In a letter sent to local Northampton paper, a disgruntled motorist, sets out to explain his actions, in setting one of our beloved and respected (sic) scameras, on fire. The tone of the letter, reminded me of the portrayal of a man on the edge in the film starring Michael Douglas called Falling down, in which a normally placid individual, snaps and runs amok through suburbia, and why not?

was an interesting film that... can see it happening for quite a few things, including more and more driver taxes, scrotes disrespecting other peoples properties/cars, people taking the piss with scrounging money off the government/tax payer... anyone wanna add anything to this list?

Sorry the original paper went in the bin, but in this evenings Chronicle & Echo, under comments the following;
A mototrist has claimed responsibility for setting fire to a camera in Northamptonshire. His action, he says, is born out of frustration at the constant persecution of people in the county.Many no doubt especially those out of pocket after being snapped by cameras will sympathise with this view, although not neccesarily with the way he responded to that frustration, followedbylotsofliberalpipesmokingbleedinheartedcodswallop

I don't know if you know the A361 between Daventry and Banbury, but there is a Truvelo camera in one of the villages and this constanly gets vandalised. Last time somebody covered the front of the camera with paint. Shame it keeps getting fixed!!
Seems like the masses are revolting!!
