Gatso left for dead in revenge attack say cheap motor insurer.
Breaking motoring news just reaching us here at Insureyourmotor.co.uk HQ, and it looks as though the cheaper motor insurer's journalists were right when they brought Insureyourmotor.co.uk earlier reports of a random attack on a Gatso near Colchester . Confirming this is one of the cheap motor insurer's people on the ground, who don't like the look of what they see. Which is a million miles away from what Insureyourmotor.co.uk witness daily from the cheap motor insuring newsroom - that being countless stories of happy cheap motor insurers beaming from ear to ear with their cheap motor insuring tales. Anyway, Insureyourmotor.co.uk best take a cheap motor insuring look at what's been going on..
The following is a diary extract from an urban warrior. Those rare breed of people who smash/maim/destroy/kill someone/thing/where in the name of the rest of us, who are nine times out of the ten oblivious to their cause. As are they after their third job;
Get up. Don't wash. Get dressed in army surplus. Pump up bicycle tyres. Check foam extinguisher. Place pre-wrapped sandwiches into satchel. Sling onto shoulder. Roll-up completed anti-government slogan-ed banner from previous evening. Roll-up joint. Practice foreign accent in case get questioned at scene, whilst perfecting maddening stare. Put on balaclava. Take to the streets. Stopping only briefly to nab crumbling masonry en route. Proceed with caution. Wait for fellow cause followers/employment-dodgers. Initiate a chant or something. Let off friends flare to up the tempo and arouse spirits. Reach for flask. Talk bikes. Raise your banner to acceptable levels, only for a passer by to inform you that you've spelt the word w***er wrong. Assault observant passer by to get you in the mood. And for being observant. Sit around waiting for nightfall. Nightfall arrives. head for target. Large yellow Target looms into view. Reach in satchel for foam extinguisher. Get a bunk up on co-accused's shoulder. Spray foam all over lens. Demount close friend. Run away from scene. Fast. Grab bicycle. Bicycle off quickly, shouting expletives. Only in Portuguese. Return to base. Regroup. Wait for news headlines for your moment of glory only to realise you don't own a television, chair or home.
Anti-establishmentanarianism I believe it's called. When it's spelt correctly. Thing is, it's not this type of no-mark with 70's political stance that is responsible for defacing the nations speed cameras. Its normally law-abiding citizens. Motorists. Who don't own bicycle clips, but do pay extortionate road taxes. And they're getting jolly sick of constantly being nabbed for creeping over speed limits. So they're hitting back. The worm has turned and all that.
So Jeremy Clarkson is a w***er. Not my words I hasten to add, as personally he is one of my motoring heroes. But in the probably more carefully chosen vernacular of several mock-authoritarians who live in houses topped-off with straw roofs, and enjoy activities with Labradors; then it's all his fault that this is happening. Naturally, no-one would have had similar thoughts of how to avenge the speeding deterrent and saviour of road safety in such a manner, until pointed out recently by the great man. Sorry, did I say deterrent. How remiss of me. That should of course read - way in which to line the pockets of government and local councils, which is as we all know, why they exist. And pro-create.
The most recent vigilante attack occurred on Ipswich road, just off the A12 into Colchester . As mundane as you can get. Where it was sprayed with insulation foam, which is known in the building trade to harden after minutes of application. People who care have their suspicions that it could be the work of someone who's been caught for speeding thereabouts. Ludicrous accusations by those that should tend to their tomatoes.
Although these critics will immediately blame Clarkson for this latest incident, indirectly of course, along with global warming, the melting of the polar icecaps and that gas explosion a few months back, these 'incidents' have been happening for a while. In 2003 foot-soldiers from Motorists Against Detection, (MAD) let slip they'd vandalised about 6 Gatso's - grand total of damage? - £100,000. All in a (few) days work. There's been reports of brutal attacks on speed cameras in Leeds too, where hired help had twizzled some cameras around to face into residents homes. And then there was the gang in Shropshire , who made their statement courtesy of a heavy-duty chain saw. Even over Hadrian's Wall they've been busy. A clearly upset motorist had poured petrol across a Gatso in Scotland , and then set fire to it, in what was thought to be a revenge attack. But if its points for originality you're looking for, then a Swiss driver takes some beating. The cuckoo motorist took his pick-axe to a roadside guardian last year after they'd been clocked doing 50. In a 30mph zone. Not content with smashing it clean off its stand they then proceeded to run it over. Believing it still to be capable of ruining their, or someone else's lives, they drove up a mountain with it. Good job they lived in Switzerland is all we can say. Whereby they lobbed it off the top of a cliff - for good measure. Just the ticket.
