That website could have been set up by the Nazi's. What a load of crap especially the "sell your car and use public transport" bit. Words fail me they really do.

Check the politics link as that contains some real bks.
We are in the worst recession the country has ever known which was caused by fking New Labor and the Blair lies and these tts honestly think we are going to vote them in again shoot

I genuinely cannot understand how some people can be so blinkered/downright thick.



One whoosh parrot if the website is a very elaborate joke, though.

"Theres no such thing as a safe motor car"

They throw up a valid point as anyone could have a crash in one but you also have about as much chance of dying if you were to use public transport or walk everywhere.

They seem to be in the running for the Piss Poor Web Design 2011 award also. Probably put together by some wispy-chinned bespectacled berk who lives on a yoghurt-powered whole-food collective with a recumbent bicycle outside.

No mention of air travel in their alternatives? Hmmm...

That website looks 10 plus years old in terms of design. It has to be a pisstake, surely.

We should dump these people in the middle of rural Devon and give them the task of getting home using only the piss poor public transport system.

They might even get there within a week.

Always worth a giggle at www.transportdirect.info.

Unless you live in a major city, public transport always loses to the private car on journey times, and their car journey times are calculated by a Meriva driver on an off day too. Example, my commute would take six times longer in the evening and I would arrive home too late to be able to leave in time to get back in the morning.

Or 50 minutes in the van.

I don't think the Nazis deserve to be linked with these people, seems unfair. That's where I stand.
Idiotic bunch of knobs. It'd be nice if someone like Lulzsac hacked that site.

You *have* to read the Q&A section. I am cracking up here.

If you fly, use flybe not ryanair because 'ryanair has no trade unions allowed
so there is no guarantee of good working conditions for the staff who are exploited'

Whoever wrote this stuff is a comedy genius.

"2011 ~ 2020 WHO Decade of Action for road safety."

Errrm is that not 9 years? I'm sure a decade used to be 10 years.

If it was 2011-2020 INCLUSIVE it would be ten years.

Wind up or not its comedy, stuff like that just makes people dig their heels in more and makes them even more reliant on their cars.

I love cars, I really do but I dont think current usage is sustainable in terms of numbers, usage and the expense so I save my car for when I need to carry more people, carry stuff, want to go fast, want to get somewhere quickly.

I do think about alternatives, going into Manchester I use the train so I dont have to park, get my car damaged or have the hassle of it. I generally walk into our town centre as a car is more trouble than its worth, 50P to park if you can find a spot, numpties opening car doors on it. I cycle to work as its a lovely seven mile ride through the Cheshire countryside, I do other tasks on the bike as well, quick nip to the post office and the bike is the quickest way there is and I can park at the door, a Lambo wouldnt be any quicker for that round trip.

Not everyone who uses alternatives is a car hater, its a case of using the right tool for the job, a large car is not the right tool for taking a small parcel to the post office but its great for carrying people and stuff, great when its raining as well (though I am not that bothered by rain, since I realised a few drops of water or even a drenching is rarely fatal)

What I am saying is that these idiots are making you go the other way, to use your car until the keys are prised from your cold dead hands, if you play their game a little then maybe there could be a compromise and we get to use our cars for longer, as it is they are just itching to legislate us off the road.

We need to use alternatives as a nation, we are getting too fat and lazy, my dads neighbour drives the 100 yards to the Chinese takeaway and is 5 foot tall and as wide, our car usage has go perverse, we use it without giving it a thought even when its the wrong choice, when we need the exercise we still drive, something has gone wrong somewhere, my next door neighbour drives to the common, kicks the dog out, dog parks its breakfast and she brings it back home, ffs just walk !

Why is anyone taking that site seriously? It's covered in affiliate links, it's got links to a totally different site plastered all over it, and it looks like it's been put together in Notepad.

Call me cynical, but it looks to me like someone has set up a st site, rammed it full of keywords for public transport and road safety (badly, I might add), and is using it to drive traffic to their other sites and sell products using affiliate links. The fact that the other site that's been linked repeatedly (brightconnections.fr.gd) uses the same design (playing fast and loose with the word design, I know) and is also covered affiliate links only makes me more convinced that you've found is a totally st attempt to set up a keyword based money generating website.

I'd suggest that it's not working.
