So just an FPN because there’s not necessarily a driving licence to endorse?
AFAIK you can still (or should but rarely do) get points for jumping a red on a scooter or bicycle

If they have a licence then from memory I think it’s endorsable (3 points and £100 from memory)
thought it was up to 6 points and £1000
there was a great long whingy thread on pfm about it a few years ago
Endorsed if a licence holder.
I’m fairly sure a licence is a requirement to hire a scooter as it’s a powered vehicle.
This is my shocked face.

Depends on motor vehicle vs mechanically propelled vehicle for different offences and road type. So lots of different fine levels
See https://offencecode.uk/ if you want to look up offence wording and fines etc.
Nope.
I think I proposed shooting cyclists in the head on the spot and seizing their bikes to be used for building coal fired power stations.

Rented scooter, no helmet (apart from the absolute helmet riding the scooter).

How many times have you been banned from Pink Virtue-Signallers?

A moving piece from Rowan Rheingans on human conflict. Needs a quiet 90 mins to appreciate.
These American style tent cities are a clear and present danger to our way of life. A row of semi-conscious pissheads and glue hoofing jakeys lying on damp cardboard would better reflect our proud British values and traditions.

My mother died five years ago, umm, now.
It’s a cliché but it simultaneously feels much shorter and longer.
I don’t miss her, she was a thoroughly unpleasant person, but “before” and “after” are certainly very different.
Also reckon I must have been discharged from hospital about 10 years today. Around that time I have a memory of trying to explain to ward-mates who Lou Reed was (he’d just died) and attempting to sing “Perfect Day” to a double-amputee ex-roofer, a drug-dealer who was literally handcuffed to his bed and and a gangster and his permanently present “friends” (muscle - he’d been shot in the gut).
We must have been a bit of a sight. And I discovered that I was so weak I couldn’t hold a note.
