This is a stunning failure by the UK’s
public funders to continue to
support NCRI. No more joint planning, no more clinical study groups, etc. Following the demise of England cancer plan this is yet another colossal strategic failure @AggarwalOnc @WHO @UKIGlobalCancer
Important news: NCRI is winding down after 22 remarkable years. Read more about this difficult decision here.

#duolingoupdate Does Duolingo ever consult its customers - or are they too busy playing. First they got rid of discussions (where real learning happened) and now they have turned it into a a kid's game. Did Elon Musk buy it when we weren't looking?

Stuart Silvester explains why Low Traffic Neighbourhood barriers are the final straw which will close this much loved shop. See the full 3 min 45 sec interview at One St Mary’s bit.ly/3wPmw5q #LTNs #Onestmarys #EastOxford
Priority Postbox sealed shut "due to LTN disruption" on local roads in East Oxford. Council policies fail to deliver! #LTN #Onestmarys #Oxford

We know LTNs create longer car journeys outside the area, but what about inside an LTN? In 3 real life East Oxford examples carbon emissions rise by a fifth at best and treble at worst. OxfordshireCC policies are polluting not green! #onestmarys #carbon bit.ly/37RAbPy
Everyone in East Oxford should see this before next Thursday. #EastOxford #onestmarys
There have been a lot of videos made by people opposing the LTNs etc, but this must be one of the absolute best. We can definitely diagnose some of Oxford's Labour and LibDem councillors with Hubris Syndrome!

For safer streets enforce speed limits and slow traffic neighbourhoods. No #LTN road barriers needed. See John Skinner’s pitch at #onestmarys #oxford bit.ly/3kozn7J
Parchments Print leaving East Oxford after 40 years “due to the LTNs and restricted parking”. I used to cycle to pick up my order. Now someone wil drive 10 miles to deliver. LTNs – adding pollution & literally driving businesses out of town. #onestmarys #ltns #reconnectingoxford

The LTN planned for St Mary’s will channel delivery lorries past a nursery school. Some side streets may find they have more traffic not less. If you don’t properly consult, the law of unintended consequences will come back to bite you

Sometimes we have to learn to share roads and behave nicely with each other. #oxfordltns #onestmarys @onestmarys

Sylvester's has been family run for 120 years - a cherished hardware treasure trove in East Oxford. Suppliers & customers need road access but barriers will make it heavy going. Is the Council listening? #LTNs #onestmarys #reconnectingoxford #eastoxford

Generations of families have been fascinated by the exotic fish at the Goldfish Bowl in East Oxford. Now it feels under threat. Will customers navigate the road barriers or get caught in the LTN net? #onestmarys #reconnectingoxford

A one way system for Oxford City Ring Road? Could this really work? nextdoor.co.uk/p/gkpwM29kQc8…
We've lost our language mods. Duolingo has scrapped its highly valued forums and seems to have wiped all adverse comment from its online presence. Censorship in any language.

Travelling by train Edinburgh to Oxford. LNER offered 60p off cost of coffee and sandwich if I added a chocolate bar. GWR offering deals if you buy multiple beers or wine. Come on guys - try to keep your customers alive not derail healthy diets! #FoodWasteActionWeek

If you want to study the inside of a modern camera, try a double decker bus. My Panasonic GH5 slid from my shoulder as the bus pulled away. For a mad moment I thought it would resist. The crunch will live with me: the deconstructed camera not so much. #Camerabash #Lumix

The UK is not a low-income country seeking sanitation solutions. The solution is here, but the industry that administers it has allowed its own infrastructure to crumble and engages in illegal dumping. It is sickening, literally. Please watch #Rivercide and act locally. #water
