It's all for our own safety, dear. And it's fairer.

We all did. That's kind of the point.

Oh, I *do* hope so. One word: "Orgreave".

Oh, I fully believe it. They're fucking thick enough.

I do hardly any miles in the car[1], I'm afraid.

I can't really be bothered reading the rest of this thread, but surely
bikes will be mostly exempt from this crap?

[1] very briefly contemplated buying another 4.9l car to go with the
4.0l one we already have, and then I wised up.

 

No.

Next...

 

You seem to be advocating such a fuel blockade.

If you are, you're more of an idiot than I thought.

Say what you like about New Labour, but they are great kite-flyers when it
comes to policy.

I expect once the practicalities (or absence thereof) are worked through,
and the fuss has died down, we'll end up with something along the lines of a
nationwide congestion charging/road toll system for cities and motorways.
That plus a fuel levy, perhaps at a slightly reduced rate, should have most
of the effects of an idealised GPS-based charging system while avoiding the
usual government IT money-pit effect

 

Wicked Uncle Nigel scribbled:

How do you make that out? I voted for someone else, so definitely
didn't elect them back in.

Thats just so true

 

Nigel meant "that's the point of democracy". We all get to vote - if
you don't like the outcome, tough.

 

NAHAY?
