The SPECTATOR reveals the true face of Toryism -- the very opposite of Green

 
See the front page and featured article of this week's SPECTATOR, here:
This image, and this kind of invective from Rod Liddle, are the true face still of Toryism. This (the 'Spectator') is in effect the Tories' house-journal: the reality of what Toryism still amounts to, clearly, so far as most Tories are concerned...
 
Let's spread this widely.
 
Or perhaps I am mistaken. It is just about conceivable this image with which the cover of this week's Spectator is adorned no longer command the appreciation of many leading Tories, at least.
If so, it would be good to hear David Cameron himself to this effect. I have written directly to David Cameron, asking him to dissassociate himself from the way that the SPECTATOR has chosen this week to highlight and promote an attack on 'the green terror'. It will be interesting -- and revealing -- to see whether or not he chooses to do so.
 ...Watch this space...
 
But don't hold your breath... My (easy) prediction is that the nearer the Tories feel that they are getting to Government, the faster the green fig leaves will drop away ...

More on why 20's plenty -- without need for any further 'trials'...

There are a number of reasons for setting a default speed of 20mph throughout the 'unclassified' road network in residential parts of a city such as Norwich. Most important perhaps is that of driver recognition as to what the speed limit is. If you have 20 mph as the default then you not only establish this limit clearly, but you also adjust the driver's recognition as to what is the "normal" speed in such residential areas. The most important aspect is that drivers set 20 mph as the norm with those 30 mph areas or roads being seen as 50% faster, rather than seeing 30 mph as the norm with 20 mph as 33% slower. The psychological adjustment of normal speeds in residential areas is key to the success of reducing speeds and therefore danger to pedestrians and cyclists. Therefore any trial, pilot or whatever, that only implements 20 mph in a tiny proportion of the city is not modelling 20's Plenty in any realistic manner.   When considering the val...
