According to the FT this morning:

Stephen Byers, the UK transport secretary, is planning the privatisation of the main road network in England. The plans would involve handing over planning, supervision and maintenance work for 30 years to private companies, who could earn extra money by reducing congestion and improving safety.

So, do you think we will not have to pay car Tax any more?? Will petrol prices be lower??

Or do you think we will be f***ed by the Government again???

I am so annoyed...
