    Mile after mile of empty UK roads. No congestion, no traffic jams. Just cruise into work.

    This is what New Liebore are going to bring to us. It's sounds fantastic.

    Auto express show the government plans for tax increases:

    Fuel tax will rise to make a litre 127p
    Road tax £5,000
    New car purchase tax
    Compulsory scrapping of all care over 10 yrs old (see above). Goodbye classic cars.
    All cities to charge £25 CC
    Road pricing £1.50 per mile (now that will cost some people £30,000 per year)
    Resident parking £450
    Compulsory car sharing

    Great news for those contractors on £2000/day as they will be the only car users in the country.
    Bring back the C5!!!!!...Ermmmm actually on second thoughts.....

    Age old New Liebour tactic. Announce completely over the top draconian measures, let the newpaper editorials wet themselves over it for a few days, then announce about half of the proposals will be going ahead with half dropped after a "period of consultation". The hard of thinking breathe a sigh of relief that it's not as bad as they thought it was going to be.

    Since when did voting help?
