From BBC HYS: This has nothing whatsoever to do with congestion. There will be no reduction in traffic because 99.9% of people will still need to drive a car. They'll simply just pay more for it, and NuLabour are very aware of this because they have done nothing to improve or introduce any alternatives.
The principal aims of this absolute travesty are:
1. Increase revenue
2. Track movement of the law obiding populace
3. Create more admin jobs
4. £billions Contracts for their friends' companies

Spot on.Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave JohnsonComment

The race to the bottom continues. The shift of tax away from labour to consumption is now underway. As the global pool of labour expands the value of human work shrinks and is not worth taxing.Comment

If I could drive to work (I have no other alternative) and the roads were comparable to the level of traffic in the summer school holidays I would be happy to pay a few quid a day, but they won’t be so why should I pay? Or is working beyond walking distance an outrageous luxury as well?Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous?

If you can afford to work a long distance from home then keep paying. I don't know what you're complaining about. Do you want some kind of special allowance because you travel a long way to work? I don't think it would be very popular among people who pay huge rents to live in cramped conditions in town if people like you living in massive houses in the countryside for less money were also getting a discount on their travel costs.Comment
