Mainly because society is fucking horrible now, there's nowhere outdoors for kids to play, and technology has taken over. Nothing to do with speed limits
Why is 30mph a fair urban speed? Because when you're driving down one of Coventry's many Victorian era narrow streets, with cars parked all the way along both sides, it gives you a slight chance of being able to emergency brake in time when a child runs out into the road from a blind spot between 2 parked vehicles.
We used to play football on the road when I was a kid, when a car driver approached us they would slow to a stop and wait for us to move from the road, in a respectful manner. Now you never see kids playing anything in the streets.
And vulnerable, easily manipulated young men too. My brothers oldest lad went down the rabbit hole in his late teens. Couldn’t get a girlfriend and couldn’t work out why so people on line like Tate allowed him to believe that it must be them not him. I’m glad to say he worked it out in the end and he now has a girlfriend and a solid relationship. Took him a good 5 years to get out the rabbit hole though. The stress it put by brother and sister in law through though was unbelievable because the values he was displaying and the bullshit he was buying into was so counter to their values and the values they tried to raise him to have.Other than in a pub brawl, I'm not sure that having Tate on your side is necessarily helpful in your defence.
This ridiculous, "the matrix is after us to shut us up", is laughable.
These guys have had huge amounts of leeway to spout their ludicrous and often dangerous opinions.
They're no threat to the state, that's just the typically overblown narcissism that plays to their idiot followers - it's mostly defenceless young women that they threaten.

You need to tell the ones in our street then. Nearly hit them with the car at least 6 times in the last few months. My missus, the sameWhy is 30mph a fair urban speed?

They are always playing in the street and more often than not, tend to sit right in the middle of the road.
These are kids ranging from about 4-9.
Yup. It's a windy street. You don't see them until you literally go round the bend.Are you really struggling to see kids sat in the middle of the road when you're driving?
Yup. It's a windy street. You don't see them until you literally go round the bend.
I can go out and take photos if you want.

I live in a road. Like most people.I thought you only took the train anyway?
The point is, the kids by us DO play in the road. All the time. The parents never say anything.I live in a road. Like most people.
Yes, I take the train. What is this, a police interview?
I take trains everywhere. When I am home though, here in Maidstone, my missus has a car and I use it to get groceries, or drop the girls at the station etc. There is nowhere close in walking distance.

You can actually see kids there
Well, where they usually are is right behind the smaller of those two trees by the van.
You do not see them until you are right upon them.
We now drive at less than 3mph going round that bit.
Oh Owen
Russell Brand has endorsed Labour – and the Tories should be worried | Owen Jones
Yes, he’s urging people to vote. But he’s not a born-again Milibandite – he’s recognised the gravity of the situation and is doing his bit to stave off disasterwww.theguardian.com
That didn't age well, although he wasn't wrong about his influence. Cameron was spot on when he called him a joke, that's polite actually.
Didn't matter anyway, as the Tories ended up spending at least another 8+ years in power.
“And then, as for him denying that anything non-consensual happened. That’s not a surprise to me. These men always deny any of the allegations brought to them – I knew he would. What he didn’t deny was that he had a relationship with a 16-year-old.”
Beverly Turner recons its all about his stance on covid conspiracies. She’s made a complete arse of herself this afternoon, even by her standards.Brand seems to have the overwhelming support of thousands of right wing pea brained conspiracy theorists. Who would have thought it

The guardian literally slobbered over Brand
Oh Ed
Ed Miliband's Russell Brand interview receives positive youth response
All young voters contacted by pollsters BritainThinks said they liked Brand and had a lot more respect for him than individual politiciansamp.theguardian.com
Wow, bit sad to spend your time pulling up 8 year old articles to score political agenda points on a thread about an accused rapist.
Is it any less sad than those people trying to claim he’s flipped to the right as they are more likely to condone sex offenders?
It’s took two seconds to find it - not much time - and there is plenty more
Even today some labour activists link Thatcher and the royals to Jimmy Saville. How sad is that?
So you're saying it is sad? In which case, you can just not do it.

He does give bad vibes. Never saw him as an entertainer. Just a narcissistic loose cannon who does not have qualms about ‘owning people’.A nasty, attention seeking , manipulative, arrogant bastard. Always hated him. I hope he gets 20 years and gets regularly serviced in prison.
I wouldn't recommend going out and taking photos of kids if I were you.Yup. It's a windy street. You don't see them until you literally go round the bend.

I’m not sure what Ed could have done differently, it’s not like Brand would have declared ‘by the way I’m a sex pest - just wanted to put it out there’
Unless of course that people in the Labour Party knew about his behaviour in the same way the BBC and other organisations knew of and buried behaviours of previous offenders.
I'm not interested in his noncey behaviour, I'm more concerned about those weeds. You dont have time to be posting on here whilst that needs sorting!Alright, just careful posting anything with images of children or you'll be declared a nonce, especially in the Sam Smith thread.
