when i lived in the uk there was this bollard in the middle of a bike path near me. it was cloud gray and around a bend, so in the wonderful uk weather was practically invisible 23 hours a day. people were constantly hitting it, kids especially. after calling the works maintenance people (assuming it maybe had been painted at some point), i did the whole talk to your councilor thing (super fun as a foreigner who was reminded constantly i wasnt a real resident a dozen times per interaction), and they said it was how it was supposed to be and painting it would be an eyesore (in england, shudder at the thought) and removing it would be a safety hazard, because i guess it kept the worlds smallest car from driving onto a meter wide bike path from the middle of the mile wide mud field beside it

also he reminded me at every opportunity that no one rides bikes anyway, despite however many hundreds of people i saw using this thoroughfare from my flat everyday

so i wrapped some reflective safety tape around it, and heard way less people eating asphalt for awhile. then one day the tape was gone, and soon i got a letter about interfering in public spaces. a month later they solved the problem. by putting up two more unpainted, invisible, thin metal poles in the path on either side of it, so it was impossible to ride any bike through

Home Office staff threaten mutiny over ‘shameful’ Rwanda asylum deal

On an intranet noticeboard civil servants drew a comparison with serving under Adolf Hitler, and asked if they had a duty to ‘resist’
[...]
Another stated: “Can the permanent secretary and seniors give staff any advice on coping with our conscience with these sort of policies? I don’t feel safe telling people I work for the Home Office any more and now just make up a nondescript role in another government department when asked what I do for a job.”

Ever more, I notice the Tories will say whatever as long as someone cheers for it. They're the party for policies with vocal supporters.

Labour's providing the other option, they're the party for policies with no supporters.

As I've said; he apparently enthusiastically wants to gently caress consenting adult human women, which makes him an almost unique catch among the british upper class
