Humping the taxpayer like a stag on viagra

What do you know? Breaking news it ain't, that road humps increase carbon dioxide emissions, and exhaust fumes, as well as damaging cars. I've heard this before – indeed it's stating the bleeding obvious - but it's in the press again, due to a study commissioned by the AA, who's 'solution' to this is to call for something even more hateful – average speed cameras. Oh, fuck off will you. So far, so predictable, but what catches my eye is this part:

“Putting in 50 standard humps on three or four connecting residential streets costs about £150,000. A set of eight average-speed cameras covering the same area would cost £250,000.”

God help us. A quarter of a million quid for three or four roads?! Three grand for a hump? And the cunts can't even fill in the potholes while they're at it. Why not keep your cameras and your humps, leave the potholes – that'll slow down the traffic – and I'll keep my money, then maybe I'll be able to buy some food this week you thieving, profligate scum.
