Why do I think it’s been nobbled? Because they put the spin on it that every one is fighting on technicalities rather than the parking attendant errors, camera errors, and the blatant withholding of evidence that is used to disadvantage people in court.
When we got a positive 1/3 of a page in the Portsmouth news, the local camera partnership got a two page spread a week later. When the story broke that roadwork’s were less safe with cameras, the DFT flooded the news with stories about people hurling abuse and missiles at road workers.
I don't know how it happens but I know it does.
I have seen the same happen with Medicinal cannabis story for MS. We were getting loads of good press and then we saw a backlash from government and doctors. Middle England didn't like people having cannabis to relieve pain, bladder weakness, balance, enhanced sleep, for fear that a drug crazed person in a wheel chair might make their son smoke crack cocaine or inject heroin. Sadly medicinal cannabis passed it trials in the uk but has not hit the chemist shelves. The Americans will get there first and sell it to us at some exorbitant price.
Cannabis chocolate has as much to do with heroin as numerical speed has to do with road safety. (no, I haven’t got any)
(Subtle last line in a cheeky attempt to get it back on topic
