20mph -Protest this saturday on M4-PLAN AHEAD

You can easily see who the ‘blindly vote for Labour people no matter what they do’ are on here. It makes me wonder what Labour would have to do before any of them stopped voting for them, bearing in mind how they have trashed the NHS, stopped all road building, running Welsh business into the ground, discouraging tourists from coming here, literally wasting millions of pounds of our money on silly projects and run up a budget deficit of £900m.

£6m for Gary Madine was speculation, as was my opinion of his value. Whereas, as far as I know, 20 times two is definitely 40. Unless you know different of course

Not in my experience, after an initial bit of griping it’s calmed down. The people I knock around with have realised that it’s made very little, if any, difference to journey times.

I just presumed it must be going faster than 20mph to be of any relevance to Wales. At 40mph it goes faster than Englands lowest speed limit.

So I don’t get the joke at all?

you can also drive faster than the rollercoaster i on many roads n Wales as well, so the joke doesn't work on any level.

Sounds like the sort of point Drakeford and co would make. It's just a joke in a theme park.

They probably didn't expect the validity of said joke to be debated on ccmb but that's a bonus.

For a joke to be funny it needs to make sense though right?

Google suggests Megafobia and speed at good old Oakwood park are both faster than 30mph. In fact I think most are, isn’t that the point of them?

I was driving down cathedral road the other day at 20, it felt way too slow.

I thought to myself, “I’ve been on rollercoasters that go faster than this”

That's not true. I think our education system is pretty good. I think our healthcare system is essentially the same.

I do think the 20mph thing is stupid though, that's correct.

I'd agree on Healthcare, not so enthused over the education system, and i'm more towards the 20mph speed limit, but not 100% convinced, and i vote for Welsh Labour. Starmer is not getting my vote though, not in a million years. He's more at war with the left of the labour party than he is the Tories.

Just out of interest who will you vote for in a general election - understand if you don't want to disclose 👍 as I'm in the same boat as you and would probably vote plaid

People taking the piss probably wouldn't show up to a cause they were interested in either.

I'm on the fence about the 20, I don't think it is particularly necessary but on most of my routes I'm also well used to barely getting above that anyway. I didn't sign the petition but it's very clear why far far more people will do that than want to show up and drive 20 on the m4 or even show up anywhere physically.

I'm more against the shambles of how they have deployed it, some roads still not fully signed correctly throughout, others dip in and out of 30 with no noticeable difference to the nature of the street. Just feels like as with most things by WAG it's half arsed. If you're doing it at least do it properly.

You need to review your definition of a one party state. It’s an insult to voters who go out every five years and vote for the party they feel will be the best according to their own values.

Yup, i think plaid will get my vote. I have wrestled with it a bit, but i just can't give that bloke my vote.

calling someone "drippy" or "dripford" is really a pathetic level of discourse, same goes for "sir beer korma".

it's no better than the dire penaldo/pessi banter that you see fanboys engaging in on Twitter.

What about calling Stoke , Sjoke , or Barry Barrybados , or Boris , Doris etc ?

I always think Dripford is a bit shit cos it doesn't make any attempt at rhyming..a bit like Jack's who call up 'scumdiff'.

I do kinda agree that it damages the discourse a little, but it's hard to get too exercised on Dripford, sleepy Joe, Bozo, Sir Keith etc etc etc
