    Yes, I’m very pro-death. I’m glad you noticed because sometimes people suggest my arguments are a bit too nuanced for people with low reading comprehension, but you’ve got straight to the key point and correctly identified my pro-death views.

      OK dude. But hilarious sarcasm aside, if you don’t think these actions should be opposed do you think any manifesto item of an elected official should be given a pass?

        No. There are obviously limits. ‘Exterminate [ethnic group]’ should obviously not be given a pass even if you get 100% in a fair referendum.

        However, ‘these traffic calming measures cause more harm than good’ might be the wrong view to hold (and almost always is, IMO), but it’s not wrong on a fundamental level.

        If the court decides taking them out is unlawful then, hey, it’s unlawful, but I don’t think it’s inconsistent of me to be slightly worried about judicial activism of this kind.

          OK, so you don’t actually disagree with either the community opposition or any potential judicial opinion blocking the measures (provided the basis is in applicable law). Your initial comment reads a little differently.
