I would argue that it’s the odd changes that you’re talking about that are the bits that need fixing. In any case, I think a change to the NSL for built-up areas to 20 is probably the best way to go.
Ah yes that’s what I’m referring to. Love that system, but for sure it probably annoys the drivers behind me…
Just back from France where most pedestrian busy areas are now seem to be 30kph/20mph.
It makes a lot of sense, and is literally the difference between life and death in the event of a collision. I’d be hugely in favour of 20mph where people are walking about.
And in built up areas it is quite common for raised pedestrian crossings to be built 50-100m apart so that speed limit feels natural and appropriate for those areas.
I started this convo for the Tory burn, but now I’m finding out you’re all speed demons.
TAN really is the marketplace of ideas.
Who has done more damage to the UK in the last 10 years, Farage or Johnson?

The BBC, for enabling them both.
I’ll pay that.
I think fuckstick Farage has more to worry about than the ECHR…
His ideas are on the nose, and he knows it.
He doesn’t care about the social impact of his racist invective.
It’s all about what is in it for him.
Laughing my arse off at these ‘proud and paid up Reform members’.
Well done, you gave your money to a private company. Genius move.
It’s not just the bbc that has enabled them though.
The whole UK media network is guilty of peddling their lies and bullshit
The difference is that the BBC is meant to be a public service broadcaster. The public is not served by allowing known liars to tell their demonstrable lies on the most widely watched news and current affairs without any pushback.
The BBC had a reputation for being reliable and trustworthy. That has an impact that the likes of the Mail and S*n could only dream of.
Whenever people talk about Human Rights as a pejorative, I always wonder what species they think they are.
Came across a radio interview yesterday where tte caller was not happy with Farage’s input into his Clacton constituency.
As expected he’s done f all and it looks like those that voted for him are starting to find that out.
Also worth noting that goverment borrowing has been higher than expected for July onward. Largely driven by the pay settlements I think.
Not sure if that was planned or otherwise. Doesn’t bode well for the upcoming budget. Government needs to find cash somewhere, more than we thought a month ago.
Why did nobody warn them?!?!?!?
Deep state
The settlements haven’t come into force yet have they?
Possibly but there more spending in the public sector according to this article
