didn't know it was the DVLA, an odd target.

Like most of the public he/she is obviously pissed off that the government are trying to screw us over...

macnab - 7/2/07 at 12:38 PM

or perhaps that's what they want you to think...

if he / she doesn't like the way thiscountry is going, simple solution is to leave, not try and evict retribution.

all that aside, it's wrong, and I work for an OEM and we've already been warned to be more vigilent about suspicious packages.

I agree, and just like any kind of violence like this, it's a serious set back for the cause of legitimate campaigners.

someones got a bad case of road rage

What amazes me is that someone at the DVLA would be opening padded envelopes after the C-charge people and speeding ticket places were bombed in the 2 previous days.

Stupid and will just give the anti-car people ammunition.

What is the betting they will introduce a stupid new "safety" policy where they don't open anything for two weeks after it arrives to see if it blows up! Given the verbal abuse I was given by a DVLA employee yesterday I can see how the temptation was there. . . .

or they put them through a shredder to see if it was a bomb...

if you think about it, the bomb must have been constricted extrememly well to survive handling by the Post Office and still work

hmmm, will the letter box slots return like they did when the IRA were doing this?

It's ok to make a protest but this is taking it a bit too far.
