Let me explain. Duke is a libertarian Tory. They believe in 'small government', and that the state should never interfere in the lives of citizens unless that is absolutely necessary and unavoidable. They tend to regard speed limits as an example of such unwanted intervention.
However, that's relatively harmless stuff. Libertarian conservatism is more widespread in the USA, I think, manifesting itself in the notorious belief in 'the right to bear arms'. And look where that has got them!
Huge leap there Dave. Yes you are right I am a libertarian, not necessarily a Tory, more someone who was frustrated with Labour in government and very suspicious of their re-writing of history and promises.
As for having a problem with speed limits, I certainly do not have a problem there. The point of posting on here was simply being neighborly and saying the speed trap returned last week so keep within the limits.
I don't mind checking speeds but in some cases (not all) they do so in a place where vehicles naturally need to have a bit more momentum to get up a hill and in those cases it's a sting to raise ash rather than for safety.
A good example of a sting is the approach to Parrs wood from the Heatons. There is a bus lane that is under Stockpoprt Council and it's peak hours only so cars can use the lane after 10 a.m. The lane ends before the border to Manchester and re-starts on the Manchester side but with different hours so cars cannot enter the lane at all. The bus route only has 2 buses an hour yet Manchester council have a camera fixed on the point where the times change. It's set to create confusion and getting the money flowing into the Socialist local authority from the capitalist car driver
