@MrsLund1 Walesonline have confused low risk with low air quality.
All of Wales is green at the moment.

@benonwine Driver. Way too close.

@Middlesaxon2 @SeneddWaste Pop over to statswales and then do the maths.
It changes every quarter, obviously.

[Johnny Plectrum @johnnyplectrum]

@Middlesaxon2 @SeneddWaste Such as the value of casualty prevention.

@Middlesaxon2 @SeneddWaste In two years 20mph has generated economic benefits in excess of its implementation costs.

@ABridgen Plain confusion from the Reuter’s feed, clarified decades ago.
There was a great deal of confusion on that day.
“We’re getting reports that the Salomon building has collapsed” and “might collapse” is not a stretch.
It was cordoned off regardless.

@Jenny_1884 If you alter what is paid then the system would have to change to afford it.
Pension would be less and / or paid later.
I’d prefer mine larger and sooner rather than someone else get it when I die.

@EPriceJourno To be fair, despite the fact that she struggles with maths, statistics and critical thinking, she has managed to get 25 people onto the Senedd steps to protest this award-winning, life-saving, economy-boosting legislation.

@JohnDicey01 @rorysutherland That's trying to shoehorn the word "addiction" into a place it doesn't belong.
We get used to having nicotine in our system and it feels odd when we stop using it.
Genuine addictions can't be cured by just deciding to quit.
See also caffeine.

[Johnny Plectrum @johnnyplectrum]

@JohnDicey01 @rorysutherland Nicotine addiction is a myth.
Any addiction that can be cured by going to bed and having a nice long sleep is no addiction at all.
See also chocolate, fruit machines, gambling etc.

@rorysutherland Tortoise, every time.
No one wants anyone else's secondhand vape.

@MikeAndrew26800 @SeneddWaste You do know that Wales isn’t an island?

[Johnny Plectrum @johnnyplectrum]

@GordonFbpe @realjessica Despite the simplicity of Google it’s staggering how many people on social media don’t understand the basics of the asylum process.
I’m sure they’d be far less stressed if they spent the time that they spent ignorantly ranting on social media on Google, doing a little research.

[Johnny Plectrum @johnnyplectrum]

@jenkszy @SeneddWaste No, they don’t.
I’ve spent my entire career improving the economy through infrastructure.
If we can find a spare £2bn there are far better things to spend it on than the M4.

[Johnny Plectrum @johnnyplectrum]

@jenkszy @SeneddWaste Then try the M8, M42, M5, M6 & M25 etc etc.
Just the same - you're not special.
Suck it up.

[Johnny Plectrum @johnnyplectrum]

@jenkszy @SeneddWaste You need to get out more.

[Johnny Plectrum @johnnyplectrum]

@LlyrPowell You couldn’t yet unsurprisingly you did!

[Johnny Plectrum @johnnyplectrum]

@Ajl1959xy @AbolishWestmin Nothing’s in store.
The demolition of the building next to Crescent Rd car park is progressing nicely though.

[Johnny Plectrum @johnnyplectrum]

@RichardGage_911 Because WTC7 was poorly designed unfortunately and susceptible to disproportionate collapse.
