On Tuesday I roared across town and idly noticed that "they" had done yet more alterations to that end of the High Street that they keep fucking up. This time where the Taxi rank used to be they had daubed double yellow lines and the extra upright lines on the kerb which means "Super NO PARKING", plus some strange black and white chequerboad on the kerbstones "Supa Ultra + NO PARKING" ? though I've never seen that in the Highway Code. Oh dear, they've shifted the Taxi rank even further away from the pedestrianised area and the multiple bus stops too. My, how sad that they have also removed those few short term parking bays that were so handy for the disabled and elderly when doing their shopping.
Today, Thursday 29th Sept, I was reading my weekly local paper which had a major article detailing proposed new arrangements for the City Centre which are total bollox and will cause all sorts of problems but never mind because we The Public and our local businesses are going to be "CONSULTED". You know, asked our opinion, do we think it will work, could it be done another way? We are to be consulted for 2 hours one wet and windy evening later in October in a Primary School with no car park and, now, even less on street parking.
The jist of it is to make yet more of the City car free which I don't have a problem with since it was car free from Roman times until quite recently.
Hold on, thinks I; they have already created all the infrastructure to enforce their stupid new scheme. What sort of consultation is that? Consultation? Insultation more like!
What triggered Dr. Peter Gleick to do identify fraud on Jan 27th?

Monkeys could do a better job, mate, and we all know that "consultation" is nothing of the sort - just cast your mind back to Clegg's first "public consultation" website - consultation, my arse!
Hi Barkers, nice to see you mate. I took another look at the chequerboard kerbstones, they have a 2 inch upward 'lip' between the pavement and the road just to make them cripple-proof and spastic unfriendly.
I'm going up there @3A.M. when the pissheads emerge from 'clubbing' to find their age old taxi rank "gone" and then trip arse over tit and smash their heads thanks to the enhanced kerbatage.
Anyone know the number of a good anbulance chasing lawyer?
Its all about control of movement and generally of people.
Every obstacle "they" put up carries with it an infraction of the law should it be ignored. This will dissuade many and others will be incarcerated (depending on the infraction) but either way result in control of peoples movement.
For the life of me I do not know why more do not see this design be it from the U.N., E.U., American and British socialists or in general 'One Worlders' such as Al Gore, Prince Charles to name a couple and the Bilderburgs?
Interesting analysis Chris, certainly animprovement on the age old "bloody control freaks" though I expect that te end result is much the same.
The local roads are closed today (Sunday) so WATCH THIS SPACE for what they do which we are being consulted about in two weeks time.
"The local roads are closed today (Sunday)"
WTF? Is there construction?
If not, this solidifies my previous comment in that closing them on Sunday is the first step in behavioral modification or Re Education as it is in practice.
It is traditional to close local roads on sunday to carry out minor repairs or to redesignate them "one way", "no-entry" or whatever evil plans they have which they are yet to CONSULT us about.
Banned, We to in the States have certain roads closed on weekends for repair but only small fractions with many ways around the work.
The way you phrased it "The local roads are closed today (Sunday)" gave me pause.
I wish to know more as you say it is "traditional" as that would presuppose a consistent and concerted, for some time now, pattern of deliberate discombobulation of the populous.
It could be our different way of speaking English that I may be misunderstanding your verbiage?
But if not, well you folks are in a bigger world of shit than I have imagined!
Sunday road closures do not, so far as I know, form part of any vile and disgusting EU/BBC plot Chris; it's just an assumption that fewer people will be driving around town on the Lords Day though that is no longer certain given the attractions of our funky new Shopping Mall which attracts country dwellers from far and wide.
Back to the point. I did get up there at 4am to witness unusual numbers of "clubbers" milling around at the end of the High Street baffled and confused because they could not see their beloved Taxi Rank and clearly in fear of having to WALK home.
Somebody must have tipped off the Police about possible trouble, they were still hanging around way past their usual bedtime of 03:45am.
The only thing I know about British traffic is that you folks drive on the wrong side or maybe its we Yanks. I have noticed, however about the time one gets familiar with something its then that its changed. I find this is always happening at the local market---just when I've manage to locate something, the next time I'm in the mart its been moved to another spot, seemingly to confuse me.
These idiotic morons who ruin, aka "run" cities always pretend to "consult" the citizens before they ram through another stupid rule designed to screw us. They really suck.
There is usually a statutory requirement for councils to consult but none for them to be bound, influenced or otherwise obliged to take any notice of the results thereof. You have to campaign long, hard and brutally to beat bastard council officers (though it can be done with enough time and energy which very very few people care enough to give).
