People's Verdict - Bollocks to Road Pricing!

[Officer Dibble]

I've just been perusing the road pricing petition story and, as during the petrol crisis, it seems the British people are rediscovering their backbones and saying bollocks to the government's sinister road pricing plans. There has been an unprecedented response to the petition. Well over a million aggrieved citizens have now singed the document, sending a message loud and clear to the public sector and government - "Fuck off yer poncy, elitist, twats! We ain't gonna stand for your shitty middle-class road pricing and citizen monitoring plans. You'd better leave it out or we'll twat you at the ballot box! So, go on - piss off and catch the fucking bus yourselves if your so twating concerned about congestion...What's up? To posh to catch a bus to that Islington dinner party? Don't fancy a marathon coach ride down to Tuscany? Don't feel like bicycling to that meeting with Nelson? Oh, but it's alright for ordinary folks, eh?...I see."

Some twatish NuLabour minister has now said that it was a mistake allowing the people to have a say in the running of their country, because they aren't choosing the right option - the statist, big brother, option that is the agenda of NuLabour. Ha! What appalling arrogant fuckers they are. It just shows you that they don't have the interests of ordinary people at heart. All they are concerned with are their own idiotic social engineering schemes harnessing the power of the state to stop people doing what they like doing, and only doing the middle-class approved things espoused by the Labour party. So, fuck 'em. Below are links to the story and the petition website. If you value your freedom you must act now and sign up. Tell 'em to shove it before it's too late.

50,000 signatures gets you the 'Dangerous Pictures Act'.

1,306,259 signatures at the time of this post doesn't stop PAYG Road Tax.

These petitions are meaningless, policy is policy and fuck you all!!!

Let's also not forget either that all the fat-cat, lardy-arsed politicians who are backing this "pay-per-mile" scheme don't live in the real world with the rest of us.

At present they all enjoy generous travel expense accounts and, in the case of Ministers, chauffeur-driven limos (all furnished by the taxpayer of course), so what do THEY care about how much it costs to get from A to B?

And of course once they're out of office, they'll be living off the extremely generous, copper-bottomed pensions that they've guaranteed themselves thanks to the unprecedented levels of cross-party consensus that invariably arise in Parliament when such things are up for debate in those hallowed chambers. Pensions which, I might add, the likes of we plebs would have to work the equivalent of, on average, around 200 years in order to qualify for.

And that's just your ordinary MPs. Because in addition to their pensions, ex-Ministers will also be trousering several grand a pop to give after-dinner speeches on the lecture circuit, and / or coiling it in from non-executive directorships and "consultancies" at city-listed companies, merchant banks etc.

All of which means that they can be comfortable in the knowledge that once they leave Parliament and / or retire and are no longer enjoying their current taxpayer-funded perks, they'll still have an income and standard of living that most ordinary hard-working folk can only dream about and will thus be among the elite minority who won't have been priced off the roads.

So will THEY be "taking the bus" or "catching the train" for the benefit of the planet, as they're constantly extolling the rest of us to do? Will they fuck.

And of course the same will apply to the next crop of politicians who will in turn be free to dream up new ways of milking the public, safe in the knowledge that their "revolutionary" revenue-raising ideas will have little to no effect on them personally.

No - the whole thing stinks big-time, so hopefully it'll encounter the same level of opposition that the grocer's daughter's "Poll Tax" did back in 1990.

I bought this to the attention of Begafuds a few days ago when it was at 750,000, - I signed.

My point is my and your signature is fucking useless. In this 'democracy' NewSlaveLabour will do what it wants and not what the people want. The Liz Longhurst petition for example, with just 50,000 signatures will be bought into Law and you'll get three years inside with an entry onto the SOR for simply looking at a picture of your wife playing a BDSM game with you quite consensually.

And then we get this one 1,385,091 at last count and the Government decide that the petitions site, because the people are telling the Government to fuck off, is an own-goal thought up by a "prat" and is proving a public relations disaster so no need to listen to it. Whilst the Liz Longhursts will be listened to because they are with NewSlaveLabour policy and makes it easier for them to introdue more 'control measures' and 'criminal acts'.

There's democracy in action for you - NewSlaveLabour don't want the public to tell them how to govern and yet that is exactly what democracy is - government by the people or by their elected representatives, unless of course I start a petition for the current 'Supreme Being' to be installed in Number 10 on a permanent basis.

I will happily pay ?1.50 per mile, as long as there are no road works, traffic jams, trucks, cunts driving volvo,s, cars over 10years old, drivers under 25,and piss stained pensioners with caps driving at 20mph in a deristricted zone, Oh! and loose the speed cameras as well.
Not a lot to ask is it?

Our "Tone" takes no bloody notice..... just does what he thinks is good for us.

I believe there were a fair number of people against the Iraq II invasion. Look how much notice was taken of that.

This nightmare just keeps on going.
And going to get even more horrific when "Mr Africa" gets control.

Things can only get better..... but when.

Ha ha Dibble, you're the tabloid master.

This petition was promoted heavily by the Daily Mail. Call it the "people's verdict" if you like...

Given that up to 2 million people marched against the Iraq war in London and Glasgow - that's right, they actually got off their arses and protested - 2 million in an online petition orchestrated by the Mail doesn't mean very much...

Add to that, the government haven't actually published their pricing plans yet, so the people signing the petition didn't know what they were opposing! !laugh!

I'm not opposed to road pricing per se, what I'm opposed to is the Big Brother "Spy in the Car" that will allow "someone" to know where I drove, at what time and using what route and at what speed.

I try and keep my driving to a minimum, preferring to walk everyday to the shops and get what I need for the day rather than drive once a week and fill up the boot. I try and avoid driving into London as much as I can, but I have to say that when the schools are on holiday, journeys from my home into central London are about 50% quicker.

If road pricing stops the school run then I'm all for it. Certain roads near me are impassable at times because of double and triple parked Shoguns, Discoveries and Grand Cherokees.
