LibDem MEP warns they could come 5th in the European elections next June

Fascinating multiple efforts here by the sinking ship that is the Liberal Democrats to reposition themselves to appeal to 'the Daily Mail vote'...

But what I particularly like is the last lines of this article:

"Lib Dem MEP Chris Davies warned there would be a stormy debate on the issue [of the LibDems' abandonment of strong commitment to the Euro currency] among delegates tomorrow.

'This is a very good recipe for coming fifth in the European elections,' he said."

Indeed; I think that these multiple LibDem U-turns will further increase doubts in voters' minds as to whether the LibDems actually believe in anything at all (except for getting themselves elected). The Green Party actually stands for something: and it would certainly be sweet, and nothing less than just, if we were to beat the LibDems at the European elections next year...

As they say: watch this space...

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...
