Gutted that this article did not contain the electrifying utterance by Sunak that driving at 20mph is against British standards. Plenty of other guff, though.

Loss of freedom of movement was one of the concerns so their solution was to put movement behind a paywall (car ownership).

@FireRetardant @AngstyPony That's because what they claim to be concerned about (restriction of movement) is not what they are actually concerned about (promotion of cars). And they tie-in slogging your guts out with being able to break through that paywall.

Conspiracy mythology is often just a projection surface for represssed authoritarian ideologies, I guess.
