Guardian Comment Is Free - Is Wheel Clamping Fair

http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2009/aug/22/observer-panel-wheel-clamping-just?commentpage=1&commentposted=1

Interesting debate going on here.

Amazingly Diane Abbott, the Labour MP who is avowedly anti-car by her own admission, believes it is.

Karol Sikora sees it being a remedy to cars clogging up the road. He may be a good Cancer specialist but he is a bit bonkers.

Interested in the views of others here on the thread.

    Been trying to work out how clamping will remove enough cars from the road to assist in reducing pollution. Failed. The towing lorry probably churns out more carp than a parked car, oh yes a pigeon will churn out more pollution than a parked car.
    I'd rather be an Optimist and be proved wrong than a Pessimist and be proved right.
