If they stopped people speeding then they would have to find another means of ripping people off. Maybe they could catch some of these twats with a mobile phone stuck to their face whilst driving with one hand, I'm sure that would raise a few quid.

I have a cunning plan.
If everybody who used the roads conspired to stop speeding for a year, the camera partnerships would not raise any money and become a drain on the government coffers, which in turn would lead to them being closed down (just like sections of the NHS). Then we could all start using the roads properly again i.e. selecting speed to suit road conditions, and the police force would have to re-introduce traffic police who could then apprehend real law breakers like, people using inappropriate speed for the conditions, people using mobile phones while driving, people driving un-roadworthy cars, people driving without a license, tax, insurance, brains, etc
in the meantime, I'm off to do the Daily mail crossword

I think it would be a very unweildy beast to implement as not every police officer is in front line policing and able to generate arrests.
I got the impression that Andrew was on a
"pay per arrest" scheme, which was so good that he had bought one new bike and was looking for another
I'm sure he'll put me right (or arrest me) if I am wrong

The way I see it is I'm the one that's going into a camp I'm the Jew of today.
My crimes I have a National insurance number and a fixed abode a car licence I'm Hetrosexual and Married
I'm the target a cash cow for the government it's also my fault because ive got a nice car that nice people from eastern europe want to break into because their housing benefit doesnt buy them a BMW
I'm a target because Ive got to pay my council tax and soon there going to chip my bin (not pimp it) so they can charge even more money Hey if I was a gipo I could dump my rubbish anywhere not pay any tax have free health care because I dont pay any NI I could have free heating because I nick all of my gas bottles from the old British railway depots and then dump the emptys down a country lane. I dont see much persecution going on there funny how there all coming over here after the Irish changed there trespass laws.
Hey there even using my income tax to put adverts on the Tv to tell me its my fault that Ive just been mugged for my phone because I dared to use it in a public place next there put an advert on telling me that I should,nt lock my doors as they might hurt themselves breaking in, But Sir they wouldnt break in if you didnt work for such nice things would they sir.
Equality means just that not twisted to those who just want to milk the system and dare I mention the Human rights bill the one that does'nt apply to people with my qualifications above.

Bugger me you guys... this is getting heavy.
Do what Madman and I have done..... retire early to France or in my case, Spain. the winter blues are getting to you.
AND NO... I didnt have a lot of money... I just made it happen. The cost of living is a third (in Spain) and the roads are soooo quiet.
