Survived but was mentally scarred, threatened to kill Farage later in the year as he blamed him for his downfall and later killed himself! Sad tale.
Jesus! Never knew that, was it in the news? DeuxCentCinq said:

UKIP also want to charge foreign drivers using our roads. I think that is fair enough given how much in tolls that I have had to pay driving around Italy, France etc.
You miss one very important detail... Are you charged differently to a local driver on those roads?http://www.tunnelmb.net/v3.0/gb/tarifgb.asp

The tolls are slightly different depending on which side you're entering, but that's because of different French & Italian VAT rates. Likewise, the Severn bridge is free one way and the other way. But all prices apply to everybody.

don't know about charging them but registering them and logging driver and insurance details might be an idea considering how many of the f
kers cause an accident then disappear off the face of the planetmoustachebandit said:

Chrsit! A UKIP policy I agree with!
Never thought I'd say that!
Another I agree with is the promise to remove parking charges from hospitals. When my father had Cancer neither he nor my mother could work because he needed constant care and taking for chemotherapy twice a week. My parents were dipping into savings and pension funds just to pay their mortgage and their bills and the car parking charges were a serious drain on their finances. That's probably even more important than removing speed cameras because charging people to park at hospitals shouldn't be necessary, especially when many have Parking Eye systems that cause problems and stress for people at difficult times, and people often have to make repeated and unavoidable visits to hospitals.Never thought I'd say that!
UKIP have also promised to reduce Fuel Duty. A party that can be on the motorist's side is a party that is appealing to a great many people, probably most of the voting public, so it makes sense despite the fact most parties don't seem to appreciate it.
1. My wife is undergoing a 6 month course of Chemo. She gets a free parking pass from the Oncology ward.
2. My mate was in Intensive Care in St Georges Tooting. His wife got a free parking pass too.
I've got no problem personally with a nominal all day charge to park outside of situations like the above, similar to a railway station, a few quid. Perhaps with a first hour free. Otherwise the car parking will either fill up with non hospital visitors (especially in busy city locations like St Georges) OR waste hospital staff time in validating parking coupons.
