Too lazy to protest, too lazy to read a manifesto, too lazy to vote?

laugh
I’d vote for anyone who built a massive wall across Wales and gave them independence biggrin
5th Century politics seems to be appropriate for your bigotry.

It’s not bigotry, I’m just taking you as a representative example. But, thinking about it, better make a few feet higher rofl

Crash boy's life saved by 20mph limit, says mum

A mother whose son was left seriously injured after he was hit by a car believes the 20mph limit saved his life.

The 11-year-old, named Ioan, was left with a double fracture to his pelvis, deep cuts to his face, knees, back and elbow and needed three stitches to his lower lip after the crash on Monday.

Mum Rhiannon, from Holywell, Flintshire, said the youngster could have been killed if the vehicle had been going faster.

I wonder what would have happened if he'd been taught how to cross a road from an early age ?

I've never been knocked down, nor have any of my friends nor any of their kids and most of us live on NSLs

It's amazing what happens when you rely on yourself rather than others to look after you

Then roads wouldn't be fit for our children to play on hehe

But seriously, the assumed right of way for pedestrians and cyclists which has come from misinterpretation of road user hierarchy, is not doing their safety any favours. We need to return to common sense.

TUT TUT WG want to control our lives.

Waters and Dripford out as they are an embarrassment to Labour party.

The Conwy protesters were few as they only put their details on Facearse. I'm not on it, yet would have joined them if l had known about it.

It's naïve to believe that Dripford's early departure was not influenced by pressure from central Labour Party.

Although Angela Rayner may beg to differ, after she extolled Dripford's policies as the Blueprint for Britain until she was told to shut up.

Like I said before, Dripford & Khan may well have helped Labour clinch defeat from the jaws of victory.

If the car had been going at 30mph it would have been past and not hit the boy at all wink

David Simpson is stepping down as head of Pembrokeshire Council as well.

Oversaw the illegal payoff to the former chief and the coverup that followed, cost the taxpayers around hald a million, just survived a vote of no confidence in 2023. Leaves after utting up rates by 16.3% to balance his 7 years of unable to budget...

No, though the Wales experience could be helpful if anyone still thinks Labour winning the GE will lead to a land of milk & honey.

For even more balance on this particular topic, Sunak has stated his opposition to blanket "hare-brained" road calming and safety schemes, specifically including 20mph zones, adding that he doesn't want to see such measures "forced" on drivers.

That’s pretty easy for Sunak to say, I don’t imagine that he is, or will be, in the frame for first minister. In this instance he is toothless and enjoying the pot stirring.

For clarity I think nearly all politicians are tts, I also put those who slavishly follow their policies in the same category.
