Shropshire's first speed camera that was installed with much blowing of trumpets six weeks ago was last night decapitated in a thirty seconds shower of sparks

The Shropshire Star is not yet as enlightened as one or two of the national newspapers and naturally referred to it as an act of sheer vandalism claiming that speed cameras are 100 per cent effective

Aaaaaaah bliss..... to the "safety" camera partnership.

Oh dear, what a waste of tax payers money.

Bet the twerps don't learn from this, they'll put another one up next month for culling again. Still if they will insist on dictating over the population rather than representing them, there will always be those with the strength of character and strong moral fibre that will do the honours......

Funny that really about country types.. rip down speed cameras, shoot pikeys, hunt ickle furry foxes and generally don't give a fk.

No wonder the government hate them.. they're not 'with the programme' like the urbanites.

Cut the camera down, dump it on the pikey site, phone the cops.

Two problems solved for the price of one

Hail the People's Republic of Shropcestershire!

Perhaps they could start an anti-camera Jihad and infiltrate the less liberated parts of the country with splinter groups?

Anyone know ... sorry ... can anyone make an intelligent estimate of how long it would take to fell a Gatso with an angle grinder? Surely it's going to be a good few minutes work?
