 22 motor vehicles were entered in town in the course of last week — every single one of them unlocked — with items taken from some. Police believe all of the vehicles were entered overnight, either on April 11 to 12, April 13 to 14 or April 14 to 15. When announcing the motor vehicle burglaries and car thefts from the week before, police added this statement: The Darien Police Department again cautions all residents to lock their vehicles at all times. The recent spate of motor vehicle burglaries and motor vehicle thefts all largely share one commonality; the vehicles were left unlocked and, in the case of stolen vehicles, the keys were left inside. Unrelated, but also involving vehicles last week in Darien: Darien officers responded to nine motor vehicle collisions during the week, four of which involved minor injuries.

We’re horrified by the rejection of Roe v Wade—but abortion is not a universal right in the UK
But although the region now has the most liberal abortion law in the UK, access to abortion is still far from solved. The lack of services in Northern Ireland means that pregnant patients must still travel to England if they want to access abortion care. Over the past decade patients, doctors, and campaigners have expressed concern about the increase of anti-abortion protests outside clinics. Their presence is distressing not only to patients accessing abortion care but also to those seeking healthcare after sexual assault or miscarriage or in other circumstances. The big question is whether the overturning of Roe v Wade poses a credible threat to abortion rights here in the UK.

Review: BBC National Orchestra of Wales & Tredegar Band
2022 BBC PromsConductors: Ryan Bancroft & Ian PorthouseRoyal Albert HallLondonMonday 8th August(Proms image: Mark Allan)For the BBC National Orchestra of Wales final BBC Prom, Ryan Bancroft conducted two large-scale works. Joined by Tredegar Band for the world premiere of Gavin Higgins' ‘Concerto Grosso for Brass Band and Orchestra’, they followed with Berlioz's ‘Symphonie Fantastique’. Social history and politicsHis ‘Concerto Grosso’ was a large-scale five movement work that explored brass band history and style; mixing social history with music and a smidgeon of politics. The final two movements moved away from banding's origins to band music itself.

But asked if they can get the win they need in the Philips Stadium, the Dutchman told BT Sport: “Of course we can get the victory. We said before the game that the differences aren’t that big and you saw that. “In the second half we made it 2-1 with a free kick from Tom. This is the level we want to compete and PSV are an excellent team and they showed it and we did as well. Colak played fine, he was very good and dangerous and gave the energy the team needed.

UK PM in waiting: brit workers lazy
“Once they enter the workplace, the British are among the worst idlers in the world,” they wrote. “We work among the lowest hours, we retire early and our productivity is poor. If you look at productivity, it’s very, very different in London from the rest of the country. If you go to China it’s quite different, I can assure you. If you look at productivity, it’s very, very different in London from the rest of the country.“But basically … this has been a historical fact for decades.

Paradigm for peace applied to Russia, Ukraine, and the US: Proposal for a peaceful pathway forward – Part 4J
Now domestic violence is another matter and it’s been a terrible problem in many Slavic nations and other nations, as well, such as in Afghanistan, where domestic violence has increased since the US invasion and occupation. The police routinely treat victims of domestic violence with “open hostility” and, considering the problem a “family matter,” refuse to investigate their complaints of domestic violence. In Ukraine, domestic violence has also been horrendous. [6] International Federation for Human Rights, “Round Table on November 19 in Paris: LGBTI+ Rights in Russia,” https://www.fidh.org.
