I totally agree! on TalkRadio this morning there was a debate about
this new toll road and most callers supported it! I thought you bunch
of morons! Only a small amount of the road tax we pay gets spent on
the roads, the rest is stolen and wasted by other government
departments. There lies the ****ing problem! why on earth anybody
thinks we should have to pay an extra tax to use a new road that
should ALREADY be funded by our road tax I do not know.


I suppose you advocate everyone ****ting in the garden because the

local
water authority isn't spending enough on the sewers?
And would you advocate widespread proliferation of road building,both
private and public simply becuase the Government refuses to construct
and facilitate integrated public transport systems but instead merely
pays lip service because they know that as long as cars are on the
road,they have a universal cash cow to milk.


If the govt didn't steal so much of our road tax money and local

councils
weren't so obsessed with purposely causing congestion we'd have perfect
roads and wouldn't need to build any new ones.


Ah, tunnel vision is a wonderful means to avoid the realities of
life.....


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.

Morning Jonny, It is to try to drive folk onto buses and trains ( not necc a
bad thing if the ran on time and went where folk wanted them to go) IE round
here they have made the communter routes and the school run routes as slow
and difficult as poss by resetting the traffic lights , altering junctions
etc, but then they offset this by crerating fast clean empty bus only routes
into the town etc.

So they can be seen to be doing something, so they can say "Look, traffic is
really bad, something must be done to control it".

IMO, anyone who willingly goes into any form of politics - local council up
to the Government, and possibly even the UN (complete with its reptilian
shadow government!) do it because they are control freaks. They like to
control people.

Causing congestion controls people. It forces people to do what _they_ want
them to do. The congestion causes problems, so something must be done about
it (congestion charge in London), giving _more_ control.
