So someone with a grudge against speeding cameras etc is sending letter bombs to the companies involved with the admin of the fines. I just want to make it clear that although I was recently railing against my own forthcoming fine and the points on my license that this timing is just coincidental.
It wasn't me who decided to take the law into my hands and fight back against the greedy, sneaky law enforcers. And anyone who says it was is lying.
Though I have to admit that the letter I had to send back to admit that it was me who was driving my car had been sitting on my kitchen table for a while and got a bit stained with margarine and I had considered maybe wiping other more disgusting things on to the form and envelope just to get back at the bastards who had tricked me into driving too fast (yes it was their fault). I didn't go ahead with my plan to taint the letter opener with the bodily excretions of me or local dogs, but it's easy to understand how someone could snap in these circumstances and do something illegal.
And whilst sending explosives through the post is not something I can condone, I think it would be a fine hearted driver (or one who had never fallen subject to petty fines for marginal speeding offences or tiny infringements of bus lanes) who did not slightly think, "Well done mysterious mental bomber", before then thinking, "No, no, what you have done is too far and has resulted in the injury of relative innocents", before then thinking, "Fuck it, well done! That'll teach the wankers."
Of course if anyone gets killed I will immediately retract these thoughts, but at the moment a couple of people have had a shock and got burnt fingers, which to be honest is how I felt when I opened my recent unexpected letter, so maybe it's not so unfair.
Of course it would be an awful society to live in if everyone took out their petty grievances on people by sending them explosives and really I don't think it's good and the worst I would do is wipe the letter against a contaminated animal of some kind in the hope of spreading some non-lethal virus through the office of the speeding fine department, but human beings being what we are, I think it's hard not to have a tiny amount of respect for this mentally unbalanced criminal.
But that doesn't mean it was me that done it. Because it wasn't.
You can watch a slightly shaky video (almost as if it was shot illegally) of Stew and me at Tedstock by
