Regarding the police's current trend of going for the easy option of revenue raising through the put-upon motorist who dares to commit the heinious crime of maybe going a little over the UK speed limit etc. I have been reliably informed that the "variable speed limit" on the M25 is now active and triggers at 80MPH when there is no overhead advisory limit displayed. This is between junctions 10 and 15. They notoriously leave advisory signs active when the traffic is clear, lulling motorists into a false sense of security and therefore using their common sense to drive according to the conditions. Beware!! They are prosecuting. Considering that they have to give 10% leeway for speedo fluctuation they are being very generous to give 3MPH at 80MPH, Blatant or what!! Just another point for anyone who may be interested.

The government actually blame the drinks industry for the young peoples alcohol binges in just the same way that they blame organised crime for the increase in drug addiction in inner city areas. Duh!! For the vast majority of heroin addicts it is a problem caused by the lack of education and future prospects created by the governments inability to provide any form of hope for them. It's called escapism. Oldest story in the world. Bin around for fucking years and will only get worse until the authorities recognise the root of the problem. No chance, no hope, no money. Bravo!!
