Speak to any driver and ask them what the worst part of driving is and they will tell you it’s other drivers.
And yet self-identified “drivers” will support right-wing policies that are designed to increase the amount of drivers on the road.
Not the smartest demographic.
I’ve known people who in the same breath would complain about how bad the traffic is in the city, then oppose to any alternative mode of transportation that would give more people other options so they would drive less.
I haven’t talked to them in awhile but I wouldn’t be surprised if they thought the 15-minute city concept is some plot against their ‘’‘’‘’‘‘freedom’’‘’‘’‘’ to drive.
The strangest part of this is that they specifically stop councils from implementing 15 minute cities.
Legally mandated inconvenience.
How does that work? There’s already shops, dentists, etc in many residential neighbourhoods in the UK, no?
The Department for Transport added that it plans to stop councils implementing so-called “15-minute cities” amid fears they “aggressively restrict where people can drive”.
15-minute cities are the idea that almost all healthcare, shopping, social and educational needs should be catered for a 15 minute walk or cycle ride away from any spot in a city.
Speaking to The Sun, Mr Sunak described such schemes as “hare-brained” - and claimed penalising drivers going about their daily lives “doesn’t reflect the values of Britain”.
The existing ones are allowed to stay until they need to build some more parking lots or widen roads I assume.

We talk about it a lot, but my god are conservatives some of the most gullible fucking people on the planet. Politicians may just be ‘pretending’ but there are more than a few voters that legitimately believe this
Sidenote: Britain a nation of drivers? The place that invented the steam locomotive, the modern day intercity railway? If there’s one thing that the UK has to be proud of in its past, it would be trains!
I want to live in the world chuds think we live in.
What a load of backwards fucking bullshit. I’m sure he has stakes in the legalised extortion that is insurance as well as other things such as oil. Fucking prick. How about making trains better and more importantly affordable. How about funding more buses and adding more bus lanes to discourage people from driving. How about adding more cycle lanes and networks and taking advantage of the explosion in popularity of battery power personal transport.
Fuck cars and fuck this fucking cunt.
