Demise of the Speed Camera?

Takes the milking of the motorist to a new level

Whatever happened to the Secretary of State’s declaration that, “War on the Motorist is over,” as Council’s across the UK, line up to bring in heinous parking charges around the clock. Their excuse? That they need to plug the gap caused by government spending cuts?

  Have these clapped out administrations no clue of the difficulties this causes to local businesses and recovery on the High Streets of Britain, as they raid the pockets of anybody daft enough to fall for these failed politician’s ability, to recognise that we’re all in it together and they need to balance their books too.

  How about the councillors who turn up once in a blue moon to a full council meeting, in order to qualify for collection of their pin money allowances. The remit for their so-called inconvenience, endured in serving the electorate. The people who thought they had put them there, to reflect their views in organising the way their towns, cities and villages are organised.

 No longer is it possible to see that this happens in the best interests of the public at large. More likely it’s in some self-serving capacity, to make a stress free life for their immediate families out of the perks it brings to their table. Based on the back of platitudes expressed in their glossy election day literature, which bears no reality to real purpose.

  It seems like a call-back procedure is about the only way to ensure these elected members live up to their pledges and promises. So people can clearly see whether they are getting what it said on the tin and if not, can have available a way to dump the chumps. 

       

  To keep relying on this mantra that spending cuts are forced on them by Central Government is a misnomer of real consequence. For the amount government is spend ing is set to rise year on year to the end of this Parliament. What we are seeing is a Redistribution of the Deficit, to promote the growth that will enable us to balance the books and keep the International Shylocks at bay, as they queue up for their Juice.

Watch this space, I’ll be back!

Tom.

(For the uninitiated the Shylocks are the Money Market Manipulators and the Juice is their interest charges).
