Morons who needlessly decide to close the roads and/or put temporary traffic lights "for safety" should be personally liable for lost time and fuel.

General Discussion for politics in the UK.
Please don't post to both [email protected] and [email protected] .
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.
Posts should be related to UK-centric politics, and should be either a link to a reputable news source for news, or a text post on this community.
Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.
If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread. (These things should be publicly discussed)
Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.
Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.
[email protected] appears to have vanished! We can still see cached content from this link, but goodbye I guess! :'(

Libertarians everywhere are delighted.
Yes. Good for him, and for everyone who got to use his road too!
Note that
Despite the Kelston Toll Road not being approved by the local council, Watts hadn’t committed a crime.
The road was in use for 14 weeks before the council asked for retrospective approval and the nearby highway A431 reopened early.
He stopped because there was no longer construction for drivers to avoid by paying his toll.
You only need to see how young Tom Scott looks in the video to know this is indeed very old news. They seem to have necroposted this thing from 10 years ago and posted it now without any reference about when the events happened, to make it seem relevant/recent.
This actually genius!
Worth a scroll for the video.
