    And perhaps this Government might like to consider scrapping ID cards, which will be costly, un-necessary, and looking at the IT Companies involved, a total shambles. Or not doing the crazy road pricing (GB may have announced it is scrapped, but work goes on quietly) - Huge set-up and running costs, evaded by unregistered/ overseas cars, and will mean cars avoid Motorways. Or scrapping wasteful PFI, the Government equivalent of paying off a mortgage with a credit card. Never mind sacking Civil Servants, get rid of the Consultants, pointless overpaid leeches. Stop contracting out, we pay more for a worse service.
    As oil is slowly running out, the Government need to shift taxation away from motorists, as that income stream will eventually dry up. Or maybe invest the revenues in providing cheap alternative transport, so that it is green, and not just wasted on the usual NuLabour carp. Still, with oil running out, and our Gas and Leccy getting ever dearer, (Dodgy suppliers, and another 'benefit' of Privatisation) isn't it a pity that the UK doesn't have heaps of coal underneath it!
    Love and peace to all, except Politicians, and I hope I get detained for 42 days and not charged as £42,000 would come in very handy.
