Wrecked Gatsos in the Express today
Discussion
p.16 if anyone wants to look...but my pleasure at seeing those pics turned to incredulity when I read the quote from Susan Beck of the 'Safety Camera Partnership': "Speed cameras are only placed where there is a history of speed-related accidents, where a minimum of four people have died."
I'd like to see if she would repeat that in court, under oath.

Presume it's the same story as

Alex, email the woman and express your views,

however, if your response is anything like mine was you'll soon realise the futility in any form of debate with these brainwashed/lying morons, good luck

Joust - sorry can't scan, but its not the same story, its actually about cameras up and down the country being vandalised with a series of 6 pics of butchered Gatsos.
Apache - cheers for the suggestion, but I might try banging my head against a brick wall instead, as I'd probably have more joy!
On the other hand, anything which wastes their time might be worth doing...

Hee hee they have a questionire we can bugger up
go to feedback and pretent you live in the area
Been there and filled it in.
Omitting your postcode won't matter, they say it's optional.
Come on, you lot, get participating in this valuable bit of research. For once, they're not seeking out the bed-bound for the survey.
Don't get carried away, the last question is for red light cameras. I assume we all agree these are A Good Thing?
I also suggest we don't abuse it by each putting in multiple responses. I guess they would be disregarded.

Hit by a "bomb" this time. Which seems a bit over the top don't you think - I'm developing some sympathy for people who want to destroy them but if they're going to try and take themselves and others out then I'm going to lose sympathy again.

Thats a curious response Tj. I dont think that whoever did that was trying to take out anyone, the time it was set off should at least indicate that.
Also, where was this one situated? If its one of these cams thats out in the sticks, then plainly they were simply going after the cam.
No body could support deliberate targetting of the maintenance personnel, or passers by.
The cops are using more and more sneaky and underhanded methods to make a dollar, so i support the destruction of these edifices of state control.
I dont support harming people, maybe they should have just burnt it.
Unless theyre making a statement of some kind?

Bomb eh. How convenient.
Well, having sanctified these underhanded devices by attaching the sacred taboo words ' safety' and 'think of the children' all thats left is 'terrorism'.
If it really was a bomb why was there no dramatic picture instead of an urban scene.
I frankly don't believe anything these spin doctors come up with anymore

Lovely jubbly, that was a Truvelo one too! Sadly it means that now I have no reason to slow down on the way to the inlaws.

Please take my response as being anti-bomb, not anti-anti-speed camera at all - do all these anti's cancel each other out
Interesting point I hadn't thought of from Richard though - why wasn't there a picture of the remains of a camera! OMG I must be starting to believe some of the stuff I read.
I have to say, looking at the 'Safety' Camera Partnership site, one of the things they have come out with absolutely beggars belief; get this:
"Road crashes are one of the main causes of the hospital waiting list problem."
So the NHS waiting lists will be solved by more speed cameras...its so obvious, I'm amazed noone had thought of it sooner!

According to an Aussie colleague in my office, back home, one of the things used to justify the cameras goes something along the lines of:
* speeding causes accidents
* accidents leave people in hospital
* hospital care is expensive
* so we'll raise the money for your health care by using cameras
Sounds a bit similar to Alex's comment really.
Are you getting the message yet you fcukers?!!!
