Lone short term enthusiast, but not nutty enough to ever qualify solo even fixed wing, let alone helicopter. Commensurate with my second lifestyle policy from 16 years old on. .

Now compare that to Boris Johnson, also an indecisive shambles relying on dodgy advisers like Dominic Cummings. His past associations with criminals and choice of colleagues both exposed by his London mayorality, and his silly clothes and hair. Plus his habitual lying which Corbyn wasn't...

A tale of politics Once upon a very recent time of politics, one, Jeremy Corbyn was the leader of the Labour party and John McDonnell was his chancellor and they announced these policies; Nationalisation of rail. Major investment to grow the economy. Corporation tax up from 19% to 26%...

They encourage drivers to accelerate and slow between them, wasting fuel and increasing pollution from exhausts and brake linings. Huge numbers of shock absorbers damaged and needing replacement due to excessive use. In addition heavy vehicles bumping over them regulary break up the road...

Making them even worse environmentally? No way, they should all be removed and never reinstated. There is a far more intelligent way to slow traffic which really works, causes no damage, environmentally better and is cheaper in the long run for all concerned. .

They already do that, they're called tasers. They even have side effects. .

I don't think so at present with so much occupying government. The danger will be as things normalise and they find time on their hands to attend to wider public order issues. However there are signs that the DfT wants to stay aligned to the EU on transport issues, for example saying that if...

N.B. The following is non political and NOT a pro EU comment. You're right. While we were in the EU we were protected by our pedelec law being an EU wide regulation compulsory for all member states. Now we've left our government can change the regulations at a drop of the hat. Given that...

That's me, other member Jesus H Christ and our future King William named as nutters, since we've flown helicopters. .

Totally opposed, they are an environmental disaster in many different ways and many of today's cars can just shrug them off at speed. .

That's the view of a foreigner to them. The reality is: The French love their country and call it La Belle France. We Brits also love it, so much that we commonly both live there and holiday there. The French are so proud of their country that they famously buy French much of the time...

It's temporary one off solution, but won't bring the permanent solution of proportional representation any closer. .

I don't agree, but not because I think you are wrong on detail. As I've posted before, the success of the SNP in Scotland was almost entirely at Labour's expense, changing the arithmetic so fundamentally that Labour will find it near to impossible to make up the deficit of seats in the Commons...

Not at present. Eventually when the costs of Brexit and Covid come home to roost the populace may accidentally put Starmer and Labour in by voting against the Tories rather than for Labour. For decades many individuals have been voting against rather than for, such is the disillusion with...

Quite possibly, they've taken our roundabout ideas before, though they call them circles. But apparently American drivers hate them much more than even we do. .

The Americans say both reasons, continuous flow and slowing traffic: 1) Roundabouts promote a continuous flow of traffic. Traffic is not required to stop – only yield – so the intersection can handle more traffic in the same amount of time. 2) A main feature of the modern roundabout is a...

You're being silly now. How could I express the change in direction the proprietors of the Daily Mail appear to be taking politically without using the word? .

OK, you are not Zlatan but not capable of understanding this English, so I half agree with the above. No I did not, don't post misleading part extracts. I gave that as my reading of the proprietors reasons for changing their stance. Whether they are wise in that I've no idea, time will tell...

Perhaps they aren't knocking the achievement, I for one have praised the speed and numbers vaccinated. But because I've criticised the downsides that exist, I'm accused of knocking it all which I clearly haven't. Once again people not reading what is posted but imagining something different. .

Probably only expressed in the fury of drivers held up by them! .
