    Stunned that they could be so stupid.

    This is victim blaming of a high degree.

    They may as well have written “if the reporting person were not so fat, then the pass would not be as close”.
     

    I must have missed the bit in the highway code where putting on your indicator gives you immediate priority over every other road user.

    This is 3 years ago and did get a NIP for the left hook.

    The thing is, no council (ok there might be one) has an inhouse highways operational team whose job it is to fix roads and maintain them. It’s all out sourced to private companies (thanks to Thatcher).

    What is required is signing off the works and getting the companies to do the job properly where the reinstatement or work is not up to standard.

    What Yusuf said was

    What Yusuf said was

    He said Reform would send “teams” into councils, adding: “We’ll be opening up application shortly. We want the brightest and the best. “If you’ve got experience in audit, if you’ve got experience in fixing potholes, if you’re a software engineer.

    “We’re going to bring taskforces in. We’re now going to have access to the contract, access to the numbers, access to payroll, and we’re going to make these changes.”

    All a bit nonsensical and a number of legal hurdles to clear to bring in unknowns and unqualifieds.

    Obviously clueless that software is already purchased from vendors and there is little in house software.
    Experience in audit is looking at whether the accounts are ‘true and fair’, the systems in place, objectives, whether processes meet objectives, the controls in place over processes, segregation of duties.

    Audit are not going to be able to say “well, you have 50 FTE lawyers but we think you can do it with 40” because they do not know anything about being lawyer.

    It’s all smoke and mirrors. It would be funny if they came back and said “you need more people because there is insufficient segregation of duties and you are at risk of fraud.”

     

    As to “we have absolute, ultimate control”.

    Why haven’t you fixed the potholes then? Why is there so much congestion in our towns? Why can’t my mother get the social care she needs ?

    ” It would take an exceptionally reckless idiot to put literal bull horns on the front of a monstrous-sized SUV and then drive it around an urban area. Especially knowing that those horns are at the exact perfect height to inflict fatal injuries to a child. And yet that is what this driver did.

    67 in a 50 but gets off due to lack of evidence

    Then goes on to say

    While he admits speeding, Mr Ford argues that the section of the A140 near Ipswich is “excessively slow” and additional cameras are a “highway robbery”.

    What a sense of entitlement

    Regal Rentals owner calls for Bryant Road near railway bridge in Strood to be closed after repeat ‘devastating’ vehicle damage.

    Yep, don’t have warnings in the vehicle or tighten up the agreements, close the road for a bridge that has been there since 1860

    I quite liked the comment that you can’t see the kerb from the driver’s seat.
    Just as well it’s high kerb otherwise you’ll kill a child or animal. Are these drivers really that utterly stupid ?

    There’s a game you can play
    There’s a game you can play at the moment – ask a meaning. Make up some silly phrase and see what you get.
    You can take a tyre to water but you can’t get it filled with sealant meaning
    Then wait for the ai to give you a pseudo meaning.
