What is the point in arguing against a scheme that is working perfectly well
elsewhere? Are you suggesting that the people of the UK are in some way less
intelligent or able to to adapt than the people of Holland? Or are you in
favour of further dumbing down?

Look upon this as a first step in despatching Nanny back to the Nursery.


I haven't quite worked out whether this scheme will also involve
removing the street lights - and if it does, is that not an invitation
to pickpockets, muggers, etc? In which case, pedestrians will probably
avoid the street after dark, thus removing a great deal of the problem
at one swell foop!
