In the scope of his commissioner remit, I would have thought speed cameras should be somewhere toward the bottom of his priority list.
As an aside, you have to question the legitimacy of both the appointment and the office when 90% of the electorate choose not to vote. These PPCs may or may not be effective (my own suspicion is that they are little more than a safe wheely bin for failed politicians), but the public certainly isn't convinced.

I think it relates to an ideological mindset.
He also sent an Email with the wrong election date on it and then had to send another one apologising with the correct election date on.
I think his deputy is getting a raw deal. He was the central party backed candidate for the role. So he's had his time as a Labour MP and Transport Minister and now he's occupying this post?

It's incredible that you can earn 100k and not even have the common sense to see through the speed camera business propaganda, particularly if the figures show clearly that fewer people have died since switching them off.
What a moron.
He's grandstanding. He looked around for something to get his name in the papers (and mentioned on forums) and chose an easy route, one which would not address the problems of his police area so that there was no way it could be shown his idea was rubbish.What a moron.
So not so moronic, just a politician.
