An RAC report warns of possible gridlock on key road routes in the English midlands by 2041:

Busy roads facing threat of gridlock - News - Burton Mail

Britannist adds: Halt immigration to stop the overcrowding from getting worse - more people mean more cars, more gridlock and more carbon emissions. Labour want more immigrants and less carbon emissions - but more immigrants mean more carbon emissions.

What's the time now?

By 2041? There are already days where the M1 looks more like a car park. The same goes with the M4 and M5, especially in the summer months.

It's 1856 but I won't use the '24 hour' continental european clock: so it is precisely 4 minutes to 7 O' clock.

The average speed of a vehicle in London is now about 6 miles per hour I believe.

Which would mean that it could actually (during peak travel times) take longer to drive from one end of Greater London to the other (30 miles) than it would take to drive up the M1 from the capital to Leeds.

It wont just be the roads, Trains Buses and underground too. And the sky over Britain as some of these migrants go back to visit loved ones in their own countries.

Yes, huge levels of immigration have caused many problems. And most of those who have encouraged or facilitated this immigration to our land (mostly europhiles) live in wealthy parts of the capital with few or no immigrants.

I don't think we'll have to wait until 2041 even down here in so called sleepy Devonshire. In the Torbay area "rush hour" appears to last all day Summer and Winter!

It's the same story for Cornwall and the A30!

Expect expensive road charging via the EU Galileo satellite 'spy in the sky' 'system' in your part of the country sometime soon - Labour will make car owners attach devices to their car which the EU satellite network will track with the driver then being billed for the amount of miles travelled.

It will also give the EU the chance to use the information it collects on vehicle movements in the UK to watch and 'monitor' those it does not like or approve of.
