Only in Britain would the police give power to
A group of civilians, allowing them to make false claims
Of speeding and yet not do anything to check that they
Do not abuse this power but simply
Let them continue to lie unabated.
What can you do in such a country when a group of NIMBYs
Are empowered to slander- and do it happily for their purpose?
But keep driving through their hamlet despite them
While they keep lying about your speed
Until the thing becomes ludicrous and absurd enough
That someone sees it for what it is and does something about it.
