    I have never smoked so I just don’t get why people do it especially with the health risks. Saying that I like a drink or two and that can be just as addictive and also has health risks.

    Some roads in Wales will revert to 30mph following backlash at the Welsh government's £34m default 20mph policy.

    Transport minister Ken Skates said the changes will address the concerns that "a lot of people" have raised "on a consistent basis".

    "We've put our hands up to say the guidance has to be corrected," he said.

    Swansea council leader Rob Stewart welcomed the change, but said the government must help foot the bill to swap signage.

    Mr Skates highlighted the almost half a million signatures to a Senedd petition opposing the policy, brought in under former first minister Mark Drakeford and his transport minister Lee Waters.

    "I have friends and family who have signed the petition," he said.

    Mr Skates was put in charge of transport for Wales on 21 March after Vaughan Gething succeeded Mr Drakeford.

    But the policy has also enjoyed support from groups including those representing cyclists, while some people have even called for it to be extended to areas not covered in the rollout to help make their communities safer.

    "There is generally universal support for 20mph being targeted in areas where there are schools, built up areas like housing estates, and outside hospitals and so-forth," he told North Wales Live on Friday.

    "But in many areas, routes that shouldn't have been included, were."

    He said the changes will enable individual councils to revert routes back to 30mph where appropriate, adding that this will allow for "radical" changes, if that is "what people want".

    Always came across as a Drakeford vanity project to me.

    He wouldn't listen. Was his lasting legacy he hoped. Dripford as he is known.

    What is wrong with people? It's probably good that they've been caught at this stage because, ultimately, it would no doubt have manifested into much worse. Don't many serial killers often start with animals?

    It's unsurprising that the ring leader is from the loopy MAGA cult in America as well

    The sick bastard in the US is facing up to 5 years in prison, I'll be amazed if 'our' sickos face any serious jail time, I hope I'm wrong. I'm very pleased that both the evil bitches mentioned in the article have been doxed, whatever the consequences it won't be as harrowing as what the baby monkeys in their videos were subjected to. :angryfire

    Since starting work for probation I've become a recluse. I hardly go out anymore because once you learn just how many dangerous and/or psychotic people are living in your area you're constantly looking over your shoulder.
