Yodameister 10 #26 Posted November 19, 2004 Well, if there weren't cameras there would be real policeman cathing speeding drivers rather than responding to street crime, so it would probably make the response time longer. If you are not prepared to enter into a conversation about an issue then don't start a thread. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Wavey 10 #28 Posted November 19, 2004 I've entered into a conversation.. You implied that I thought the fact that worse offences were being committed should allow me to break the law. I understand and respect your right to have a difference of opinion. You accused me of something that wasn't the case. I'll say it again. I broke the rules and paid as instructed. Not happily I'll admit, but hey, thats me and money. My opinion is that the police time isn't equally spent. Speeding is bad and they clamp down on it, quite rightly. More police out and about on the beat would see chavs on bikes, ganging up for scraps etc Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Wavey 10 #29 Posted November 19, 2004 Emma As it's not me involved I can't tell you any more than I've said here. I was ranting mad this morning and maybe saying stuff I shouldn't. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

sheffexpat 10 #36 Posted November 19, 2004 Thechap asked,"What is this country coming to ?" Well, whatever it is ,it's been coming to it for a long time now----partly under the Tories but mainly under the Labour government.I think the "great British public "are largely to blame for letting successive governments walk all over them.There's a Germanic streak at work.Too many people in the U.K. nowadays love having someone to tell them what to do and ,in turn, love telling someone else what to do. Any dictatorship can find "good" reasons for bringing in repressive,interfering laws.Each individual new law does have its positive side.....but ....the cumulative effect is dictatorship and then further repression. The public seem too thick to realise that it's "o.k. " to give a fairly moderate government full powers but what happens if,later on, an extreme Right-wing or Left--wing government gets in. What seems like a Nanny state now will seem paradise compared to what could happen. So, all you ,sheep who want more and more red--tape,rules and regulations, more controls,no smoking,no drinking, no this,no that----think about the future andthe 4a.m. knock on the door !
