From: Brimstone on 8 Aug 2010 17:38 "I'll do as I like and stuff everyone else" seems to be the gist of this interview. I think she makes some valid points. <http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/crime/7933708/Julie-Spence-interview-Why-thin-blue-line-borders-on-anorexic.html> "Mrs Spence has been critical of Theresa May, the Home Secretary, for taking an over-simplistic view of policing and being too quick to scrap "all things Labour". She supported the now defunct policing pledge - a 10-point promise guaranteeing issues such as response times - as long as it was not used as another target to measure police against. "

And once they hippies manage to get 20 enforced everywhere they'll start a campaign for it to be 15, then 10 eventually they'll want to make all local roads car free and you'll have to park your car in large municple car parks near A roads and walk the rest of the way.
