Britain is a democracy - same with council elections. So its rather obvious if the changes **** off the locals their competitor will overturn it to win at the next election.
It isnt China addicted to the Lucifer Effect.

Thats because without polution there is no rain. The polution particles are heavy and they get attacted to water molecules and that makes them drop. So rain.

I’m a bit out of date as I haven’t lived in Oxford for years, but I always found their park and ride maddening.
It cost significant cash to ‘pay and display’ as well as your bus ticket. It was completely uneconomic to not park at the Westgate centre (in town), which was also quicker to do than catch the bus…
If you want people to use public transport, which I’m not against using in principle, then it at least needs to be as good (but ideally better) as just driving. And definitely not a ‘crap option’.
Oxford has always been a miserable place to be IMO. The City just sort of hates itself. Everything is needlessly crap and difficult.
Does anyone remember how long they took to put in that super awkward bypass/junction in at the top of Abingdon Road close to the A34?! At the Kennington Roundabout. My god!

LTNs aren't about emissions, polution, health or anything like that, otherwise electric cars would be allowed through. They have the tech, the ones near me that aren't physically blocked off are monitored by anpr cameras.
Are you really trying to suggest khan 'rigged' the consultation? Pretty crap rigging, it went from 59.4% opposed to a whopping 62.4% opposed with those extra numbers.
For the record, I wasn't consulated so naturally it was indeed rigged.

I think history disproves that over and over again.
Survivor (the TV show) isnt history, but I get your point.
Air pollution 'causes more rain - but also less rain' - edie
It is an argument that has divided experts, but now scientists believe they have the answer to the question of whether air pollution increases or decreases rainfall.

I was just joking about why there was no rain in the pictures of car free towns. Rather than saying why would they take the pictures when its raining.

Fair enough.
A smiley at the end would have helped though as some of us struggle to pick up on stuff like that.

I struggle and no it would not look smug, it would be interpreted as humour.
So the traffic now has to take a detour to the longer way around so they give out even more polution
