In the local shopping centre they've actually got a kiddies car ride that has a fake speed camera that takes a picture of the kid while "driving" the car.

I didn't have a camera with me but I'll pop in again and get a photo. It even had white lines on the floor!

Nice to see the right message being promoted.

I was actually thinking of printing some Safespeed stickers and sticking them on it.

And if it's the same model at the EuroTunnel centre, the car is breaking so hard for the camera that he's got a flatspot.

Safety my arse

This is of course part of the plot to create a generation of numpties who will be easily manipulated by the descendants of Blair & Brown.

We have photo of youngest rogues in on of these toys. Photo has them pulling funniest of faces

As for their Playmobil und Lego Gatsos.. Their play on this is highly entertaining...their little men figures always seem to attack it... und accidents galore happen at the site .. on their play set... but I do not think the sub marinated one would be impressed if he ever saw this

Yes, even my wife felt like smashing it and she's not the most violent of people.

A most sad and pathetic attempt at brainwashing.

Brilliant

The service station ones... I'm tempted to go along and have it take a picture of me, tyre in one hand, petrol can in the other and my most manic face in between the two

All I really meant was an attempt to start the numptification process off early, nothing to do with how many grown ups already qualify!

Whatever the % of population that are currently numpties if the government can increase it by whatever means - they will.
Wasn't it Napoleon who said the purpose of power was to gain more power?

I think there are plenty of people nowadays who know how things are, the trouble is there are not many who do anything about it (unlike a certain P. Smith )

That's right. You can have four goes, and then you have have to wait 4 years until you can have another...
