Rachel will 100% shit on Stephen in the final if she’s there. He had the perfect opportunity to get rid of her a take all the money. Idiot. #TheTraitors
@SamH_91@Realistikk_@bruce_barrett@Breaking911 Not trying to offend you or anything, but how can we trust the credibility of a random graph with no cited source.
We can just make a graphic and claim anything tbh
@Realistikk_@bruce_barrett@Breaking911 It’s pretty idiotic that you compare small European countries that have a fraction of the US population. Petty and knife related crimes in the UK are competing with the frequency of the entire North American population.
U should move over to Somalia, they have less casualties
@Realistikk_@bruce_barrett@Breaking911 Yeah remember what happened at that Ariana Grande concert? I don’t think we had that problem either bud😂
If everyone carries, then that’d be a much bigger deterrent to start some shit, instead of sitting around hopeless with cop sirens in the background
@RejoinP Should just ignore the war in Ukraine? The failure of the Tories and Labour governments? The ludicrous net zero policies, taxing farmers? The list goes on.

Now can you see why we need to Rejoin?
@JeremyVineOn5@nelufar calling people who vote for Reform a protest vote is absolutely clueless and she’ll be in for a huge shock in the next election 😏
Are Reform fit for power?
They achieved an impressive result in the Hamilton by-election, coming a close third to the SNP.
But despite recent successes, the party has been embroiled in a row over banning the burka, which led to their chairman resigning.
Are they too chaotic?
@JeremyVineOn5 Con men, grifters, and charlatans. Not fit for governance, but for some reason this show show keeps promoting and pushing their ridiculous narratives
@JeremyVineOn5 Another racists ejected from Reform as she showed her true hand. Whilst they operate by dividing the country - they usually try more subtle ways. They will con some of the people some of the time but most of us see right through their manipulative ways.
@JonA_2112@JeremyVineOn5 When an incident occurs causing all lanes to stop. The ❌ doesn’t work because the traffic is backed right up at the moment of the incident blocking all lanes. This is when it is important to have a hard shoulder to use to bypass the traffic.
@SamH_91@JeremyVineOn5 Emergency service incident arrival and attendance time is better on all smart motorway types than on conventional motorways.
Why?
Because use of ❌ lanes permits access lanes to be set initially. If additional units are needed then reverse flow can be facilitated.
It works.
Do we need to scrap smart motorways?
New figures show there are three times as many recorded breakdowns on them.
The AA says this is a major concern, but National Highways says they're still our safest roads.
Would you be in favour of phasing smart motorways out?
@SamH_91@JeremyVineOn5 I've ended up completely stuck on a hard shoulder far more times than I've been stuck working through traffic. The second that traffic stops, people start figuring they can use the hard shoulder instead and then there's nowhere for anybody to go.
@JonA_2112@JeremyVineOn5 I didn’t say they didn’t?
The first attending emergency services will never be initially looking for reverse flow access to incidents, they will be travelling to the incident with the correct flow of traffic. They are usually the most important for saving people’s lives.
@SamH_91@JeremyVineOn5 Because the public never, ever block hard shoulders preventing/delaying emergency services getting to the scene of incidents.
Smart motorways allow for reverse flow access to incidents. Traditional motorways do not.

@standingtraffic@JeremyVineOn5 Yes there are these options but when time is critical and you are sat completely still because traffic is blocking all lanes, with little to no option for traffic to move across, it’s not good. Having that hard shoulder could be vital.
@SamH_91@JeremyVineOn5 Access lanes, reverse access, access from opposite carriageway... Or even just good old fashioned working through traffic. There's always options.
@hines_stephen@JeremyVineOn5 It’s not easy access, what do you think happens the moment an incident happens blocking all lanes? The traffic is instantly backed up across all lanes. I have been to lots of incidents on smart motorways and they often make it much harder to get to the incident.
@JeremyVineOn5 I work as a firefighter, one huge issue with smart motorways is that emergency services can’t get to incidents on the motorway in a timely manner because there is no hard shoulder to use to bypass all the traffic caused.
