As someone who lives in Wales and drives, cycles and walks around daily, I think this is a great policy, but poorly communicated and has been a target by populist politicians which has fed into the discontent.

Many people speed and break the limit anyway regardless of the speed limit. In my experience about 80% of cars will be sticking to 20 - either abiding by the limit or stuck behind someone keeping to it. The majority of people speeding will only speed up to ~30mph, which will be less than what they’ll be speeding if the limit was at 30 originally.

It may vary by council, but I personally can’t think of any roads near me that could do with reverting back up to 30 (that haven’t already). Some main roads will still be 20, but then there are schools and residential on these roads which doesn’t make sense to revert - but some people will still complain.

Personally I don’t think this policy will ever have national popular support. It is a policy that directly affects someone’s day to day rather than a stat which makes it a perfect candidate for people to complain about (potholes are similar). This is despite polling also saying that the vast majority support 20 outside their own house (but outside other people’s houses should be reverted?).

I am kinda sick of how much this policy is brought up. It seems like every month there is a new article critiquing the limit and it is getting quite repetitive.

To add to this, I get paid more as a junior in Wales which should be comparable to NW England economically.

It doesn’t sound too different to Cymru despite having a relatively stable left-leaning government. Last time I was admitted to A&E, I was in there for about 14 hours. At least they fed me plenty of sandwiches :)

Sounds like the UK to me. Waits like this are not uncommon here in A&E when you are in a stable condition. The NHS has been underfunded for years and it is just getting worse.

Unfortunately, Microsoft will often force their own 2FA app when logging in to 365.

Correct me if I am wrong, but I don’t think you would be able to do this as ctrl+c copies what is highlighted rather than the actual link.

If you wanted to do this and make it default, I believe you should be able to do so using userChrome.css. You won’t be able to change the text, but you can remove the old menu item.

Are you wearing that Ikea gaming hoodie?!

The Tories originally supported the proposal which is quite hilarious seeing how much stink they are throwing currently.

I do agree public transport needs more funding but they are in a pretty tricky situation where the Gov has very little money to improve the service (partly due to Wales transport funds being spent on HS2) and at the same time bus usage is down and not recovered after lockdowns. I hope the 20mph limits will encourage more onto busses, but I am not confident.
