Interesting. Obviously safer streets are good and I generally support schemes like this (I cycle pretty much everywhere in London, and walk or take public transport when I don’t cycle). But Rahman was elected on a platform that included reversing these measures. I’m not totally convinced that he should be prevented from doing so, even though I don’t agree with him.
He wasn’t solely elected on that. His manifesto contained dozens of incoherent contradictory promises. He’s a populist and says whatever will get him elected. The fact is that local residents have repeatedly said they want the traffic calming measures to stay and Rahman who claims to be a “listening mayor” is doing the complete opposite. This is culture war posturing and nothing else.
If saving actual lives isn’t enough for you to oppose a “democratic” agenda I wonder where you would draw the line.
Yes, I’m very pro-death. I’m glad you noticed because sometimes people suggest my arguments are a bit too nuanced for people with low reading comprehension, but you’ve got straight to the key point and correctly identified my pro-death views.
OK dude. But hilarious sarcasm aside, if you don’t think these actions should be opposed do you think any manifesto item of an elected official should be given a pass?
