    Another one who thinks 465000 people are idiots. Plus what did it actually say in the manifesto ? It certainly didn't say that we would end up with the shambles that we have got and that it would adversely affect peoples lives and businesses in the way that it is.

    Given the max speed I doubt anyone would notice.

    Fair play anyone taking part in that has reached new heights of complete and utter loser behaviour.

    Be about ten dawdling cars, people huff and puff but when it comes to the crunch they’re, “I would have been there but……….”

    The last protest was quite significant the traffic was slow for about 4 junctions west bound I was driving in the opposite direction and initially thought there was a traffic accident.

    Gave the Rotherham game a swerve I guess.

    There was a hell of a lot more than ten cars last time and this one is bringing people over from the other side of the bridge and is combined with a ULEZ protest. It has also been better planned and advertised and is travelling from both directions at the same time.

    At least the people taking part have the courage of their convictions, unlike people like you who just sit on the sidelines carping. I would think that the fact that 465000 people (or utter losers in your world) have signed the petition might have also given you a clue that you might be in a severe minority with your opinion.

    Reading not your strong point? My response was to the people protesting by slowing down on the motorway, not any petition.

    As it goes I don't think the people who have signed the petition are losers, rather, entitled morons.

    Also 465000 is still a minority of the Welsh population.

    Hope that clears things up for you

    Even if all the 465k signatories lived in Wales they wouldn't be a majority, and seeing as anyone in world can sign those things there are many people not even resident in the principality. What is a severe minority anyway?

    It doesn't really affect me but i'd say signing a electronic petition that's just going to be ignored is more pointless.

    I'd say action does lead to much more direct results

    The trains are great, but they are on strike half the time, poor train drivers how are they supposed to manage on £60K a year!

    You are lucky there, Heath has access to both lines, and you have the best public transport options in Cardiff

    But if you have to see someone in Rumney or Ely you'd need a car, public transport is not a viable option for those types of journeys.

    Of course you feel the same for 'Just Stop Oil' or 'Extinction Rebellion' ctivists who may undertake similar measures?

    Another massive damp squib no doubt. These people need to be places, and quickly.

    I hope Drakeford makes a law that The M4 speed limit is 20mph-Just for this weekend. They'll all be going 70 if he does that.

    Was planning to attend the game from over the bridge but might give it a miss because of this. Train would be an option for any other game but it’ll be full of Worzels on Saturday!

    Re: 20mph -Protest this saturday on M4-PLAN AHEAD

    What a great idea, protest about new lower speed limits by driving slowly when you dint need to! Idiots.

    Okay where did I call people idiots - you love picking a fight don't you

    Tell you what why don't you look up the manifesto for yourself and enjoy your 20mph crawl on Saturday as I assume you are joining in - me I'm catching the train to watch the football and spend sometime with mates
