Discussion of dropping birth rates.

Relevant because as populations ages, fewer people are able to use bicycles and bikes lanes don't make sense.

Personally, I'm not sure whether bike/scooter lanes might make sense.

Yes I have two autistic children. Yes I took paracetamol in pregnancy. We get told it's the only 'safe' thing we *can* take.

"The U.S. Food and Drug Administration urges careful consideration before using any pain-relieving medication during pregnancy." is one of the more infuriating things I have read. You think I am taking pain relief for *fun*? I am taking it to *function*.

At one point I remember looking up through a migraine haze the likely effect of codeine on a developing brain, and concluding that the program for the day was to be in pain. That isn't sustainable over 9 months.

The prospect of Johnson and Farage's respective teams mutually annihilating each other, electorally speaking, may be a relief for the rest of the UK if it can be brought off properly.
