houses, shops, offices, city centres. parks, they've been waging war on cars for since 1666.
It's about time someone did something to put a stop to them.
Next step: “we are a nation of smokers and millions of us smoke daily. We are making the life of these people easier. Stop to the No Smoking areas. If a pregnant woman is present she can go eff herself. Stop to taxes on tobacco.
What do you mean? I am sure he will put in place some shitty measures that will make traffic worse then he can blame Labour for it. They can even use their much loved “since the previous Labour government…” line. And it won’t be over a decade ago they are talking about! Yay!
This kind of stance is common enough with Canadian conservatives. They prattle on about the “war on cars”, all bleary eyed about people “just need to get to work” whenever public transit, climate change, parking or biking comes up.
In all the car commercials they show cars sitting at a stop in city traffic while ‘Midnight city’ by m83 plays, not zooming around NYC/Tokyo without another car in sight like they are the last man on earth.
Luckily, these are just the last desperate acts of an unelected Prime Minister, who only got the job because the last one crashed the economy inside a month (who only got the job because the last one was Boris Johnson). He knows that the party will be condemned to irrelevance next year and is anxious to find anything that could possibly resonate with enough voters
Ironically Rishi Sunak famously doesn't really drive, and once had to borrow someone else's car for a publicity stunt where he inadvertently demonstrated that he doesn't even know how to fill one up with petrol. Sadly he doesn't drive because hes a gazillionaire, not because he uses public transport
Have you seen the polls in the last two years? Or the that a majority of prominent Conservative MPs for the last ten years have already announced they won't run next year to avoid their own little portillo moments?
They know they're done and are holding on for either a miracle or something like this policy change to stick. Which isn't impossible, but that there's a good chance of him winning an election is what is wishful thinking. They're done.
VOTE EARLY VOTE OFTEN. And make sure your friends vote. Make sure you’ve all got voter ID - don’t get caught out by the Tories’ voter suppression tricks. VOTE VOTE VOTE VOTE VOTE
Some drivers hate them because they think buses are cheating by using them, and of course that one more lane would totally fix traffic once and for all
Presumably this policy is around adjusting them to not be bus lanes outside certain hours, which is actually the case for many of them at the moment, but most drivers ignore this because it would require them to be capable of reading a sign.
An answer assuming you were genuinely asking: it’s a fine that is considered disproportionately heavy I.e. 300k for stepping on your neighbors lawn.
An answer assuming you were sarcastically asking and an answer that this politician endorses: any fine that effects me - for all values of me that donated to my campaign.
