    It's mad that it's not equal, if mothers and fathers have equal childcare leave there's no need to discriminate against hiring women full time (which is a thing that still happens, some companies don't like to take women in their mind 20s full time cos they end up taking maternity, I saw this happen first hand while I was in RBS, that was only 2 jobs/a few years ago)

    Personally I'd just legislate that these cycling/scooter schemes need to come with actual racks to put the bikes instead of just some painted box on the floor.

    Check out what they do in Barcelona, they have a huge cycling scheme and never have this problem.

    So in Barcelona they have a fantastic cycling service (bicing), there are racks that lock the bikes automatically, and all bikes have to be left in a rack. Using an app, you can see where all the bikes are and where all of the open bike rack spaces there are. Because they are locked up, people can't just take them out and start riding them (ever heard a clicky lime bike? They're easy to pinch).

    The problem isn't the lime bikes themselves, it's the execution of the storage plan, leave them in this spot and send a photo of it parked clearly isn't cutting it, just put some fucking racks in so they can be kept tidy.

    Green 43.8% Lib dem 31.3% (surprised me somewhat) Labour 18.8% (also surprised me somewhat) Tory 6.3% (it was the pension question, and that's the Tories target demographic, so makes sense, don't lambast me for that)

    I'll be voting labour though as reform are polling higher than Tory and greens in my constituency, and they really need to stay the fuck out.

    Looking at their own site, it's made in webflow (advertised as "make a website with no code"). It's a GUI, there's no actual web development happening here. Fucking joke that this cost 100k, the business license for webflow is ~£40 a month, though they could have got away with making this site on a basic license.

    There's no tech bros in the Tory party really, they clearly don't understand tech at all, it's why we keep getting shafted when they give out all our money and get nothing back.
