As a postie of many years I can confirm that many non-uk families are housed in the uk's council housing estates, this is what annoys people the most along with the claiming/fiddling of the child tax/working tax credit. Again, I deliver many of these daily, along with the debt letters to many of our eastern european friends who simply vanish after taking out loans etc etc. Then we have the "night fisherman" who steal fish, the drink drivers in my local paper , often eastern europeans. Of course im racist , not just speaking the truth am i that i see on a daily basis. The country is over run and we being british just lay back and let our once proud country turn to ****. rant over and wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyy off topic, as for the 50mph limit, what next? what a shitty country

I disagree with the bit about a 50mph limit reducing CO2 emissions. Surely if they keep it at 60 and more people die then that's more drivers/cars off the road forever which will have a greater effect on CO2 emissions (and congestion)

I also think that more people will ignore it and get annoyed with people that are doing 50 causing them to do stupid overtakes and cause just as many accidents. Why should the rest of us suffer due to people who are not able to drive properly?

Yeah its really the individual drivers that cause accidents, not the gerenal speed. The cars themselves can affect things too (good brakes, tyres, general handling etc.) For example, I would say that us ZS drivers have a much more capable car than most of what you see on the road and therefore can manouver and brake much more effectively (and safely) at higher speeds. Of course its all about averages, and we get stuck with limits that are determined by much less able vehicles.

As for drivers... I often think how I can drive perfectly safely at 60mph (or dare I say above 60

Only joking officer

) on most B roads, so long as oncoming drivers can stay on their F'ing side of the road - which a lot of the time they cant! Thats what really causes accidents, people who simply cant handle a car very well, and cant judge where they are on the road.

You fail to mention how many of these types of letters you deliver to scrounging 'UK' families or the UK families who bleed us dry because they don't want to work , how many sat dishes do you see in council estates...answer...lots, owned by brits who don't work. You might deliver letters to them but I live in a council estate...none of my neighbours is foreign they are all English and all of them, including the ones who don't work have sat dishes, I don't but I work 37 hours a week.

We, as a country, have the worst rate of teenage pregnancy, why? because then the little chavars can get their own place, paid for by the likes of me and you for nowt! You are blind if you think the only people who cream us are foreign, we have had a culture who relies on everyone else and blames everyone else for years ' I didn't go to school, it's my teachers fault... there's no work in my street so f**k that I'm not going to work....' It goes on..I work with people who say the same thing to me over and over, we winge and blame everyone else....ooooh it's their fault they're (insert nationality)! Racists, I s**t on them, and feel sorry for their kids, you're not born a racist it comes from ignorant, intolerant people and the sooner they die out the better for the world.

Back on topic everyone... This is about the reduction of speed limits, not immigration.
