In 2014, pedestrian deaths rose from 39 in October to 66 in November and 73 in December. Pedal cyclists deaths rose from 3 in October to 8 in November and 8 in December. The overall casualty rate increased from 637 per billion vehicle miles in October to 673 per billion vehicle miles in November, before falling back to 603 in December.

1. They will have picked "best" recent year to support their campaign.

2. October vs Nov Dec pedestrian deaths look suspicious

3. Cyclist change insignificant and how many had no lights & reflectors?

Missing:

1. how many in daylight?

2. how many pedestrian deaths on pavement or zebra/pelican(etc) crossings?

Who says the Germans don't have a GSOH? :)

Thanks, very amusing.

On Corbyn's more Bank Holidays. If I were forced to agree on another BH:

I nominate Battle of Britain day: 15 September. Weather usually still pleasant and a gap since last BH and next (Christmas). A bonus is it would annoy the Germans and we’d mention the war.

@SandyS Whatever it was, it's your fault
and you must make a sacrifice to put it right.

Re gardening and weather, I was only thinking today that less than a year ago I had a 3 hour detour on my way home due to flooding caused by a long period of heavy rain. This week when I did some gardening the soil was very dry due to a prolonged period of low rainfall. I put it down to weather, others may have more complex explanations.

Who watched the Green dreamers Party Election Broadcast ?
Full emotional blackmail, black and white film, Sad piano music
"Oh this world is sad , the Conservatives are horrible people (they don't help refugees, cut renewables !)
, Trump is a denier, this country is rich, surely we can magically fix everything"

my notes

It made me cry... cos of the disrespect for maths, science, fairness and grownup debate.

BTW it was inaccessible to the visually impaired

Labour and the Greens have a Money Tree Policy."

Harry Passfield. When will people distinguish between the BBC making its own reports and the BBC rewriting reports from other sources? In the instance you sight it was not Shukman who found the woman who had studied a tree; instead it was the Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) who did the study and Shukman was merely paraphrasing it. Typical cut and paste job.

Shukman, BBC news - "violent rain"

Makes it up to justify his prejudices.
