We’ve already had the bin thing today.
Now this. 13th May:
Within 24 hours of taking on the portfolio he confirmed the new administration would bring in a "fuel price stabiliser" which would see the taxes reduced if the price of oil rises sharply.
However fuel duties would rise if the cost of petrol and diesel fell.
…
Mr Hammond, who drives a Jaguar, sought to underline the new Government’s motorist-friendly credentials confirming a manifesto pledge that there would be no Whitehall cash for new fixed speed cameras.
All good – fuel duty stabiliser and death to speed cameras, right? Wrong.
Today:
Conservative plans to cut fuel duty when oil prices are high have been abandoned, leading to fears that motorists will be targeted.
Meanwhile:
TFI Drinkipoos time.

I think that the speed camera van is just another way of squeezing the motorist’s wallet and making them hate the idea of going out for a drive ust in case there is a camoflauged policeman hiding in the bushes.

That’s a Talivan with a vengeance. Fortunately for me the RCMP don’t have such a beast this side of the Rockies.
I think I need to lie down in a dark room………ffs
Clearly the new bunch lie like the old bunch:
In “no Whitehall cash for new fixed speed cameras” the keywords are NEW and FIXED; so they’ll keep any OLD cameras they want to, and they’ll introduce any NON-FIXED mobile cameras they want to, and make up the reasons as they go along, just like before.
I thought one of the ‘arguments’ for speed cameras were that they were about safety, you know – that simplistic soundbite that ‘speed kills’; so the increase of NON-FIXED cameras means that accident blackspots just happen to move around the country to where the cameras can raise the most revenue.
