I'm not sure who the Association of British Drivers are, so I'm not
sure how much to read into this.
It's hardly news. Anyone working in transport/telematics already knew
that Livingstone had issued an edict that the lights across London
were to be rephased to cause congestion prior to the introduction of
the congestion charge. In fact I stated this was what was happening
here at the time and had the usual cabal of ****wits and some who
should have known better screaming that it was a lie.
Road congestion is primarily caused by too many cars and if left to
its own devices would be self-limiting. Indeed it could even result in
a reduction of car travel as motorists get fed up with so many delays
they are themselves responsible for. Unfortunately, our road spaces
are allowed to be demand driven resulting in perpetual roadbuilding
and widening and tinkering to the detriment of the environment and
quality of life of many people.

What new roads have been built in London (inside the M25) over the last
(say) ten years Doug?


Do wake up!

Why cherry pick London


See the thread title? And the groups this is posted to? Are you some
kind of idiot?

A rhetorical question presumably?
(As that was. :-) )

Indeed, a series of rhetorical questions in that I didn't expect any
response from Duhg on this.

Doug is very well suited to being a politician in the present system. He
invariably answers the question he would have liked to have been asked
rather than the one actually posed.

Perhaps, but we do know he does not like the current system - not
authoritarian enough for him. (Does he understand words of 13 characters?)

Indeed, his authoritarian preferences can be seen when he's asked a question
he doesn't like and askes another.

It's not as short as "liar" so he might have difficulty with it.
