We are proud of our freedom in this country. We have gone to war to protect it. But now Brown’s Britain is ending that!
They put speed cameras on all the roads, not to improve safety, but raise money! UK had the safest roads in the world, until drivers were too busy watching their speedos, to watch the road. So speed cameras can kill and you are paying for it.
Now they are turning Lollypop crossing patrols into mobile CCD devices. Is this to prosecute more drivers to raise more revenue for the local council or for safety reasons? These cameras are being tested in a pilot scheme with two cameras being mounted either side of the ‘lollipop’ Why? Because the government is watching you! George Orwell wrote the book ‘1984’in 1948 - has it all come true? I think it has. He was just 60 years out!
Wherever you go, whatever you do, the government is filming you. And will be finding new ways to fine you.
There will be huge offices full of people watching you and you will paying for it.
This is not the England my family was proud of and fought and died for!
What is the problem in Salford ?
These are just some of my thoughts.
Road Safety
In 2005 84 people were killed or seriously injured on Salford 's roads and of these 13 were children. In the four years between 2002-2005 statistics show that 354 people have been killed or seriously injured (KSI). In general terms: 80% were adults, 20% were children, 72% were male, 28% were female, 38% were pedestrians, 8% were cyclists, 17% were motorcyclists and 34% were motor vehicle occupants.
National targets set in 2000 require that road casualties are reduced to the following levels by 2010.
Targets and figures were gathered by Salford City Council

OFGS.. the cameras on school crossing patrols are to deter the idiots who ignore them, or at least catch them after the event. There are many documented deaths and injuries because of people ignoring the Stop signs. They have the same status in law as a red trafic light. Are you implying that the safety of our children is of less importance than catching those that put them in danger?
In any case, don't worry that you're being watched all the time. If the cameras around Ordsall district centre are anything to go by, nobody watches them unless you phone the control centre to tell them about an incident they should have been looking at already.
