    Not enough though.

    It is being made out to be some sort of anti-democratic thing that the police don't want to
    cooperate. Its just a 21st century version of Police officers not to be drawn into arguments with
    loons on soap boxes in hyde park corner.

    They didn't give the obvious answer as to why he was described as "fringe".

    Available no the web, bbc.co.ukpm, click "forward" to about minute 20.

    Notable that even the Monster Raving Tory Party transport spokesman trotted out to defend Sm*th's
    right to lambast Chief Constables for enforcing the law couldn't bring himself to support Sm*th's
    loony claims.

    If anyone wants to listen to the PM piece it's available on the Radio 4 website. Skip through to
    22 minutes.

    Unfortunately this piece will have done P**l Sm*th more good than harm. The effect of the police
    letter is to make him look like an innocent campaigner put upon by the politically motivated police.
    He'll get all sorts of support from well-meaning civil rights people that will only fuel the flames
    of his nonsensical campaign.

    I don't agree he was being "panned."

    You might not like what he says, but he should have the right to say
    it. The worry is that the action against him is being taken because he does not agree with
    government policy.

    Regards! Stephen

    It was Tuesday's PM. Scroll forward to about 20mins. You'd better do it soon because I think they
    replace the online edition daily.

    They didn't make quite as much of his crankyness as they could, but I liked the way how his claim
    that 1/3 of road deaths are caused by speed cameras was mentioned more than once. Mentioned too was
    "his method of debate".

    Perhaps they should have asked him whether he would advocate people going up to 150 mph on A roads.
    (for the pedantic, on one particular A road in the right conditions). His views on disabled parking
    are a laugh too.

    Of course. It has the added advantage of being entertaining.

    No action is being taken against him. One police bod has written a letter to other bods suggesting
    that they don't waste too much time in detailed arguments with Mr Smith.

    Yes, his website has already been mentioned in the Archers newsgroup!

    I've saved it as mp3 and filed it under d:\mp3\humour

    I'll make it available if you don't have any luck on the BBC site.
