I'm in no way offering advice, just my personal preference, having done 1k a week commuting on a tiger for a period of time I've just never been bitten by the adventure bike bug. I would happily, and probably will do a Euro tour on my Indian.

I had a KLE500 for a bit after I sold my Tiger 1050, it was a cracking lanes and back road bike but awful on the motorway, not enough grunt to keep up with traffic. You're a braver man than I to attempt 10k on one. Personally I would go for a cruiser every time, I just don't get adventure bikes.

Time for Andrew to come clean and name names, sending him to the US would never achieve that, he would just get a pardon or a suicide.

I mean, an employer is already required to get your NI number or proof of your right to work if you don't have one, how is a digital ID going to prevent dodgy employers remaining dodgy

In principle, I’m not actually automatically opposed to ID cards. However, from how the present UK government is going about this and related matters, it’s a straightforward nope, not on your life.

Petition: Require all MPs to publish their tax returns by law I think this would help ensure transparency, and should include information for the public to see on how much money MPs earn, where their income comes from, and whether they pay the correct amount of ...

This is a good idea. Needs quite a few more signatures though ...

Lobby for improvement.

What about kids in the system? Or kids with crap parents? Do we only care about nice middle class kids?

Because all kids are safe in nice middle class families with parents looking out for them....
That's just not a solution, it simply makes vulnerable kids easier targets
