    I especially liked this part:

    "They will also introduce £60 on-the-spot fines for careless drivers, and
    tighten legislation to ensure higher conviction rates for drug-driving."

    On the spot fines, dished out by what plod? Or are they proposing
    cameras that can detect "funny driving" and automatically tag stick a
    fine to on your car as you drive past?

    I'm also always in favour of "tightening legislation to ensure higher
    conviction rates. Why not do away with the all the unnecessary legal
    crap and just make some Home Orifice bureaucrat judge, jury and
    executioner instead of having to bother going through the motions so it
    at least looks like it's a legal process?

    And no, I'm not in favour of drug-driving, drink-driving etc but I don't
    like the legal system being fiddled with to boost some fucking statistic
    or other. It's a bit too important for that sort of shit.

    It's pretty much par for the course with the present government,
    gestures to try and get some attention form their mainly mouth
    breathing supporters.

    I must admit I didn't like *any* part. It's simply legislation to
    pander to the lobbyists; like a lot done by this government (and
    possibly also past tory governments.)

    I'm convinced I'm safer driving whilst (moderately) drunk than half of
    the fuckwits I watch every fucking day. There ought to be an aptitude
    test rather than an inebriation test.

    And re the legal system being a bit too important; I don't know if I
    agree. I think it's fucked anyway and as long as it doesn't convict me
    or mine I don't give much of a shit.

    So drive *seriously* fast and they won't detect you.

  8. We no longer have 'Parking Attendants', which in turn superceded
    'Traffic Wardens'. We have 'Civil Enforcement Officers', something
    which were introduced earlier this year as a result of the Traffic
    Management Act 2004.

    They have more powers than the outgoing Parking Attendants, and you
    will continue to see an increase in the powers granted to both these,
    PCSOs and those plastic policeman Highways Agency bods who plod along
    our motorways in gay coloured 4x4s, as the screws are turned by the
    Government (1).

    I believe the term some are using is 'policing on the cheap'... I
    personally believe there is a much deeper, far reaching 'powers that
    be' agenda driving it all.

    Oh, and I couldn't give a flying **** whether or not anyone thinks I'm
    paranoid in stating the above - open your eyes and look around you at
    things like the general monitoring of people, be it by way of CCTV,
    ANPR, card transactions, mobile communications etc.

    And then consider that at present, we're not seeing the bulk of the
    powers quietly put in place over the last few years being wielded to
    the letter - 'anti terrorist laws' with the right of detention - the
    measures that have been brought in under that can be used against
    *all* of us, not just some pesky ragheads seen wearing a rucksack.

    You no longer have the right the protest unless the police happen to
    give you permission?

    From what I've read and been told by someone who bothered to stand up
    and be counted about what went on over at the Kingsnorth Power Station
    protest recently, what would appear to be a very heavy handed approach
    was taken by the police, with overkill in terms the manpower allocated
    to 'quelling the uprising' - I believe at one point there were 1500
    protestors on site, and 1500 police???

    I may or may not agree with whatever they (and other groups who choose
    to be vocal in society), were protesting about... but I expect any
    fair and just society to allow whoever, the right to peaceful protest
    within reason, and without the need for the system, so to speak, to
    resort to oppressive methods such as the above in reply to it.

    What about the guy aggrieved about Iraq who set up camp outside the
    Houses of Parliament, and the legislation brought in as a result of
    him not agreeing to go away quietly?

    Whatever, the general answer to all of societies lesser ills (2)
    appears at present to be by way of fining people. And it's going to
    get a lot worse, hence why you're seeing articles in the press like
    the one you've posted above.

    (1) And by 'Government', I mean any party that gets in - some things
    will of course change, but the overall agenda with regards to how the
    system treats the people within it, will carry on in the manner in
    which it has been for some time, now.

    (2) With what constitues an 'ill' growing constantly due to the huge
    raft of extra legislation being constantly drafted in and quietly
    being put into place by the Government. It really won't be long
    before you'll have a methane meter strapped to your arse and you'll be
    fined for any 'harmful emissions' you emit.

  11. That's no good - the acronym that goes with it doesn't spell 'CUNTS'.
