Town that scrapped 'motorist tax' speed cameras sees no increase in accidents

This story in the Daily Mail is almost too good to be true.

Proof, if ever any were needed, that what we at Motorists Against Detection  have been saying for years - SPEED CAMERAS DO NOT WORK THEY ARE THERE TO RAISE CASH.

Get the message?

Good. Now let's remove them where they aren't needed and be honest about why they are there in the first place.

The first town in Britain to scrap fixed speed cameras has seen no increase in accidents, it was revealed yesterday.

But the number of motorists prosecuted for speeding there dropped by more than 40 per cent.

Swindon switched off its cameras over claims they were a ' blatant tax on the motorist' which did nothing to improve safety.

Police secretly photographing 14million motorists a day and storing images for two years

The police state we call the UK really is a sad place to live.

The Daily Mail has an interesting story - and I'm pleased to see that Liberty say this is an illegal database.

No lawmaker has been involved with the police compiling this horrendous database.

Will they stop sending our images to the computer? Under Nu Liebore? What do you think?

Police are secretly photographing up to 14million motorists a day and keeping their details for years, it has emerged. Images of drivers and their front seat passengers are being captured by a network of cameras and held on a database without their knowledge, a police document has revealed.

Now police chiefs are facing a legal challenge from privacy campaigners, who say that automatic number plate recognition cameras are being used to spy on innocent road users.

Police and the Highways Agency have previously claimed that ANPR cameras on the roads do not transmit images of drivers.

Brown the dictator and his mad grip on power

I just can't bring myself to say what I really think about the current political situation. (I mean in the UK not in Iran, though you;d be forgiven that at least the Iranians have had something akin to free and fair elections).
Most of what we have now stems from the Government's attempts to treat motorists like shabby third class citizens - and we let them get away with it.
That's given them the idea that the British people will not stand up for their rights.
Instead we are having them trample over rights we have held for a thousand years.
All underpinned by an unelected Prime Minister who has staffed his cabinet with unelected inisters.
It's a disgrace.
In the Euro elections I thought it was lucky that this shower achieved an abysmal 15% - now it turns out that in some areas Zanu Labour polled an appalling 8%.
And now we have a whitewash on the Iraqi war - a complete cover-up by these twisted lying deceitful no good warmongers.
We want an election and we want it NOW!
Read a thoughtful piece in the Daily Mail about what is going on.
