Thank you for this great expose on Belsize Village’s successful revitalisation! – at London, England
“We now have a village square we can be proud of!” This week, we were shown around Belsize Village and it’s beautiful “Streatery”, and came away feeling totally inspired. We’d arranged to meet Bob Stephenson-Padron OBE. Bob is a truly dapper force of nature. He runs a … 1/21

Bucha. It was a genocide, recognized by everyone. They buried hundreds of people. They tortured people. We found the grave. There were, I believe, around 500 people. When we liberated those towns near Kyiv, there emerged this, you know, this kind of hatred for the Russians, right at that moment. Not even at the moment when they started the full-scale war. Back then nobody understood what it really was yet. People understood what this war was and what Putin did personally when we found those mass graves of tortured adults, children. I mean they didn't just kill them, they tortured and killed them. When we liberated Bucha, I said, bring every journalist here. Don't touch anything, just bring the journalists. The whole world simply has to see this. Imagine finding a mass grave in the U.S. or in Britain, God forbid, with 500 tortured people, adults, kids, dogs, animals shot dead. I mean, they held hunting sprees there from military vehicles. People were running, they were shooting, just hunting, playing games. They literally just played with people, like slavery. So how, after this, can you listen to Putin? And how, after this, can you forgive? From The Diary of a CEO podcast with Steven Bartlett. (2/3)

Cutting red tape is always helpful but it needs to be focused not just on admin but the regulations which really add costs to consumers, the unnecessary cost of doing business which prevent job creation and investment and it needs to be on top of meaningful cuts to tax

I've been visiting my family and grandchildren in Belper for 5 years. Sick of seeing years old tagging in this town. Today I took my work trolley and went round removing tags stickers and cable ties for about 3 hrs. Well worth doing

Dear councils, 97% of UK meadows are gone. So if you have wildflowers like ox-eye daisies on roadverges and in public spaces, don't spray them with weedkiller or over-mow them. Let's give pollinating insects like bees and butterflies a chance 🐝

Being civilised is a rare skill these days so we’ll make it easier for those who can’t manage. Bench cracks are not bins. Bins are bins.

There are bins right next to where people are littering. The bins are not an issue in the village. Poor manners are the issue.
Replying to @BelsizeVillage
I’ve spoken to heads of ‘street cleansing’ so often about this. Why, when smoking indoors was outlawed were there not mandatory outside bins?

The Belsize Village Business Association cleaned Belsize Place tonight. The village is better litter free. Please throw your litter, especially cigarette butts, in a bin or take it home with you. – at London, England

Littering from smokers has gotten out of control this year. Cigarette butts are toxic plastic pollution that blight communities, kill wildlife and pollute our water. Littering is disgusting and illegal. Throw your cigarette butts in a bin (water drains are not bins!). – at London, England

Throwback to an interview I did for the @HamandHigh 11 years ago! The great thing is that since then, the @BelsizeVillage Business Association (founded in 2018) has taken great strides to recognise the unrecognised maintenance and utility workers who serve our area! I of course retract my comments about Vanier but still huge supporter of any work serving those with special needs. – at London, England

Our thoughts are with the family and friends of PC Matthew Blades and PC Tom Clough and all our colleagues at Cleveland Police. We know their loss will be acutely felt across the policing family, particularly by those who had the privilege of serving alongside both officers. We are thinking of them and all those impacted by this tragic incident at this unimaginably difficult time.

One of our quickest policy successes as @harryph discussed ….
The UK’s al fresco experiment, started in July 2020 in Belsize Village by the Belsize Village Business Association amidst the assent of Business and Planning Act 2020, is going strong! Chiswick right now. May it continue! 🌞
