Clearly Wael is a man of great insight and good taste - that's why he's hooked up with us.
But why was one G Ferguson sitting next to him in the box - was he a gatecrasher ?
G Ferguson lives within a cough & spit from that thing that looks like a one-armed apprentice plumber's project, wears red (ugh) trousers and been a one-man disaster in Bristol. On any one of those points alone, he should be barred. He even has a red (ugh)face too, surely from embarrassment rather than anger. |

What annoys me about red trousers is I remember him banging his drum saying vote for him and he will guarantee a new stadium for us planning wise.
When it hit the fan with trash he did nothing in terms of voice his outrage or pull strings at council level and then employed the sewer rat that was Radish and the cause of all the trouble as deputy mayor and minister of sport for Bristol.
How does that work?
Can't wait to see the back of the car hating shehead failure. The sooner the better.

Bristol is supposed to be the Green Capital in Europe. Yet thanks to Ferguson's 'take back the city centre' approach, our residential area is choked with traffic - so we are sucking in more car fumes. Thanks George. But at the same time traffic in the city is still very heavy. So it's lose-lose, George. And I am a car lover !

Perhaps it's just clever PR by Wael ie get the local Mayor on your side, something NH seriously lacked with his apparent "I'm always right" approach.

The greens were in charge of Brighton for years. It ended with the city having one of the lowest recycling percentages in the UK and some of the highest polution (and its right next to the sea so you'd expect clean air at least. The imposition of a widely ignored 20mph limit and badly designed bus routes has led to chaos and buses backed up everywhere. The irony! |

And when I do drive into town I do so in my gas guzzling V8 because it takes 3 hours to do the same journey by bus. So in effect, its more enviromentally friendly than a chuggling diesel bus engine as I go direct rather than round the houses to get there. Well thats the line Im using anyway. |

I thought we in the Bristol area had one of the best household waste recycling rates = well done us.
The issue about air pollution is clearly a serious one worldwide. There are boffins who can make / invent / develop alternatives to the internal combustion engine, but without government pressure (ie Uk, EU, Utd Nations) then change will be slow. We had a ride recently in a Tesla car. All electric with a stunning performance and range of around 300 miles - but they cost about £64k !!
One thing's for sure, the answer isn't bicycles.

A new one is planned next year @ £30k so getting there ! |

Interestingly, according to wiki: Planning permission was given by the unitary authority of Brighton and Hove in June 2002, with the intention of the stadium being ready for the 2005–06 season.[4] The plans for the stadium were fought by neighbouring Lewes District Council and local residents. While the stadium lies completely within Brighton and Hove, part of the north-east of the site is in Lewes. Bennet's field as it is known is now used for parking. |

Interesting, I always thought Falmer was in Lewes. Explains why it took them so long to get the thing built. |

Then imagine trying to get something built in North Somerset. Then imagine trying to get something built partly in Bristol and partly in North Somerset. Oh, yeah, we don't have to imagine. Not even Billionaires can do that. |

Free markets solve problems; Chimney sweeps back in the day had a terrible plight and were the focus of much hand wringing. Laws were passed. Market invents electric heating. Solution. Smoking causing deaths and illness. NHS/public sector solution - crap niccorrtte products that don't work at massive expense, whilst creaming off billions in cigarette tax, even "support groups" so dumb middle class women can have a well paid touchy feely job. Free market invents the electronic cigarette - solution. They're trying hard to get their grubby tax sucking hands on the revenue, even rubbished them so they could keep profiting from death (cig tax is substantially more than cost of smoking as official stats ignore the fact smokers die younger) Pollution and climate change - tax and shaming has been the main weapon used - oh, and lots of conferences. Free market invents electric car. Simples. |

George Ferguson, Charlotte Leslie etc. all in it for one thing.
I think once you recognise that, seeing them do PR at the football etc. isn't so annoying.
