I'm so tired of cars. Noisy, polluting, fucking dangerous as hell.

It's just so exhausting being a lefty these days. I swear to god, these cunts in Westminster make their decisions on what will most piss off the people who'll never vote for them.
I am not even that much of a lefty but I find them exhausting
I'm mean... That's kinda true of all political parties right? The SNP don't go around yelling "Better together" do they?
As a Canadian who could only dream of the walkability and transit already established in the UK, I will be very saddened to hear you lose your cities to the cars. Cities are for the people, not for cars. Planners/traffic engineers/developers all know that the American car centric design is more isoloating, environmentally destructive, and more expensive to maintain.
You ain't got to be pro to know these things.
Just sitting traffic exposes the clowne syste; however, some how majority at least in the US has internalized this as acceptable life style.
Cuuuuunts. I passed my driving test 16 years ago now, and even in that time I've noticed a huge increase of the amount of cars on the road. These schemes are essential, or at the very least needed as a starting point
Thing is most of these are to stop rat runs anyway so keeping the routes are not really pro motorist. Blocking rat runs is always needed. If want pro motorist then in some areas build bypasses and better arterials but just letting cars keep rat running is not even pro good car use
Without wishing to turn this isn't an anti-Starmer thing, I can't help but wonder how much this could have been avoided if the leader of the opposition was more....firm in his commitments a few days ago.
It is pretty sad for the country that both of these morons are pandering to populist politics. This is not something that fills me full of confidence when Labour does it. Populism is a Tory thing, we don't need to only other saving grace in the country singing the same misguided tune.
