1. One thing you need to realise about the British Establishment is that it uses clowns to express its deepest desires. People like Rod Liddle offer a kind of deniability - "lighten up, he's just having a laugh". But they deliver a closer representation of its truths than any sober editorial.

So, it turns out we're treating fascism just like we've been treating climate change:

- read "don't worry" media op-eds

– start seeing major evidence
– hope somebody does something

Rolling out 20mph speed limits everywhere people are using pavements and need to cross the road makes sense.
Rolling out 20mph speed limits everywhere people are using pavements and need to cross the road makes sense.
New research provides conclusive proof that 20mph in London is saving lives.
14 yrs of analysis at 150+ sites - reviewed by experts - shows:
❤️40% fewer deaths (vs 7% drop on roads where no changes were made)
❤️75% fewer children killed & 50% fewer kids hurt
And slower speeds deliver so much more:
