Mayor stopped for speeding by school children

Doncaster Mayor, Peter Davies, was pulled over by school children for exceeding the 30mph limit

The primary school children were assisting Police performing speed checks close to their school when Mayor Davies was caught doing 33mph in the 30mph limit. Police did not hand out a fine or points but had a few words with the Mayor. He stated that in future he will be more careful, but did not support children being taken out of school as part of the “Neighbourhood Alliance” project to tackle speeding and suggested that road safety be taught alongside English and Maths in the classroom.

    Once again we see the insiduous brainwashing of our children by the state. Every day we seem to be getting nearer and nearer to the horrors of George Orwells 1984. The slow and relentless erosion of our freedom seems to be the policy of whichever government is in power. Someone once said ‘Give me the child and I will give you the man.’, never was that so true as it is now when children, many of whom will leave school as illiterate as they went into it, are being brainwshed into becoming elements of the state. Keep our schools for education (and can we have the three ‘R’s and sitting at desks being taught by teachers with the power to enforce discipline and command respect), not for political machinations.

    Ken lines.
