    That's the plan yes, but unfortunately some schools have not been sent enough to deliver this.

    Again, some schools are running this better than others.

    Different schools are running things differently. I am glad you used the tests, but they were strictly speaking optional. Lateral flow tests have a very high false negative rate, p…

    I am not. This is first hand information for me. Nothing I have said contradicts your link either.

    Depends if the lock-downs are at your doorstep or at the border. The UK had a few opportunities to pursue a zero covid strategy but squandered them all.

    The mass testing story is not what you think it is. The tests are optional, self administered, self reported, only available to staff (not students) in many cases and have a 50% fa…

    Painted bike lanes do not feel safe enough to most potential cyclists so they don't lead to much modal shift.

    We can't all drive though. There is not physically enough space in an urban environment. If you don't provide good alternatives - cycling is one, trains and buses are also key - th…

    I listened to your source, but I'm afraid it wasn't very convincing. The evidence they presented was an ambulance driver who had to go around a modal filter via side-streets to get…

    True, but adults need around 30 mins exercise per day anyway so we can take the carbon budget from that.

    It is very flat, but it's also quite wet and VERY windy. The Netherlands would not be the best place to cycle if it weren't for the infrastructure that they chose to build.

    You are not alone. Transport for London found safety concerns as the biggest reason people do not cycle in London. Interestingly, many people who do cycle also considered it too da…

    Build a portfolio whose value is in some way connected to their share price. Buy shares, hold them, sell later would be one example.

    I don't approve of tax loopholes that large corporates abuse to pay an effective lower rate. However, as an individual we can't change this. My (extremely cynical) advice is to hit…
