I didn't catch the name of the idiot Tory on the BBC R4 Today programme, banging on about "blanket imposition" of 20 mph zones. I don't know what he thinks 30 mph zones are. Perhaps he thinks 30 mph is a universal constant like the speed of light. 'Blanket' was clearly the word he was told to emphasise though, and that's what he did. Short of introducing the work with a fanfare of trumpets, he couldn't have done much more.
Edit: It turns out to have been Mark Harper, Transport Minister. God help us if that's the calibre of Tory ministers...
Have a listen at about 8.10 am.
