I noticed last week that the Government, Local Government and the Speed Camera Partnerships are looking to install anvanced speed cameras in networks so they can track YOU and your average speed over miles, the possibilities are endless!
Apparantly these will be trialed initially in 20/30 mile zones and will do away with speed bumps, and in the current climate its understandable because speed bumps don’t raise money, cameras are also going to be painted a different colour so they blend in with their surroundings and become difficult to see.
I find this very sad because the excuse the authorities use is safety and the mantra speed kills but speed doesn’t kill, driving too fast kills and that could be 10mph, also a large majority of cameras now are placed to trap drivers with many giving no indication of the speed limit and this will multiply over the years.
The only conclution to draw is that the Police Force, who used to police with the consent of the British people but now police inspite of the British people, have joined the ranks of the Inland Revenue and become very devious tax inspectors, criminals go free!
What this Government has achieved is quite amazing, the surveylance under which we live would have been a source of pride to the old Eastern and Central European Communist dictatorships and the old Labour Party could only dream of what Tony Blair has achieved in distroying our Democracy, Freedoms, History and the sheer contempt he has shown for the Mother of Parliaments.
