    Well obviously – why do you think they gave up on building this stuff well over a millennium ago?

    If we’re all being sent to rwanda, I need to know are the roads any good, or do I need a gravel bike?

    Looks like a gravel bike might be advisable for maximum enjoyment, although they are driving the growth of African professional road cycling.

    Just to say that in theory we do not vote for parties, we vote for a single mp who is supposed to represent the views of the constituents in parliament. This means that the mp should canvas opinions before every vote to ascertain what the views of the constituents are.

    That’s not quite how it’s supposed to work. We’re supposed to vote for the person who we think would make the best decisions on our behalf, which is a subtle but important difference. It doesn’t entail that they should vote in accordance with the way a majority of constituents would, since the majority can make bad decisions, whether through a lack of information/understanding of the issue, or because, in some contexts and on some issues, we’re all quite bad at making decisions.

    The restriction is clearly having an impact.

    Preventing impacts, surely?
