Green Party put Met police under pressure to slow down

[711]

FFS, I don't know how much more of this lentilista bull I can put up with.

With regard to Met police traffic accidents:

Figures obtained by the London Assembly Green Party showed that police lost about 26,500 work days as a result.

[I]Green Party member Jenny Jones said: "This is a huge waste of money. There are no excuses for driving too fast."

However Green Party member Jenny Jones said: "If you lose a robber because you refuse to drive too fast, but you also do not kill or injure somebody in the process, then I think that is a worthwhile trade." [/I]

How condecending is this woman?? FFS! What does she think the Police are doing presently? "Oh, I'll just run over that old lady / take a stupid risk to catch that street robber?" AAArrrrrghghghghghgh!!!!

I wonder if this for brains, property is theft, neurotic, wk stain got elected on the basis that she'd like to see the Police stick to the limit whilst the crims make off at speed?

Why do people have this urge to spout off about things of which they know nothing?

good god man, that's the divine right of all PHers!

[tigger1]

Presumably the emergency services have added her name to the database "do not respond to in a hurry"?

Does she apply the same logic to the fire brigade?

Has she considered all the continuous assesments of risk that police officers (I'm told) have to do as they attend / get to a scene of crime?

Bloody oxygen stealer.

Should we burgle her house and see how she feels then?

I hope shes taken into consideration the energy used to produce that piece of jewellery, which after all is an unnecessary extravangence that serves no purpose. I wonder also how much energy the hairdresser uses to do her hair, and what environmental impact the soaps and shampoos have.

ing hypocrites.

Property is theft, I am not sure this would bother her. We would be better off doing a smash and grab on her favourite lentil shop

On the other hand...

she has:

conserved energy by making her own clothes,
reduced the lemon stockpile with regular consumption,
and used straw to insulate her head.

Don't think that's fair....FFS look at it

If any energy was used there, it was natural (doing a wind turbine out of resources perhaps)

Apart from being one of the stupidest things I've heard for a while (how would she feel if she was being violently mugged and the police drove to her aid carefully at 27mph) even from the lentilistas, where does it say all these police accidents were caused by driving too fast?

In an anarchy, there are no police. We see increased reponse times as an important step towards that.

[Jasandjules]

Just make sure her name and address is on the list of those for whom, in the event of an emergency, the emergency services ensure compliance with all speed limits. Then set fire to her house ;-0.

So, if somebody were to relieve her of her purse, then so long as nobody got hurt, it would also be a reasonable trade-off, no?

[Apache]

That has to be one of the stupidest brainfarts I've ever heard. BTW has she just escaped from the circus?
