Anything? Ok. let's legalise drugs. That'll bring in far more cash than these petrol sniffing jollies. All year round. It's a no brainer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

La Colombe Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 I bet they'd welcome such a move. it would be an experiment for them without consequences for individual MPs. It could always be reversed. The rest of the civilised world is trudging slowly towards it anyway, it's just a matter of time for us British to follow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I am sure you have nothing to hide can you answer the following questions? 1) – How much are you paying for the Road Closure of the Sloc? 2) – If a vehicle crashes on a closed road who will pay for the cost of any subsequent investigation, medical costs, repairs to the road etc? 3) – If additional Roads Policing is required during the 5 days e.g. due to complaints from the general public about the standard of driving etc who will pay these costs? I appreciate that you might claim commercial confidentiality over some of this, but ball park figures for question 1 would help to gather support for your event. Don’t forget that an FOI request after the event will almost certainly answer most of these questions. Will I refer you to the answer I gave the Honourable Gentleman some moments ago.

So to sum up your answers in a straight forward easy to understand format that will be:- 1) - We are not paying anything 2) - The tax payer will pay for any costs involved if there is an accident on closed roads. 3)- The tax payer will pay for any costs involved in policing the event.

The answer is if you want the answer, get cracking with setting up an event, satisfy the Act, Regulations, insurers and authorities, and you'll have everything at your fingertips.

Your evasiveness is overwhelming and especially incriminating. Several people have now asked you quite reasonable questions which you have refused to answer. The only conclusion can be that Nelwd is 100% right in their assumption. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conclude whatever you like Kevmeister. Maybe you could give BAC Mono a call and ask them the same questions. I'll be interested to hear how you get on with that.
