As in Comrade Cameron I suppose? Give it rest tb
!!! Actually, looking at Camoron and Bliar reminds me of the end of "Animal Farm" where the animals look from pig to man and man to pig and can't tell them apart.

Yes indeed, they would not want to lose power.
As I said before 1p on a litre of fuel would net them around £500million a year , not the £42million that cameras have in three years.
The important point about cameras and money is not just the amount of money they raise, but the amount that the government does NOT then have to spend. The reduction in traffic police throughout the country will have “saved” many millions in tax. Likewise, by NOT spending on genuine road safety measures such as road improvements, which often cost a reasonable amount of money, the government can “be seen” to be doing something yet not only spend less than doing nothing, but actually generate a small income. Additionally they can slightly reduce the unemployment statistics by having “self funded” camera partnerships employ people in “non-jobs”.
What other scheme offers any government the ability to reduce unemployment, reduce police spend, improve crime prosecution statistics and claim that they are attempting to tackle major safety concerns, while actually netting a small income? All they have to do is convince the voting public that there is some safety improvement and political utopia is achieved. Fancy misrepresenting some statistics anyone?
Well said. I think I posted much the same in a thread a week or so ago
Great minds think alike eh
Now Turbobloke, streamline and support with example's what Black-K1 has posted (cos your good at it clearly
), and we'll have a much more realistic figure of how much the camera's actually gross the government every year! A figure probably not yet put into context, but I bet it's worryingly high! Dave

you wheel that number out every time and it does your argument no credit. as you and we know full well that is pure profit. the real REVENUE is many multiples of that which goes to keep the scamera parasites off the dole numbers and tony's mates IT companies in business.
