BBC presenter Jeremy Vine was stopping for going three times the speed limit. . .

At 16mph.

On a bicycle.

In a park.

Fuck me. Meanwhile we have police commissioners telling us council tax needs to be hiked 25pc in order to properly fund the police force.

Police states exist to enforce nanny states.

In proper police states at least you can respect the fascist brutes doing the enforcing. Something about a man smashing my head in for inciting insurrection strikes me as a more respectable way of using one's time, when compared with stopping people for speeding on a bicycle in a park.

Why do you always have some old person as your avatar? Should I know who these people are?
The last one was Ben Bernanke. This one is Alan Greenspan.

Why would you want them as your avatar?
Maybe I disagree with the assessment that they're stupid fucks?

That's ridiculous. I'd much rather live in a nanny state than a fucking fascism.

I didn't say otherwise.

I'm saying nanny states are just fucking pathetic.

Yeah, neither is a good option. But one is the lesser of two evils.

Why don't you just move to America? It's not perfect, but it's way better than England.

Funny you should say that, but I've actually thought about it. I'm studying in America for a year during my undergraduates degree, too, which should prove interesting.

Not sure how it aligns with my long-term interests, however.

Daft is still on the MLP Zetaboards.
Well, you got me there.

There is nothing either good or bad but thinking makes it so.
Love life; but take nothing too seriously.
Maybe it's just me, but I think it's sort of reasonable to stop a person going 3 times the speed limit on anything. If people were around I can see where they're coming from. If not, then it probably could have been brushed off.
