Natasha Asghar: One year on from Wales' 20mph default speed limit

Labour, Plaid Cymru and Lib Dems ... so that would be the overwhelming majority then Natasha? There is a case to be made for reviewing arterial routes but we can all see what you and your party are up to. Political point scoring. Your party has ruined the lives of millions across the UK but you persist in playing to your (admittedly noisy minority) gallery over a poxy speed limit. Good grief, there are far more important things to concern ourselves with. Things like, how does the Welsh Nation manage to pursue its own progress in the face of abjectly awful UK governments and brain dead Unionism.

A year on the world continues to orbit the sun and life goes on, about time she concentrated on more important issues.

Reads like a school essay, using ‘only time will tell’ multiple times. Other than that it’s the usual tory mantra, totally ignoring the fact that they were the worst UK government in recorded history. Labour and the Conservatives have nothing to offer Wales. Plaid Cymru are the only ones who have our interests at heart.

She, like all those objectors to the 20 mph limit, is at war against pedestrians. There are many towns and villages here in Cymru where idiotic drivers drive recklessly at ridiculous speed and one day an innocent person will be killed because a driver will follow Ms Asghar’s line of thought and ignore the safety of pedestrians

I still don't have a problem with it. How many turned out today? The protest the other day had what, 30 people? 50? 100? I saw more farmers by orders of magnitude than the anti 20 and they had a lower petition count by some. Which leads me to question how the petitions can be gamed. The safety aspect, consider this, would you want to be hit by a two ton car at 20 or 30? Remember battery cars are hefty things and a lot quieter now. Your party has fixated on the "anti car" trope. You thought you had a way in with London after Boris ran away (remember him, the liar and cheat?)and Tory narrowly won Uxbridge and tried to game "anti car" as an issue in the mayoral race. The candidate in London from the Cons lost biggly, the bloke that wanted make people safer won. I see more and more 20's coming in across the UK and EU. It is not a problem. But like that dog with a manky bone that just wont go away, the Welsh Cons keep at it. Inmate being released, well that was your party legacy to the nation when your party crashed and burned the UK, your old boss in No10, he (they) had that train wreck about to land in his lap. He was warned by many in the industry and judiciary and police but did sod all. If you had won the GE, this would still be happening. Grayling got a lordship for messing up the probation service. Remember him? Hired a ferry company with no ferries. Clothes for Mrs Starmer, I didn't hear the Welsh Cons complain when Boris was getting food from select deliveries paid for. Among the many other things he took. I would rather no one got gifts but how was Boris wedding on Bamfords estate? How was Boris holiday o at a freebie Italian chalet? Who ponied up for his holidays? How was Sunak with £30K from a medical start up? You complaining about them? The Welsh cons leader trumpeted the Lettuce lady arrival as a great thing ( Mr Davies always picks a loser) and we are what, 2 Truss's in and markets are reasonably stable? Now we see that labour are trying to deal with your mess. Will they sort it? Who knows, heating allowance is awful but remember your party put millions more in poverty, unable to heat in the winter that will never see the allowance anyway for decades and pushed millions to use food banks. You lot never look at those facts. But the Cons never had a plan apart from selling the UK off to who ever gave your party a bung. PPE contracts blew a tidy sum of loot we could do with now You campaigning for Hester's loot to be given back? Or has it been spent. I want to know how you will hold Labour to account in the Senedd on the NHS, not the 20. Start by getting a new leader.

Such a depressing drivel of an article, unfortunately typical in our current political climate. Natasha, you can't focus on anything concrete and what you'd actually change, but instead just slag off others. "We would revoke Labour’s policy and instead adopt a targeted, common sense, approach to get our country moving again and stop frittering money away on pet projects." That's all you have to say about what you'd change in, in the entire article? And it's as wishy washy as it can get. Please provide more concrete ideas one wjyiyoud actually do, instead of creating hate and worry. P.S. - the conservatives have been against it since day one? Really? From 20splenty.org "in September 2018 a debate was held in Senedd tabled by Welsh Conservative members with cross party support from Welsh Labour, Plaid Cymru, Lib-Dems and independens to introduce legislation so that a 20mph speed limit becomes the standard speed limit in Welsh residential areas". I assume (perhaps too wishfully) that most Welsh conservatives still understand common sense and that 20mph is a net good for the country. That's what the Welsh conservatives along with all other parties have pushed for this since day one. Don't try to change your tune just for political points. This is tiring and unhelpful

Not here and no longer it seems but didn’t Ms Asghar use many times the ‘hugely controversial’ term ‘blanket’ endangering the public with the ‘drastic’ use of misinformation? Has she ever condemned the criminal damage of the 20mph signs? Does she ever admit to herself that ‘25 years of Labour’ is not because we love them so but, as we have just shown yet again, our people DO NOT WANT HER PARTY HERE? Just asking.

Natasha, please, get the hint. The Welsh just do not want the conservatives, their vile inhumane views or their corrupt and filthy politicians here. You've kicked the 20 mph can down the road for long enough now, and quite frankly, watching you all continue this rather strange and embarrassing fetish for the 20mph thing is just getting like watching uncomfortable comedy.

"One year ago today, the Welsh Government’s hugely controversial and extremely costly 20mph speed limit policy came into force." This is just Tory carcass worrying

Can we now have a balancing article from a politician/s in favour of the 20MPH rules? I travel into Lloegr often and frequently pass through urban areas with 20 zones, yet I have never heard the vocal objects or co-ordinated vehemence I hear in Cymru.......

This week’s comedy gold.
