The cynic in me asks: "Are we justifying the preparation of ourselves for the forthcoming Global Oil Wars with the Arabs?"..and trying desparately to reduce our dependency on them?

To put it in such "Blunt" terms.....is simply not ...er PC is it not?



Cameras, motoring taxes, parking fines, congestion charges, global warming (4x4's are to blame) scares, Gas guzzlers! cancer, .......... spontaenious human combustion! ALL due to the MOTORIST!.....

rolleyes It's mind manipulation folks!........or "brainwashing" as they called it when they said that the "commies" did it.....


Explain yourself George W......

Steve Norris, chairman of the transport working group, believes much of the "excitement" of a Tory government will depend on the degree to which Mr Cameron embraces such ideas. He said he expected the fuel duty escalator scrapped by Gordon Brown in 1999 to be reintroduced, though one party official said the eventual blueprint would be "much more imaginative" than that.
