In coming days/weeks, it will be interesting to see how #yellowvest movement views allocating funds to repairing #NotreDameCathedal - a building deemed the soul of France. Will prioritising it over social spending provoke a new flashpoint?
This is a very interesting perspective comparing Prime Ministerial responses to New Zealand’s shooting attack from a Kiwi living in India economictimes.indiatimes.com/blogs/et-comme
#auspol in 2018 produced this inquiry lasting six months: “The review - agreed in a deal between the Turnbull government and One Nation - found the public broadcasters competed fairly in the marketplace and abided by their charters.”

If we had to summarise this sordid tale in a single phrase, it’s this: the origin story of the world’s largest, angriest, anti-cyclist Facebook group, and the cyclist that’s behind it. Maybe. Buckle up.

This morning, I quite literally awoke to literary disaster. Sadly, not a novel story. #sanfrancisco @ San Francisco, California instagram.com/p/Bl3VlirDmB3/
Watching ‘04 #TdF I rode up Alpe d’Huez, got stuck at top. Didn’t anticipate how early road would close. Met a super nervy Brit in same situation. Poor bloke eventually admitted he’d planned a picnic proposal to his girlfriend that day. Likely not 1st time cycling ruined romance.
What a day of bike racing.

Um, India and Pakistan are literally ringing each other's doorbells at night and then running away.
