The British government is going (more) insane.
This is from The Guardian yesterday, it's at the bottom of page 2.

Rishi Sunak says 20mph limits and Ulez 'aren't the values of British people'
(Ulez is Ultra Low Emission Zone i.e. cutting down pollution in that zone)
How are speed limits and pollution values? They are facts. 20mph speed limits reduce injuries to pedestrians. Low emissions reduce pollution and therefore improve the health of people and the planet.
Words fail me at how short sighted and insulting the government's attitude is.
The British conservatives have always been insane and continue to be so. It doesn't surprise me when they come out with yet more harmful policies for the average working class person.
Like you say, 20mph zones save lives. But oh no, no-one wants to be restricted in their car speed to save lives. Imagine the horror!
