Farage's English supremacists are also making inroads in Wales

Logan Mountstuart is a character in a novel by William Boyd, but I had to spell it a bit differently. I like riding my bike, nature stuff, transition to living sustainably, learning Welsh and not tolerating bullying. I'm not American.

Oh, and a Welsh seagull on a campsite swooped down and took a hot sausage right off our hot barbecue.
Give me a hint where this is someone - fortunately the Argus won't let me read their stories.

23.06.2025 08:09 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0This does suppose that people vote for (or against) policies though. Reform voters mostly vote for the name, and whatever they imagine it represents.

27.05.2025 12:07 โ ๐ 1 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0And I agree with you that the assumption that cars are normal neutral objects on the road is part of the problem. But I'm not sure that an implied assumption of fault on the driver's part is going to work well.
27.05.2025 11:13 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0I'm sorry to go on Gareth - the guidelines are great but I don't think you used them properly in this case. I looked through the examples and I couldn't see any which came close to yours.
27.05.2025 11:12 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0It's not easy is it? I don't know how best to describe collisions, but it should probably use neutral language. If a driver claimed whiplash injury after stopping to avoid a child in the road, we wouldn't write 'child injured diver' would we? That implies blame, as did your suggestion.
27.05.2025 11:00 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0Please just read your words back Gareth (Driver injures ...) and see if there's a better way. I support what you're trying to achieve, but I think you've made a mistake with your wording.
27.05.2025 10:48 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0That's good but it doesn't back up what you said. We can't always assume all the fault is on the driver.

24.05.2025 08:25 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0Or like saying we shouldn't accept any change because we've accepted the dangers of the thing we've become used to.
19.05.2025 11:53 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0And how's the evidence looking for cars driven by human drivers then?
19.05.2025 10:49 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0Well of course there's no evidence of 100% safety - never will be. Autonomous vehicles will bring about changed behaviour. What I hope to see is less car ownership and more shared use eg self driving taxis. This could reduce the sense of entitlement of drivers and move us away from motonormativity.
19.05.2025 09:25 โ ๐ 3 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0I prefer it if cars didn't run over people.
19.05.2025 09:10 โ ๐ 3 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 2 ๐ 0You can see incompetent and reckless drivers every time you're out on the road. Could autonomous vehicles do worse?
19.05.2025 07:57 โ ๐ 1 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 3 ๐ 0Good point. Even though those people will never know it was them. I will read your paper. Thanks again.
15.05.2025 19:38 โ ๐ 1 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0Excellent video. I agreed with all of it and learnt a few things, but I'm just left thinking about poor Lee Waters who had his political career destroyed by the reaction to the 20 limit in Wales. I don't see how any political party can take on motor normativity and survive. Feeling despondent now.
15.05.2025 19:28 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0Ahj GCN, of course! Thanks.
15.05.2025 18:36 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0Please can you recommend any resources (slides, videos etc) as an introduction to motonormativity? Perhaps you've done something yourself!
