But people aren't objects that can be shifted around on a board. If people don't consent to something then they resist, like they are doing here in the UK with the road cameras. People just keep cutting the poles down and there is nothing the government can do.
The same is happening with the new 20mph speed limits imposed across Wales. People have just painted over the signs.
At the end of the day people have to consent to be governed otherwise governance is extremely troublesome.
This will cheer you up. Because the poles were getting cut down, the mayor decided to use vans with cameras on them but then people just blocked the vans in and spray painted them:
A certain rich celebrity chef wanted to enjoy his expensive, fast cars. What to do about speeding cameras? He claimed that if you put cling wrap on the plates, the cameras won't be able to read the plates and it's hard for people to see the cling wrap.
The Empire views its citizens as a resource to be exploited at most, and as an unavoidable inconvenience at worst.
The Empire has given $3,800 and counting for every Ukrainian man, woman and child, all with no real oversight or accountability. Meanwhile, the citizens of East Palestine cannot get so much as a hotel voucher.
Though in fairness, the article you linked to only mentioned people painting over signs in a couple of places in Wales, which implies that the Welsh are pretty compliant, too. Not as compliant as the Scots, no doubt, but still pretty compliant . . .
I agree they would love it.

I am so heartened to hear about the people resisting there.

Yes indeed!!
Love to hear about this!

I haven't tested it.
Many thanks of links. I am not up to speed on Wales but I note Mark Drakeford, First Minister for Wales.
he introduced the stupid 'Firebreak'. I did a very long post on my WordPress site, not for the faint hearted.

'Dr drama Fokker' is an anagram of his name. He is silly. So a silly Fokker! :)

That really is a disgrace.
BINGO!!!
I wish they were painting over the signs around where I live in Scotland.
Yes Nicola Sturgeon seemed to have successfully linked Scottish identity with compliance with all the covid/trans/net zero policies.
It's a bit disappointing.
Crazy thing is, the Scotch didn't use to be known for compliance! Historically, they were a feisty bunch
I guess the sheep is now the Scottish national symbol.

No they are definitely not compliant:

Not bad, not bad. But there is room for improvement!
It would be good to fight back against the nonsense. I tried.

Glad the people are not putting up with it.
Painting over the signs are they? Oh good! And hello from the south of England.
Wish the USA had such liberty-loving individualistic citizens.
