The Britsh public, Don't you just love 'em?

The residents of the village of Broughton

Google Streetview may (or may not) be invasive, but describing it as an invitation for bad men to come and rob your affluent village because they can see it on the internet is probably the most idiotic reason for objecting to anything that I have ever heard*. Robbers are too busy studying fixture lists and robbing premiership footballers while they play away to bother with suburban towns who draw attention to their opulence in the national press when no one would bothered to look them up had they not.

Anyway, I'm surprised that the majority of the responses on The Daily Mail's website are actually sensible reasoned arguments** contradicting the facile, NIMBYism displayed by the residents of Broughton, Cambridgeshire. But there are, of course, plenty of 'THINK OF THE CHILDREN!!!' comments to delight and amuse.

Enjoy!
