  12. Persecution of british motorists on RFID License Plates in the UK · · Score: 0


    We are fed up of this I and many who i've talked to would like the police to catch criminals and leave the motorist alone. They are spending too much on forcing the driver to conform or PAY. as far as the car driver is concerned Britain is now a police state. The police give very little time to theft and breakins etc.

    For historical information dead trees are 'dead' usefull plus they make for a good read on the crapper (in the library (well it is in my house!)). The internet will only take over when all old books have been scanned and put online.
    Pick a random book from the shelves per session, you never know what you will find out. But google does wonders for modern info.
    Book collecter and geek can't decide what was the question. Time for a shit I'm off now.
