Dont blame us! It's not your run of the mill gossip here, somebody's career might be influenced by this outcome.
That said, I believe one party expressed the following sentiment on a BBC viewers response page:

Come on Ernest, you must really try harder than that, you know very well I don't have any interest whatsoever in keeping my job. I have told you time and time again I don't have to work at all so how would I have any interest whatsoever in attempting to keep up a revenue stream to keep me in a job. I have 2 pensions paying already and business interests that top those up.
So it looks like it's really a bit of a charitable endeavour on somebody's part - very kindly addressing a problem which has yet to be proved as such - in the case of Ings, since the KSI's at that site do NOT seem to have been the result of speeding!
Of course this has yet to be resolved too, since the Westmorland Gazette's FOI request as to the causes of accidents there was refused - presumably on the grounds that it would give the game away, and show that somebody was resorting to quackery, pseudoscience, or some knowingly employed bogus means of impressing people in order to swindle their victims by selling them worthless nostrums and similar goods or services that will not deliver on the promises made for them!
The local police do not believe speeding is causing KSI's at Ings, they believe other causes are far more prominent. It's just a shame that their voices are not given the public airing afforded by a Safety Camera Partnership budget!
Given sufficient funds, I am sure they could even cook up a survey which showed the public agreeing with them if the right questions were formulated!
