Monbiot is pretty much of an antisocial bastard himself.
Just thought you'd like to know who you've climbed into bed with....
Yeah, we should all just roll over and take it. Big government knows best. If you're not doing anything wrong, you have nothing to fear. And by the way, your papers, please. Merry olde England, and, more recently, America.
Good old george moonbat.
"Libertarians" are to cowrdly to admit the TRUTH. They are really Socialists that lack the intellectual honesty (and/or nuts) to admit it.
"Libertarian" sounds so much more honorable and upright than "Socialist", thought that idea is just a myth.
They do a study to see whether their cash cow has any positive effect on safety. I wonder how that was going to turn out.
I know some Brits, and they were complaining how cameras were installed on open, wide roads with low accident rates and too-low speed limits.
I'm pretty much of a libertarian, and I do consider myself also to be pretty much of an antisocial bastard about half the time. OTOH, what else can you be when damn near everyone else is dying to be a socialist?
Most Libertarians are anarchists, whether they admit it or not..they would love to do away with ALL laws, everywhere.
I'm sure comparable statistics could be manufactured to prove the efficacy of gun bans, too.
Libertarians are right on so many things.
Good for them!
I didn't know there was a Brit left with that much spine!
Yes! There's hope for poor old England after all. May Monbiot get his frilly pink panties in ever-greater twists over more British Libertarian battle tactics.
It seems that Freepers are interested in talking about the politics of a situation than the results in many cases that is important.
The biggest killer in Britain is speeding cars.
I don't know a single family mine included that hasn't had a family member killed by some selfish bstard speeding and sometimes drinking, what is even worse is you find out it wasn't the first time.
I am all for freedom and personal liberty but when we refuse to control ourself or modify are own behavior and it costs other peoples life.
Then can we really whine when the government steps in.
These cameras are being destroyed by individuals who believe they have the right to race down a road.
Before anyone flames me just imagine it is your family in the car that one of these idiots will crash into.
BTW my mate survived Iraq knocked of his push bike by some idiot late for his dinner.
Demented, they sit in small dark rooms in pee-stained underwear, drooling as they mutter about civil liberties.
This coming from a leftist is just too ironic.
Monbiot, is that french for Moonbat.?..
There's no need to insult their mothers, even if they are silly. :)
"Libertarians are Republicans who smoke pot". -- Ann Coulter
I don't want to get into the Libertarian/Socialist argument here, but killing the cameras is a great idea.
Is he talking about the government?
