What difference would it make? Labour have supposedly spent
billions extra on the NHS in the last few years, no
improvement. Eliminate the waste, the thousands of
unnecessary admin staff - and spend the savings on new
roads.


Who says there are thousands of unnecessary admin staff ?

The RCN, The BMA for starters.

what country are you living in whereby local councils do not purposely
create congestion, because they certainly do in London. And are you also
denying the govt doesn't steal a large percentage of road tax that it uses
on non-road issues? tunnel vision and non-reality, looks like you suffer
both, you maroon.

Yup they have done it deliberatly round here, created congestion spots at

certain junctions and choke points, reset traffic lights to favour empty
feeder roads against roads that have the traffic etc.


For what purpose?

People are complaining about the Humber Bridge. The people mainly using
it are those going to Grimsby.


People go *to* Grimsby?

eh? you really must be very thick, only a small percentage of our road
tax is spent on roads and then they want us to pay extra to travel on
certain roads, where is the logic in that you total moron? if you had a
brain you'd realise the obvious answer is that more of our road tax
should be spent on the roads, not stolen/wasted elsewhere.

Very interesting (though biased) the new relief road is entirely
privately funded, you either choose to use it or you don't.

Hey Conor, that's a new tag line, better than the old repetition, keep

After all if my costs increase to move goods from AtoB, who do you
think I pass that cost on to?

Try the railways.

It's like giving up on the NHS and telling everyone to get private
health care.

Don't most of the government already have private health care?

Same argument. The answer being that I might need to use the NHS
tomorrow,

And if you have a heart attack tomorrow and can't find your credit
cards, are you prepared to pay the ultimate price and die for your
principle? I think not.
