Interesting that Stephen Price who has said he wont watch the film as "he'll be washing his hair", somehow manages to get hold of a letter written by one, yes one resident and then cut and pastes it into an article for publishing on Nation.
What future insight can we await from Mr Price....

Now this policy decision is estimated to cost UK Treasury some £100bn in lost revenues over the 14 years its been in place. Something that surely impacts on what Wales gets through block grant or Barnett? So why little, if any debate in Wales about decision?

Awful outcome. Pretty awful headline too. A criminal who didn't have decency to stay and deal with their actions, was driving this car. Hope they get some lengthy driving ban and some retribution for their actions in causing the crash and then fleeing scene.

Still intrigued how some people are allowed a voice and opinion...seems like their past misdemeanors are readily forgotten!

It's funny, I look at Elon's Department of Government Efficiency and think "the most efficient thing he could possibly do is stop highway expansions" but that will never happen because it would go against his business interests. Which presents the fundamental flaw with this idea in the first place.
“The phenomenon is known as induced demand. The result is an endless cycle in which congestion leads to highway expansion, which invites more trips, which brings back traffic…The pattern is so inevitable that economists have dubbed it the iron law of congestion.”
