  • It is the intonation that matters more than anything else. The wording itself has very little meaning until it is meant as an insult or a compliment.

  • We have to remember that the areas that are stopping house building are predominantly Tory. So this will have more of an effect on non Tory areas.

    But the real question has to be: How much did they donate?

  • I am comparing the liability issue and how responsible people react. There is a huge problem with liability claims and costs. People in charge of money need to show they have done due diligence. You are right that some will never obey the rules, but that comes under an SEP (somebody else's problem). It will no longer be the problem of a council.

  • Creating a monopoly with a competitive advantage is illegal in Europe.

  • It is not possible to build car parts to that level of precision. They will warp more than that in the heat of the day. It is just a marketing pitch to the idiots who buy his crap.

  • Even the heat of the day would make a panel warp more than is being stated. It is just sales BS to make him look good.

    No two cars are ever the same. Even with robots panels move in jigs. There is usually a guy at the end of a line who has the job of body adjust. Paint shops warp the crap out of a car body in the baking phase.

  • I can't believe the LD were stupid enough to table a motion about her absence. Never interrupt the opposition when they are making a mistake.

  • Thanks. People can be very insular when it comes being inconvenienced.

  • You are missing the point that speed limits are imposed because of the history of that road or type of road. Councils have a duty of care and must be seen to apply it.

    London council was fined because a young child died with asthma. The parent sued because she was not made aware of the problem. She claimed there was not enough information regarding air quality. This is why you see ULEZ in the London area. If some poor kid is hurt by a car and they cannot prove the driver was speeding, then you have to assume the speed limit is too high. This is the culture we have adopted to protect ourselves from libel suites. The speed limit is not applied to piss you off, it is for the protection of others who use the road.

    If this is unacceptable to you then write to your council and tell them that you will accept any liability claims for that road if they up the speed limit. You may also need to convince the people who live there, and send their kids out across that road.

  • 20mph zones are usually created because of an issue. Either idiots speeding repetitively or some poor sod being hit by a speeding car.

  • The only safe way to deal with tailgaters is to slow down gradually. If you fall into the trap speeding up to create more distance, then your braking time will inevitably reduce and they will have less reaction time. This will also result in a harder collision if one occurs.

  • There is already a rule for this:

    3… No spam posting/trolling.

    I don't object to it being shown once, but the repetition should not be allowed. As someone has already said Politics pervades everything, it would be a difficult one to enforce. So instead of trying to reinvent the wheel just stop the trolling.

  • Dead before it had a chance to hit the ground.

  • Well that is two less missiles that will directed at Ukraine now.

  • It is a starting point. When can we talk about the £1b his family's business has taken from oil companies weeks before he handed out 100 new oil survey licenses. Or the fact his father has many close links in India, yet we are about to take on another shockingly bad trade deal with them.
