LA Green Party member Darren Johnson said: "It is right that polluting cars should pay more for parking and greener cars pay less."However, these big cars mustn't be allowed to ride up over the kerb and into front gardens as a way of escaping the local parking fee. All councils should be using their existing powers to restrict parking in front gardens."
I am certainly getting fed up with being called an environmental terrorist, a demonic driver and all the other cr*p this lot come out with...... etc
Have any of you good folks read a book called The Aachen Memorandum? I read it a few months ago and found it quite startling. It is set in the not to distant future, 2045 I think where the UK no longer exists, but is divided into 'Regions' within a 'United States of Europe', where the USA is seen as the bad country. The Royal Family no longer exists, although there is King William 1st of New Zealand. All drugs have been legalised, and there are two types of Olympics, one for steroids and one without. There is a bridge over the Channel. All cars are environmentally sound, and only the 'Authorities' are allowed fossil fuel cars. Napolean and Hitler are seen as the Great European thinkers, because they wanted a United Europe. Waterloo Station has been re-named Jaques Delour Station. Football is still played, but in a non-competative way. The singing of any National anthem is frowned upon, but is sung as a sign of the growing discontent of the 'masses' I think you can see where I coming from on this. It may be a work of fiction, but it is quite scary. Check it out. How to resolve the issue of the anti 4x4 lobby? Not a clue. But I am certainly getting fed up with being called an environmental terrorist, a demonic driver and all the other cr*p this lot come out with. Does Margeret Beckett get all this grief from her fellow MP's when she tows her caravan with her Range Rover? I think not. I do not in any way advocate breaking the law, but we should encourage everyone we can to vote to get this high handed, self opinionated group of cotton wool wrapped hypocrits (correct spelling?) out of power. Is it any wonder that people are leaving this country in droves? Freedom of thought and speech? MY A**E!_________________My apologies if you have already read this post on the DOC forum.

I did the test, and I "owe" £19.33. I use approx 1500 litres, and £1350 of fuel a year. That £19.33 is 1.432% of my yearly usage. On 1 litre (90p) that's 1.35pI am sure the Government could afford 1p from every litre of fuel, or even if we added 1p to the price, but it meant we were ALL doing our bit, and the Government looks like it's trying to make the country CO2 Neutral. Every driver automatically pays for it when they fill up, so there is no opt-in opt-out option, and everyone benefits.What's the point of all the low mileage 4x4 drivers who are willing to become CO2 neutral subscribing to this, when the high mileage petrol heads in their Jags, Subaru's, BMW's etc. don't give a toss?This is assuming of course this is not just another way to get money out of guilty drivers. :twisted: Just my thoughts.Horness
my disco produces .7 of a tonne...im goin gto pay it and get a huge sticker.......something like "im carbon neutral so kiss my butt greepeace."
i dont see anywhere in that article that it points the finger at 4x4s, it just says gaz guzzlers. and it uses the renault espace as an example of a band G vehicle.
