Brunstrom in U-turn shocka!

Scanning The Sun in the pub today, an article about Herr Brunstrom,
Chief Cuntstable of North Wales and head honcho at ACPO's Traffic
Section, he who advocates speed cameras at every turn and stopping and
harassing motorcyclists has had a moment of divine insight.

Brunstrom has called for a stop to the proliferation of speed cameras.
Faced with increasing road death figures despite spiralling numbers of
prosecutions for speeding, he has had to admit that reducing speed is
not the answer. He is now calling for the Gummint to halt the
proposed expansion of the speed camera network by a further 1200
cameras over the next two years, claiming that the camera programme is
"alienating motorists".

Granted, the bloke is a) a dyed-in-the-wool **** - and b) mad as a
fucking hatter, not to mention c) obsessed with speeding motorists -
oh, and d) hates bikers...

- but he does seem to have seen the fucking light.

Hallelujah.

Until the **** changes his mind again, of course.

 

Even funnier

It's easy to roll this stuff out when it has no effect on you. My guess
is there's something deeper going on if he's not in licence jeopardy
territory himself[1]

Heh. Why can't people admit to reading The Sun?

There seems to be a trend developing.

Is ACPO on the Tory payroll? Free jolly to the Dunkin' Donuts convention
in California perhaps?

Michael Howard's slavering attack on Blair is something to really look
forward to tomorrow.

Political correctness gone mad.

I don't really see what all the fuss is about. Gay world raves over the
Queer as Folk drama where queer is routinely used in a non-pejorative way.
Why should straight people be excluded from using it?

As with all language, individual words signify nothing without context. If
he had used the word in a homophobic way then he would have probably been
forced to resign. The article does not say exactly what happened but
implies that he substituted queer for homosexual. Big fucking deal.

 

I think he still hates speeders.

That said, I get the impression the one to watch out for is the new Highways
Agency bloke.

today Ive seen two quotes from him - one suggesting cars be banned from
making short journies on motorways to give lorries priority and the second
that speed cameras are bad (yay!) but that all vehicles should be fitted
with speed limiters (boo) ...

 

Well exactly, its a fine term, if I was homosexual I'd likely lamp you for
referring to me as gay. Vera Lynn was gay FFS. Queer, Queer as ****, now
that's respectable ;o)
My point was he is such a stupid **** he fell for it. 5 minutes on google
would have demonstrated he was being set up. I hope it destroys his career
though!

 

To quote Homer J Simpson on the use of the "queer" by homosexuals ... "I
resent you people using that word. That's our word for making fun of you!
We need it!!"

I tend not to use gay anymore. Little Britain is funny but it has instilled
a grotesque caricature in my mind when hearing the word gay.

In academic stuff I would use the acronym LGBT, same sex relationship or
other gender neutral language where possible.

In the pub I refer to myself as a poof more often than any other word.
However, I also use it as a term of derision, like the way that it is used
on UKRM. Queer old world.

 

Could you do a formal complaint to the appropriate Quango that, by dissing
Queer, the Gay Police Hocifer Assoc. has offended your Queerness?

 

'Hog emerged from their own little world to say

QUANGOs are toast in Wales.

Anyway, throwing rocks at the Establishment just as I submit a begging
letter [1] for taxpayers' money wouldn't be good form.

Speed limiters are a sure way back to Opposition, IWHT. Motorways
should be reorganised; lorries and cars towing caravans in lane 1, speed
limit 50mph; cars and vans in lane 2, speed limit 70mph and bikes in
lane 3, speed limit irrelevant.

 

you can't see yourself in a blue latex sailor suit, then?

 

I had a half share in a block of flats in Queer Strasser in
Neubruchhausen near Bremen once.

It meant a 'crossing over' or 'one side to the other' street.

That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

I used to have a a blue sailor suit, aged 3ish. Not latex though.
Unfortunatley, my mum still has the photo to prove it. She is very proud of
it as it is one of the first colour photos she took. All together
now....awh.

 

Do all UKRM Queer's have to ride big BMW traillies?

Only those that can't use apostrophes.

No!

 

why do you think I got rid of mine?

Almost. Cane's on the verge of ordering a 1200GS
