News and Opinion in Black and White

Looks like the British motorist is going to get pasted again by the government. What do they think they are doing? If you look at the motorist as a customer of the government, then the service absolutley stinks. With all the millions that the motorist pays into the government pockets you would think that we would get something back in return, but this is not the case.

If Gordon Brown really wants to do something to help the environment then he should look at slashing congestion, not reducing it, slashing it. Nobody benefits from sitting in a traffic jam, except maybe the fuel companies. There has got to be some intelligent research done into sorting these congestion problems out.

Trying to get people out of cars and onto public transport? Sounds like a communist philosphy to me. If you can’t go out and buy a nice car which gives you the freedom to travel anywhere you want went you want, in comfort, then it reduces the motivation for earning more money which is what capatilism is all about, is it not?

If traffic problems are sorted out you not only get a more efficient economy, people will be happier and the country will be greener. The root of the problem should be tackled not the symptom.
