    Believe it or not there really are decent people struggleing to make ends meet in Britain today and this type of thing will just push them into the 'why do I bother?' camp and onto the rock and roll.

    If I couldn't work as a contractor I seriously don’t think I'd bother at all, just sell stuff on fleebay do the odd private job and claim till the cows came home, that's the real state of Britain today.

    Strategically placed GPS jamers working intermittently will screw the system up.

    I think drivers of SUVs ought to subsidize the road fund license, insurance and the installation of these tracking boxes for the poor hard working families. It is only fair after all.

    Can you forward the fanny tightening kit emails to me please. (I need to add the addresses to my firewall list). Humm. Back to work now.

    I won't pretend to have read the email all the way to the bottom (I do have some work to do), but I seem to remember that when I got trained in dealing with conflict, the first thing you were supposed to do was acknowledge the other parties concerns.

    Couldn't see anything in there that read "I hear your worries, and understand why you don't like it".

    Whoever drafted this for ole TB was clearly a muppet.

    The odd thing is, I'm a bit of a fan of congestion charging. I see it as an excellent way of helping to keep poor people off the road.

    Advertising for Labour only?

    Do the email adresses get provided to all parties? Or are the petitions designed as a direct advertising schem for Labour only, to give them an unfair advantage in the next election?
