Oddbean new post about login | logout @c3e4f7fd Originally I was all for it... until last Sunday when I actually had to sit through it going down a main road, down a big hill as a passenger. I now think your suggestion of the Oxford model would be a better approach. Councils can choose to make some roads 30mph but in our case they haven't.
@d4b81373 Let's hope some of them do it, otherwise there will be a backlash and it'll be lost. It works well in Oxford.
@c3e4f7fd Too late for that. The spite and vitriol coming out of most alleged adults is insane.
@d4b81373 I spend a lot of my time at the moment monitoring the effectof extreme polarisation in the USA, it worries me a lot that I'm seeing it taking hold at home too.
@c3e4f7fd It's not so much in the way that politics is polarised at the moment, most things are 50/50ish (Ok, 52/48). I have never seen a backlash like this in the entire time I've been interested in Welsh politics. What worries me though is it appears to be coordinated by the usual suspects and some others I haven't identified yet. I also know four people personally just this week who have had their FB accounts hacked to post anti-20mph stuff. Someone is deliberately causing havoc.
