If you're a genuinely decent, nice person who (however misguidedly)
really does believe that cameras save lives, and you thus support them for that reason, then *surely* you must have misgivings about some of the more prominent camera advocates on the Internet. Do you really think that Spindrift is a good ambassador for your cause? Do you really think that Chapman is? Presumably you would like to think that those who speak on your behalf are decent, and support cameras wholly because they think they save lives, like you. Presumably you would be against those who hate motorists, and/or gain personally from cameras, muscling in on your cause and pretending that they care about saving lives, when really they don't at all and they're just out for themselves. Again, you surely don't believe that those sorts of people (who *undoubtedly* exist) are the best mouthpieces for your campaign. If you support cameras, but you think Spindrift and/or others who speak out in favour of cameras are doing harm to your cause, please have the guts to say so. I'm sure that if there are any decent-minded camera supporters left on the Internet, some of them must feel that way. People have seen Spindrift's posts, they've seen Chapman's posts, and it is amply evident that they are extremely unpleasant and anything but altruistic. I can't believe that (assuming any exist) every, or indeed any, decent-minded camera supporter is happy with Spindrift's conduct. He has more than earned his bad reputation, and camera supporters who really think that cameras save lives would be doing themselves a huge favour by disowning him and his ilk. |

It could be an atttempt to get a trollbot to pass a Turing test, but I suspect that would fail the "intelligent" part of the definition. No, probably a chav. Guy -- May contain traces of irony.

Zog, Predictable and OTT in my view. Otherwise I can't imagine why he spends his evenings so, surely there's better ways to enjoy oneself? Truth is (for me), I realy enjoy cycling, I've always known we're vulnerable and now (after a recent BAD event) I'm really "twitchy" about drivers crossing my path & etc., injuring me again. As a motorist also - like so many on here I'm not "anti-motorist", but I'm certainly against the "top gear" type of speed adulating / wet your trousers at shiny cars/ XJZ660/ mindless car idolatry that we all can observe. Bad / inconsiderate / stupid / ignorant drivers poil my perfectly legitamate lawful pursuit. Many / most drivers really are OK. Little I can personally do about any of this. It may be that there are simply too many cars on our roads. I'll perhaps write more tomorrow - it's late now, goodnight all. John |

But that, of course, is only _my_ imagination. I'm sure others can do better... |

It's clear that the "bright flash" in the tunnel when Diana was killed was caused by a portable speed camera. I can now reveal that this operation was carried out by the MAMA (Murder All Motorists Army) - French division (L'armee de mise a mort tous les personnes qui conduire les voitures, surtout les conduirers des "tracteurs de Chelsea"). The perpetrators escaped on their bicycles and, due to pressure from the French police, transferred their attentions to the UK. Posing as concerned road-safety campaigners, they have recognised that putting a speed camera up beside a road automatically means that more motorists will die. This audacious campaign, carried out under the noses of the authorities, has finally been identified for what it is. Zut alors! Peter. (Sorry if something similar is posted twice; a glitch when I pressed "send") |
