Justin Welby Caught Speeding

Meanwhile the godly Justin Welby has fallen foul of Comrade Khan’s speed cameras!
If he cares so much about climate change, why is not he using that cycle lane? After all Lambeth Palace is only a couple of miles away.
And if he does not fancy that, what is wrong with the Underground?

NOT A LOT OF PEOPLE KNOW THAT 
Couldn’t happen to a better woke moron than Welby.
For the sake of his flock, let’s hope that his adherence to his first religion is stronger than his adherence to this second one.
He ended up paying £510 for going not much faster than a cyclist. Ouch.

Why do 20 zones even exist? 30 is normal for built up areas.
As an aside, are EVs exempt from speed limits given all the hype of “acceleration”?
They exist so that Councils can extract increasing amounts of money from motorists. It has nothing to do with road safety or air quality, it is solely about money raising.
God works in mysterious ways, apparently!
The lord doth move in mysterious ways, sometimes too quickly!
🤣🤣🤣
“what is wrong with the Underground?”
It would take him too close to the devil.
Amusing as it is to see the woke Welby get his collar felt, a fine of £510 for driving at TWENTY FIVE miles per hour is frankly criminal.
He must have seriously provoked the magistrates in some way, normally if he’d just accepted the fixed penalty and sent the £100 fine and his driving license to have 3 points put on it that would have been the end of it and wouldn’t have made him liable for the extra £410.
Hmmm…..
“Do you know who I am” doesn’t work to well with a NIP.
Great minds think alike, Harry!
‘just days after King Charles’ Coronation’
What’s that got to do with anything? Click bait?
Coronation? and there was I thiking it was a Constipaion.
His speed runneth over perhaps.
Climate change measures are only for the little people
This rubbish about Welby really is a none story in my humble opinion. It just shows how pathetic our main stream news media really is. Here we are facing a energy crisis while seemingly going to war with Russia and the Mail serves us up this tripe !
While back in the real world Drax are poisoning people for the cause. At the same time reaping huge profits at the tax payers expense. Maybe Welby could use his position to shame this murderous scam.
Biomass’s status as a renewable energy source is controversial, as environmentalists and scientists say growing trees in order to burn the wood is not sustainable. Drax power station is the UK’s single biggest source of CO2 emissions, according to one think tank. The company claims to only use waste wood and sawdust, but investigations have found that environmentally important primary forests are felled in order to get burned and create electricity for the UK market.
Pollution from the pellet plant, she said, had “caused increased health issues of asthma, breathing issues, upper respiratory issues, lung cancer among the local residents, especially the young to elderly population, which includes my mother. My mother is suffering from respiratory and breathing issues.
Despite these accusations, Drax reported its highest ever annual profits – £731m in 2022, up from £398m in 2021 – in part thanks to spiralling energy costs. Controversially, Drax is subsidised by the UK government, receiving £617m in 2022, according to think tank Ember.

“…a none story [a non-story]…”
I tend to agree
For some reason, which I do not pretend to understand, the English people care passionately about “hypocrisy” (the sin of pretending to virtue) and very little about more substantial sins and follies. Men of the Enlightenment knew better: “It was worse than a crime – it was a folly!” (Gibbon,) even should those sins and follies be damaging the Nation rather obviously and rather badly.
Almost by definition, hypocrisy is a matter for an individual when he faces his conscience, and is nobody else’s business. Furthermore, to accuse someone of being a hypocrite as part of a an argument is ad hominem and a logical fallacy.
That Prime Minister Johnson, for example, broke his own lockdown rules is something I care nothing about. He could have rolled around all day with smuggled-in fresh whores without it bothering me in the slightest. That he was a bloody fool, gave in to secret pressure from the public-service unions from the beginning, enthusiastically copied Communist China, imposed medical fascism while knowing no science, all the while with the the gung-ho support of almost every nodding-head idiot in the country…that bothered me then and it bothers me now.
Welby will presumably continue to spout his left-wing nonsense. That is his job.
It must be the 2nd time he has been caught in the last 3 years. 25 in a 20 would put you on a Speed Awareness course the first time.
I glimpsed a small news item that a Labour politician proposed that the urban speed limit should be ten miles per hour; we are nearing the red flag speed of early motoring.
The 20 miles per hour is nonsense for the most part but ten?
The same can be said for almost every speed limit, particularly motorways, A roads without curves, dual carriageways (and some others even if not A roads). Most are there purely for revenue raising.
>>The 20 miles per hour is nonsense
A person who can drive at under 20mph without continuously looking at the speedometer and taking their eyes off the road doesn’t exist. The options are clear – keep below the limit and injure others or ignore the limit and hurt no one.
The original intention – to have limits around schools at the times when the children are arriving and leaving – seems to have suffered from ‘mission creep.’
I think that mission creep in this country may be a misnomer for ‘the real idea all along.’
It gets worse. Not unusual to see 20 limits (even in km/h and not mph in some European mainland countries) in residential areas and children playing in the road as a result of that insanity.
>>limits around schools
The effect in France is particularly noticeable. Fifty years ago, travel on N Roads was pleasant enough as you only had to reduce speed to 50 km/hr as you went through the towns and villages. Occasionally you would have to stop at a crossing. Now it is horrible because every couple of kilometers there comes a substantial stretch of crawling
The problem, of course, goes back to the fact that in small settlements, before motorcars, the main through-road and the main shopping-road were one and the the same. They are trying to fix the problem by furnishing every town with bypasses, built of chains of roundabouts, on the outskirts; and THIS also makes for a horrible driving experience. At least potholes in France are rare!
Perhaps the extortionate tax on diesel and petrol in France actually gets used for maintaining the roads unlike the UK and most other European countries.
Two euros per litre for diesel let alone petrol is way out of order. The extortionate tax on fuel is a problem everywhere in Europe, but the price at the pump in France is around 30 eurocents higher than other countries.
>>At least potholes in France are rare!
And the last thing said to him as got into his car? “God speed.”
I detest the man, but in what world is 25mph speeding? They should have written: ‘Exceeding the stupid, revenue-raising limit.’

Doesn’t seem to be any clear increasing trend in damage Swiss franc cost wise.
The C of E seems to be liable to Global Wetting.
At the moment, some of our electricity sources:
Wind 7 %
Solar 8 %
Europe 29 %
We certainly are relying upon the kindness of friends.
Way off topic, but interesting as fundamental science:

Can we get a sermon on the evils of government spying on the citizenry?
Nah. Communists’ core belief is freedom is bad.
