People are "getting used to" the new default 20mph speed limit in Wales over a month since the rollout, according to a Welsh government minister.Who ever could have predicted this happening?*
Deputy minister for climate change, Lee Waters, made the comments after the policy faced significant backlash.
But Mr Waters said average speeds were down which showed people were "voting with their feet"....

The test firing of a Trident missile from a Royal Navy submarine has failed, for the second time in a row.40 years ago Billy Connolly said the best job in the world must be nuclear weapons salesman. The customer is hardly going to ask to set one off in the car park to see if it works.
The latest test of the UK's nuclear deterrent was from HMS Vanguard and was seen by Defence Secretary Grant Shapps.
The missile's booster rockets failed and it landed in the sea close to the launch site, according to the Sun, which first reported the malfunction.
Mr Shapps said he has "absolute confidence" in Trident's submarines, missiles and nuclear warheads.
This is highly embarrassing for both the UK and the US manufacturer of the Trident missile.
British tests of Trident missiles are rare, not least because of the cost. Each missile is worth around £17m and the last test in 2016 also ended in failure when the missile veered off course. Test-fired missiles are not armed with their nuclear warheads.

Andrew Tate will be extradited to the UK to face allegations of sexual aggression after his Romanian trial proceedings have concluded, a court has ruled.Let's hope the cunt ends up where he belongs.
Bedfordshire Police said the force has obtained a European arrest warrant and is working with authorities in Romania.
Controversial influencer Tate, 37, and his brother Tristan, 35, were detained on Tuesday after the UK authorities issued a warrant for charges dating from 2012 to 2015.
Appearing at Bucharest Court of Appeal, a judge approved their extradition for when their trial for separate offences of rape and human trafficking ends. They have both been released from police custody following the hearing.
It comes after lawyers representing four women who accuse Tate of rape and sexual assault wrote to UK police to request his detention over fears he would flee Romania...

Social media posts by Joey Barton calling Jeremy Vine a ‘nonce’ were defamatory, a High Court judge has ruled.https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/h ... 50804.html
Mr Barton faced legal action from the TV and radio presenter over 14 online posts, including where he called Mr Vine a “big bike nonce” and a “pedo defender” on X, formerly Twitter.
Mr Vine took the ex-midfielder to court for libel and harassment, following a social media exchange over Mr Barton’s criticism of women’s involvement in men’s football.
At a preliminary hearing earlier this month, Mrs Justice Steyn was asked to decide several early issues in the case, including the “natural and ordinary” meanings of the posts and whether they were statements of fact or opinion.
On Friday, the judge ruled that 11 of the posts could defame Mr Vine.

But if you dare, just search Lucy Letby on Twitter. It's genuinely shocking.There's a whole demographic out there that will challenge anything as a conspiracy or cover-up if it doesn't have a neat Hollywood plot line. 'Young paediatric nurse is a serial killer' has the wrong person as the baddie, therefore something must be amiss. It's just 'simple people being simple', with added 'simple people being able instantly to be in contact with millions of other simple people'.
A Quisling "Labour" "win" was forecast within months of the 2019 election. Only its scale was/is in question - dependent on just how corrupt and British the blue version became. As it transpired, the descent was near vertical and took the red version with it in a tailspin of utter corruption.Absolutely bonkers...
As forecast, and as in 1997, Quisling "Labour" will move into Downing Street merely because it isn't the blue version. Even though its policies are virtually identical and it's frontmen and women are just as corrupt and hypocritical, and just as guilty in inflicting war criminality and mass murder wars and genocide.
Blue, red and yellow tory capitalism varies only in its pr bullshit and lies and thievery methods. Typified by the Starmer Quisling grotesque grin and his "no emotional space" dishonest face.
Quisling 'Labour" is just another far right malevolent soap opera scripted by the same old sociopaths and psychopaths.
