Resisting20mph

Resisting relentless war on road users, through focussing public ire on the flood of new 20mph limits. Petitioning to reduce fixed penalty from 3 to 1 point.

@ZiaYusufUK I still don't follow it, surely these secure detention centres won't let these people out so who cares where they are?

[Farmers Take Action @FTA_uk_]

Let’s talk about the NFU.

Opinion across farming is deeply divided.
Some are die-hard supporters.
Others call it “No F**** Use.”**

Ministers say the NFU has their ear.
Many farmers say: “They don’t represent me.”

🔴 The NFU represents roughly 1 in 7 farmers.
While the exact figure isn’t publicly confirmed, it’s clear they do not represent the majority, and therefore do not have a mandate to speak for all farmers.
Despite the name, the NFU is not actually a union.

With a leadership contest looming — President vs Vice President —
the real question isn’t who wins…
it’s whether farmers want either of them at all.

Farmers are crying out for representation —
and increasingly that gap is being filled by grassroots groups,
run by volunteers, fighting for farmers in their “spare time” (if that exists).

So what could the alternative look like?

👉 A federation of grassroots groups
• Local voices kept local
• National coordination when it matters
• Shared legal, media and policy strength
• Reps elected from the ground up

👉 A properly unionised farmers’ body
• Member-mandated
• Balloted leadership
• Clear red lines with government

👉 Or a new hybrid model
• Services on one side
• Hard representation on the other

As an industry, we’ve learned a hard truth:
nobody is coming to save us — we have to represent ourselves.

❓ QUESTION FOR FARMERS:
Do you feel the NFU truly represents you —
or would a federation of grassroots groups be a better way forward?

👇 Let’s hear it. This conversation matters.

It’s not just Labour who imposed 20mph madness. Plaid Cymru voted it through too. This policy, pushed for ideological reasons, cost Welsh taxpayers tens of millions. Whatever you think of Labour, Plaid aren’t the answer.

Despite Brexit, the UK has retained EU tariff levels on most of its imports, only dropping tariffs below 2% that were seen as more of a nuisance than a revenue raiser by HMRC.

The UK has even retained its tariffs on goods that it cannot produce, such as its 10% tariff on fresh oranges. When queried about this, UK trade officials have claimed that this is to help negotiate trade deals.

Using tariffs as a negotiating tool is also one of @realDonaldTrump motivations, as well as improving national security, but that hasn’t stopped the outrage of some UK economic commentators who have been paying high EU levels of tariffs for so long that they have forgotten about them.

Commentators outraged at the idea of the US increasing its tariffs (even if only to the same level as their own), are claiming that it will be ruinous to the world economy, but the same commentators have never clamoured for the UK to lower its own tariffs (or its VAT) now that it has left the EU.

Several of the most outraged (@LibDems @thetimes @BBCNewsnight) are Remainers, who were once (are still?) desperate for the UK to return to the fold of the EU’s Customs Union and its high trade barriers and high tariffs, which apparently are not ruinous to the world economy nor even inflationary. 🙄

@Abandac123 Not so fast, that's an obvious way to avoid climate responsibility. The draft press release covers that, saying that holding (on a vehicle or on private property) over 10 litres of fuel will become a new net zero criminal offence punishable by a £1000 fine or 2 years in prison.

[Resisting20mph @resisting20mph]

Further analysis of Mad Ed Miliband's plans to limit fuel tanks to 20 litres, then 10 litres by 2030, and cap refuelling at 3 litres per minute - what will farmers, transport companies and petrol stations say? He's gone too far.

Shocking leak from Ed Miliband's department on proposed policy to 'balloon' fuel tanks to 20 litres max to 'level the playing field' for EVs.

Just days to go to rid ourselves of all of ULEZ and the dishonest london mayor

Please listen to my penultimate podcast on why ULEZ is only an attack on drivers wallets and been introduced as an easy cash grab by a financially inept politician. No impact on air quality whatsoever

The Times again shining a spotlight on 20mph madness!

[Resisting20mph @resisting20mph]

Excellent investigative report today by @thetimes on the 20mph scam, and editorial on the libertarian / freedom issues behind it.

Support the petition (see below)!

Do follow and support if you can, it's something you can do!

[Resisting20mph @resisting20mph]

Friends, we today launched our parliamentary petition calling for fixed penalty in 20mph zones to be dropped from 3 points to 1 point.

Enough already, resist - here's something everyone can do to protest!

Thank you @LoisPerry26 of @CAR26_ORG on the @Nanaakua1 show for that gentle push of our petition out to the good folk watching @GBNEWS

[Resisting20mph @resisting20mph]

@secale33 @LoisPerry26 @SupportFairFuel @CAR26_ORG @reformparty_uk Admiring your principles I'd prefer zero, and I'd support your petition. This petition was designed to get maximum support, and would help a lot of people keep their licences and thereby their livelihoods.

[Resisting20mph @resisting20mph]

@Christhemoaner @SupportFairFuel @CAR26_ORG @reformparty_uk Great idea, I'll support your petition. Motorists drive more carefully now, on safer roads in safer cars. But the chances of being snapped are far far higher, yet licences are still lost at the same 12 point level.

[Resisting20mph @resisting20mph]

@taskingtom @SupportFairFuel @CAR26_ORG @reformparty_uk Certainly not😑 Anyway that offence rightly carries penalties far more severe than mere points.

[Ambassador Seeotu @Seeotu]

The Times so strident about rigorous debate analysis and action to 'deal with CO2' yet resolutely unquestioning about why to do it at all! The Science is decided and forever, right? Or not? 😊 @CAR26_ORG

[Resisting20mph @resisting20mph]

Amazingly mainstream media ignores the rage of normal people at this 2-wheeled woke war on motorists. Don't they talk to their neighbours? @NicholasHellen

Emissions higher at lower speeds but they don't admit '20mph zones kill thousands' do they?
