Done and done

When I voted polls for cameras were

95% "it's money making sceme"
4% "won't somebody please think of the children"
1% "don't know"

and then the government come out with such lies as "85% of the public support speed cameras"

This probably is not a lie... If you only question scamera supports / Governemnet yes-numpties I am sure you will get this figure. The reason why the figure is not 100% is because the other 15% had their heads so far up their arses they didn't hear the question

Actually didn't the Govt come out with this figure because of the DfT survey which was decsribed by Prof Mervyn Stone as having a "disgraceful positive bias" in favour of speed cameras.
