Done - we need something done as this is a tax on people you enjoy a hobby as well as it being a necessity for most people as the transport infrastructure in this country falls to pieces around us.

When you go to most other major cities in the world their transport systems make ours look a joke yet we still pay all these stealth taxes for what exactly?

By christ I am angry now  :angry:

Democracy - People didn't even vote Brown in. At least we have aired our opinions.

Bring on the election :afro:

This country ceased to be democratic as soon as Labour got into power. The current government is a thinly veiled socialist dictatorship. With a bitter and twisted (you have something better than me so I'm gonna make you pay) Mayor of its capital.

You may notice, I'm not a fan  :grin:

Not having paid road tax for some years it does not really affect me

They have to collect taxes.

But higher oil/fuel prices = more money (increase in Tax revenue)

More cars on the road = more road tax, more petrol used = more money.

What about ALL the people who don't pay road tax?? Now they have an even bigger excuse not to.

The extra money is not going to offset carbon emissions is it?

I think you hit the nail on the head there. What makes you think that any other government will be any different??? There is a reason why Labour were voted in, in the first place.
