OK, I'll copy the text.
------ The time has come to stand and be counted. Enough is enough!
I?m guessing that there are many people who are getting kinda fed up with the ridiculous amounts of gatso?s kicking about and laser vans etc. etc. etc who are operating under the veil of being for safety when actually they are there to generate revenue ? pure and simple.
It?s seems that the humble motorist weather it be someone who has a performance car ? or clbuttic car, or just a bog standard car is being penalised due to the over zealous speed enforcement that occurs in this country.
We all enjoy driving and we are being taxed to pieces do to petrol tax, road tax and now the speeding tax. So I propose we protest about it. Cause a bit of a commotion. Get noticed. Prove a point. Kick Off!
Basically the argument is that the speed camera is now not being used as a safety, life saving device ? but a revenue device for the government ? instead of being used in areas where these installations (weather fixed of mobile) would reduce accidents ? they are being more commonly used in areas where it?s dead easy to catch someone slightly straying over an unrealistically low speed limit . It?s not ok any more ? driving used to be a pleasurable experience ? now it?s ruined due to having to spend each and every moment checking you speedometer.
I?m proposing that on the 1st August we do something.
Namely a mbutt protest by narked motorists who are prepared to get on the road to make a stand AND MAKE A DIFFERENCE.
Starting at Carlisle in the early hours as many of us as possible will drive down through the country ? on mbutt ? without breaking a single speed limit ? or any law. But our route (which will be decided nearer the time ? for obvious reasons) will cause a great deal of congestion and disruption ? but hopefully we will be backed by the majority of the motoring public, who too feel aggrieved by how the roads are now policed.
I know there are many arguments about road safety and correct driving ? I?m not proposing we should protest about any reasonable law ? but a law that is broken by so many, so often, is surly a law that should be changed.
If you know of other people in other car clubs, or know of other car club forums where it would be a good idea to post a link to our revolution get on there and do it.
Let me know where else this is being posted so I can get stuck in and get this co-ordinated.
NOW IS TIME FOR A CHANGE!
VIVE LA REVOLUTION!!!!
and I'll count you in and put you on a list so that you get all the developments!
Thanks folks,

Basically send this arround as many car-truck-van-motorcycle (but not caravan as they move too slow as it is) groups, clubs and societies and the press. Produce a mbutt slow moving but legal "Silent" protest about not all, but just badly placed cameras and illogical limit reductions all across england and wales. -- "Sorry Sir, the meatballs are Orf" The poster formerly known as Skodapilot.
