Cheers, helen s

Interesting that the majority of contributors do not favour the reduction of penalties.

This reinforces my impression that this government tends to listen to vociferous minorities rather
than the population as a whole.

It has to listen to vociferous minorities - the majority are so fed up with politicians that they
just don't care any more.

Seems the lady's not for turning...

It was Blair/Blunkett who came out with that phrase, wasn't it? ;-)

You thnk a single BBC message board reflects the population as a whole?

No, that's not what I said.

I think the linked page illustrates the problem with the speeding debate (and wider politics) in
this country - most of the opinions expressed are irrational extreme views - and the sensible
concerns and comments from both sides are simply drowned out.

Sigh.
