Oh censored. frown

I never met Paul but I supported his work as far as I could, and the world is a poorer place without him.

On a selfish note, I'm gutted that we have now lost the man who was single handedly leading the only effective campaign against the scameras. I don't see anybody poised to take over the fight. The ABD are the only likely candidates but tbh strike me as relatively ineffective.
Duly Seconded.

RIP Paul & many thanks for all your efforts to date, much appreciated by me (& all drivers)

It's a tragedy I agree. However we need to give all our support to his partner Claire if she is to carry on his work.

Trying to battle against virtually the entire world single handed can't have helped. I know a little of what it's like trying to reason with a brick wall, but how he kept going I don't know. I hope someone can take over the reins.

I very sad today.

I worked as closely as I could (and had time for) with Paul over the last couple of years or so and greatly admired his commitment to real road safety.
I have just emailed you.

Worked with him closely whilst helping to organise the M4 speed camera protests a few years ago.
A more dedicated man you couldn't hope to meet.

May his legacy live on.

Tragic news. A much respected voice appreciated by sensible people able and willing to see through government propaganda.
Rest in Peace.
