Realistically it doesn't matter who says what. Anyone stupid enough to believe that sticking to a speed limit equates to safety and/or a reduction in collisions is just awaiting the right time to prove Darwin correct.
Realistically it doesn't matter who says what because of the economics of the situation. The days of many SCPs are numbered, no matter who gets interviewed on TV and/ or how well or badly they came over.streaky said:

The smug tosser leads a charmed life...Moonbat's website said:
During seven years of investigative journeys in Indonesia, Brazil and East Africa, he was shot at, beaten up by military police, shipwrecked and stung into a poisoned coma by hornets. He came back to work in Britain after being pronounced clinically dead in Lodwar General Hospital in north-western Kenya, having contracted cerebral malaria.
In Britain, he joined the roads protest movement. He was hospitalised by security guards, who drove a metal spike through his foot, smashing the middle bone.
On the plus side, he can't hold out forever...In Britain, he joined the roads protest movement. He was hospitalised by security guards, who drove a metal spike through his foot, smashing the middle bone.

Mr. Gianassi spoke for the law enforcement agencies.
On the subject of qualifications, there was 2 of the 3 spokespersons there last night that have no qualifications to speak on road safety by speed enforcement matters and just to give you a clue one of the 2 was not Mr. Gianassi.
One of the spokespersons spoke reasonably and one repeated 10-year old soundbytes she doesn't understand in the first place. I don't think you shoudld be trumpeting a victory at all as the anti-camera voice was not well represented in that interview at all.
Nice try, must try harder, better still get someone else.
Almost by definition, someone having "qualifications to speak on road safety by speed enforcement" will be part of the road safety industry, and so you could argue that they would be hardly likely to be an impartial expert, would they?On the subject of qualifications, there was 2 of the 3 spokespersons there last night that have no qualifications to speak on road safety by speed enforcement matters and just to give you a clue one of the 2 was not Mr. Gianassi.

Isn't pitsmansboots steve callaghan? So he's part of the industry anyway.
I believe (certainly judging by his rather strange view point) that he works for an SCP or somesuch, as I don't think many people of the intellect he appears to exhibit actually hold the views he espouses.Jasandjules said:

Only just watched the programme on iPlayer, that smug git needs to learn some respect for his peers (for peers read betters). A debate isn't about interrupting the opposition and not letting them say their piece, it's about reasoned argument.
Did he learn his debate skills from the ex deputy PM Prescott? It was like watching a spoilt child arguing their mother about wanting ice cream! I half expected him to start stamping his feet.
What a c
k!!

If one has no legitimate argument to make to rebut the assertions of your opposition, then one is forced to prevent the opposition from putting forth their arguments.... That is how I read his actions.Jasandjules said:
