Asked why they were on Mr Corbyn's roof, Mr Smith said: "He's in a position where he can hold the government to account."

Justice for men and boys....what a bunch of cry babies.

He once claimed that men struggled to be heard in parliament

Daily Mail apparently only does sensitivity when it involves rich white English people, but hey ho - thought this was interesting nonetheless

Some good news for a change:
https://www.transportxtra.com/publications/local-transport-today/news/49775/rising-traffic-welcomed-by-the-dft-as-a-sign-that-the-economy-is-growing

Hmmmm

Quite apart from the widespread view that DfT estimates are nonsense, that traffic levels rise does not need to mean at all that 'the economy' is 'growing'. It could mean instead that people are having to travel further and further because the state of the economy is such that they can't do business in a more efficient way with more local contacts, whether they're going about their private household business or running/working for a business themselves. For instance, people might be having to travel further and further to access jobs.

It's actually very easy to generate traffic/vehicle miles; all you have to do is to increase geographic dissociation (not hard with our current planning system and the Government's tendency to favour big business operating from very few sites) and hey presto! you'll get the vehicle miles no problem.

Data of decent quality is almost impossible to come by, though. A lot more qualitative/geographically indexed research is needed to find out what really happens when you talk about movement.

Could someone explain how you descend onto the summit of a hill? Are they parachuted in?

adds 'an interest in keeping fit' to list of things that identify you as 'hipster'. more power to them.

It's a local hill for local people...

"Normal" local people.

How does a normal person descend to the summit of a hill?

Australia.

so the story is 'people are exercising in a local park'.

'people are exercising in a publicly accessible park that entitled, wealthy locals seem to think belongs to them by sheer dint of the fact that they can afford to live nearer to it than most'

To descend isnt just about gravity. It can also be used to describe a sudden attack/invasion/incursion. It can also be used to describe a deterioration in something.

For example:
Every Tuesday hoardes of grubby cyclists descend on the Flask at the top of Highgate West Hill. After several beers the conversation descends into garbage. Then they descend the hill to ride home.
