Return of National road tolling intentions

[B 7 VP]

Just when you thought that the Govt parasites had realised that their plans for a National road tolling scheme was a No NO and had been binned, comes details in this weeks Autocar of the real master plan.

In the recent local transport bill, it aims to improve the local bus services, reform local transport governance,update the framework for LOCAL road pricing and deliver a new framework for bus services.

Reforming local transport governance means the creation of Intergrated Transport Authorities(ITA)to replace the existing small number of passenger transport authorities in local areas- so a copy of the the highly successful Transport for London scam ,known for their democratic actions.

No surprise then that the ITA,s will be given the power under the local transport bills to the Implementation of LOCAL road charging schemes in their area and to introduce JOINT charging schemes to join up with other area,s.Bingo---its gone National !!!!.Rubber stamped as per the "consultations in the TFL extention areas" will be dropped---you mustnt have another Edinburgh rejection eh!.Lots of other details in article.

The record of this Govt in their lying, stealing,incompetance,cheating,seems to increase on a daily basis--whenever the latest disclosure comes to light its followed by another smokescreen to hide the "Bad News Day" and you can guarantee the Motorist will be this weeks fall guy/ess.

I am gullible, naive and believe everything I am told by the Govt--so when do I see some positive Re-Action to this daily brainwash.

To be fair, I'd rather it was controlled by my local council who are more accountable to me, being local people who are locally elected rather than that jock in Westminster.

But then I don't drive to work...

And my council is Blue (rinsers)

I'm still mystified as to why public bodies should be funding private companies.

Ah, yes, sort of like the way that the residents of Kensington and Chelsea were consulted about the proposal to extend the Livingstone Zone into their borough. They were massively opposed to the idea, so their Mayor just went ahead and did it anyhow.

What is more, he intends to put the charge up to £25 for any car with over a 3 litre engine or that is in the top tax bracket, and residents with these cars will not be eligible for the current 90% discount. Envy politics at its worst.

Envy of what, I wonder - economic success, or simple physical competence: although most other people can drive a car easily, the pathetic little turd Livingstone could not manage to pass his driving licence test?

Gordon Brown doesn't have a driving licence either, due to poor eyesight. Or so I believe...
