To be honest I’ve never been that way. I’ve always disliked the Tories if for nothing else than the apparent disdain they’ve always shown Wales (especially the south) but my true anti-Tory (MP, before any twinkletoes on here gets offended) hatred - even though that’s a very strong word to use- was born the day bullshitting Boris took over. He has forever tainted that party for me, along with JRM, Dorries etc

This whole thing feels rushed out with little thought. I drive a 2.2 Mondeo Titanium X TDCi and driving at those speeds is awful for my diesel consumption (not to mention my gearbox and flywheel) however it’s not all that different from 30mph and most of the roads I use around here are either 40mph, dual carriageways or motorways so it doesn’t affect me that much.
What DOES bother me are the idiotic “just in case” types who when driving at 20 on these roads either see a speed camera or police car and drop down to 15mph.
“Just in case” of course
