Haven't you heard? You're not allowed to come on here and post statistics that the native trolls find unpalatable, however true they might be. If you do, you're a "troll".

What particularly irritates them is mentioning that road deaths stopped falling, as they had been for decades, when speed cameras came in. At least two of the trolls here launched vicious, sustained, psychopathic hate campaigns against someone who had the temerity to say that in the national media. They're really not keen on the truth about cameras not saving lives being propagated, are they? It's almost as if they're desperate for cameras to stay for some reason, and they couldn't give two hoots about whether they were saving lives or not. Now why would they be so desperate to keep cameras? Hey, maybe they're anti-motorist. Just a hunch. No other explanation remotely stacks up, after all. There's no other possible reason why they would be SO passionately offensive towards those who simply point out, correctly, that cameras aren't working.

Oops. More unpalatable true facts. Please don't threaten to blow up my place of work, Spindrift.
