Anybody heard about these zonal restrictions being introduced in Oxford and Canterbury, with fines for going outside of certain zones? What's that all about? ____________________ Chickenystripgeezer's Biking Life (Latest update 19/10/18) Belgium, France, Italy, Austria tour 2016 Picos de Europa, Pyrenees and French Alps tour 2017 Scotland Trip 1, now with BONUS FEATURE edit, 5/10/19, on page 2 Scotland Trip 2 Luxembourg, Black Forest, Switzerland, Vosges Trip 2017

Doesn't the proposed system actually mean increasing distance travelled, and therefore increasing pollution? ____________________ Chickenystripgeezer's Biking Life (Latest update 19/10/18) Belgium, France, Italy, Austria tour 2016 Picos de Europa, Pyrenees and French Alps tour 2017 Scotland Trip 1, now with BONUS FEATURE edit, 5/10/19, on page 2 Scotland Trip 2 Luxembourg, Black Forest, Switzerland, Vosges Trip 2017

You don't expect them to have actually thought it through do you? |
The question is, who votes for these idiots? It's like Khan in London.

All university towns. But universities are a much wider range of people than they used to be, since Blair's idea to let any half-wit in, and all these useless qualifications (gender studies?! I mean, do me a favour!) to enable it.
The environmentalist scam isn't a class based thing either, all kinds are taken in by it. ____________________ Chickenystripgeezer's Biking Life (Latest update 19/10/18) Belgium, France, Italy, Austria tour 2016 Picos de Europa, Pyrenees and French Alps tour 2017 Scotland Trip 1, now with BONUS FEATURE edit, 5/10/19, on page 2 Scotland Trip 2 Luxembourg, Black Forest, Switzerland, Vosges Trip 2017

Just from my own experiences (looooong time ago) the locals used to come onto our campus and pick sweet chestnuts in the autumn (there were lots of edible sweet chestnut trees) and give us the filthiest of looks, and generally give an impression of utter contempt. Yet it wasn't a public right of way - it was just tolerated by the university. In retrospect, they saw us as just stupid kids, and an irritation underfoot. Nevertheless, we saw that campus as our space - our little biosphere. And they were obviously ancient and stupid. So it's a 2-way thing.
I went back to university as a mature student for postgraduate studies in a different subject and everything seemed different, but not drastically. There were divisions between students and most tended to avoid and be mildly fearful of the gender studies and sociology and political science types (i.e. the normies studying profession-related degrees didn't end up in situations where they got "kettled", nor did they "occupy" anything or assail the VC).
I do think it's the same old problem though. Someone comes up with a "solution" without any input from people they regard as ignorant and backward, i.e. the ordinary local people... The solution is tested and trialed with reference to their peers, and becomes gospel because of a consensus reached between them. I'm not that familiar with Canterbury but, again, I suspect that actual road users weren't consulted for ideas for solutions, before they came up with these proposals. Because of the class system it's presented to the public in an adversarial manner - thesis then antithesis etc. |

Well, there is the fact that lefties tend to look to create divisions in every way possible these days, but I don't think that's what these councils are up to. They have their own agenda, and they're hoping the environmentalist message will help them get it through. I suspect as has been noted that it is more about another (cynical) way of raising revenue.
The biggest problem in this country (and seemingly the world over) lately, is authorities who think the people are there for them, rather than the other way around, and this seems to be another part of that. ____________________ Chickenystripgeezer's Biking Life (Latest update 19/10/18) Belgium, France, Italy, Austria tour 2016 Picos de Europa, Pyrenees and French Alps tour 2017 Scotland Trip 1, now with BONUS FEATURE edit, 5/10/19, on page 2 Scotland Trip 2 Luxembourg, Black Forest, Switzerland, Vosges Trip 2017

Apart from the briefest of blips with Liz Truss, the Tories are so far to the left as to be on the horizon. The true lefties are beyond the horizon. ____________________ Chickenystripgeezer's Biking Life (Latest update 19/10/18) Belgium, France, Italy, Austria tour 2016 Picos de Europa, Pyrenees and French Alps tour 2017 Scotland Trip 1, now with BONUS FEATURE edit, 5/10/19, on page 2 Scotland Trip 2 Luxembourg, Black Forest, Switzerland, Vosges Trip 2017

The point is to export the pollution away from the centre of town and out to the ring-road. To some extent it's not an entirely mad idea, particulates and NOx don't disperse as quickly in the cities |
Given the size of Canterbury, and the proximity of the "ring road", I suspect it would make little difference. And it would depend on something as capricious as wind direction. Overall of course it is still an increase in overall pollution added to the atmosphere, and therefore laughable.
