It's like David Brent meets Middle Earth:

We need to get this man as much exposure as we can.

Nothing else will make the public realise what a gormless **** he is.

I'm trying to understand. Surely it's a good thing if people that
ignore court summons and suchlike have some penalty imposed?

Of course they should - is that what he was saying? Like I said, he
doesn't come across well - I was more distracted by his personal
presentation that what he was saying, and that isn't a good thing for
someone trying to make a point :-)

I think so - he says something like "suppose you happen to lose or
perhaps just ignore two separate court summons, well then you might
end up disqualified from driving". This delivered with an outraged,
what-is-the-world-coming-to sort of tone.

If you shut your eyes (so the middle-world-like visuals don't put you
off) it is a remarkably good David Brent impersonation, however.

But there are lots of gormless folk out there who will believe what he's
saying and add their hitherto silent voices to the protests.....

As I recollect from his brief appearance in newsgroups Mr Smith
considers that he represents "serious" motorists. I wonder whether a
"serious" motorist would "mislay" a document to do with their
motoring? Sounds unlikely to me.

His toady acolytes have popped up to defend him in comments now. Well,
one has. He claims Smith appears in the newspapers so must be
trustworthy.

Great idea kenneth:

This bearded **** (Smith) appears in the newspapers so he must be
trustworthy? Like Jade Goody, you mean?

If publicity automatically bestows credibility then I've a great idea
for Smith- a nude calendar!

He could pose with a traffic cone stuck up his arse!

In fact he could "Do it twice!"

He would probably want to sell it with the rest of your details online
to allow some ejit to get off a camera fine. After all he seems to think
using the recently deceased's details, and upsetting bereaving families
is a good idea.

Handicapped!

Oh my God, you should have said!!


Everybody, Paul Smith has a HANDICAP that forces him to conceal his
qualifications, encourage people to pervert justice and avoid
answering any questions about his pile of ****e theories about how
speed cameras kill people.

Be kind to him, he is one of the afflicted.

Or, on the other hand, would it not be kinder in the long run to take
him outside and shoot him in the back of the head?

This isn't a joke.

Smith encourages killer drivers, endorses reckless driving and ****es
on baby mice and stuffs them up his arse*, surely kinder to put him
out of our misery?

* Check this one.

I know that it is not his fault for being criminally stupid, and I would
not normally say anything. However when he chooses to air that stupidity
in front of the nation's media fronting a campaign that, if successful,
will dramatically increase the dangers on our roads, then he is fair game.

That would explain why he thinks it's all right to park in handicapped
spaces.

But there's a valid point there, we shouldn't be mocking him because
he has the personal grooming and presentation skills of a dead badger.

We should be mocking him because he's a dangerous loon with the road
sense and grasp of statistics of a dead badger.

Well, we know that dead badgers don't have much road sense, but how do
we know what their grasp of statistics are?

Trouble is, badgers see everything in black and white.

I think Denis Leary said it best:

Sometimes I park in handicapped spaces
While handicapped people make handicapped faces
I'm an asshole (He's an asshole, what an asshole)

What exactly did Smith say about handicapped people? I remember
something about he doesn't see why they get parking spaces.

I don't know about you, but I find it reassuring to know that Brave Sir
Robin will defend the handicapped; it's evidently only people without
cars who aren't worth caring about. :-D

[I'm left unsure whether handicapped people who don't drive receive
Brave Sir Robin's concern. Perhaps it might be worth enlightening us -
and then again, perhaps not.]

Time for a new law - compulsory wearing of helmets for all badgers.
