I used to listen to him on the radio quite a lot and to give him his due, he
was a convincing snake oil salesman who had the gift of getting the radio
presenter on his side. It was somewhat spoiled by his website which was full
of barking mad people talking claptrap, much like the ABD lot are now.
Don't underestimate the attractiveness of people who publicly say what
you desperately wish was true, even though you know it's not. That
was his main constituency, I think: people who desperately want to
believe that speed enforcement is a problem and speeding is not.
