I have no problem in payin road tolls when it is paying for the road / bridge / tunnel that I am using. My objection comes in when the toll is levied to pay for the infrastucture costs with the promise from Government that it will stop once the job is paid for. I think of it as the same as getting a DFS sofa on 4 years interest free.

I object to the rules being changed by Government so that we are to spend forever paying for something that is already paid for.

Personally I just feel that is just an excuse, and there is a bit of a pattern here - large scale culturally acceptable tax evasion - which (all in my opinion) seems to map neatly to the letters P,I,I,G,S.
Couldn't happen somewhere with rubbish weather.

"The latest HMRC report highlighted a selection of key factors that led to the £42 billion deficit, such as the deliberate evasion of payment by some taxpayers, and the failure to declare income from a second job, known as ‘moonlighting’, by others."
