Road pricing will see a rise in costs for no benefit, <BR/>people will move home, forcing the low paid into ghettos of high congestion <BR/>and road pricing areas whilst the rich will be able to enjoy the benefits of <BR/>increased unemployment and a lowering of customer services due to being <BR/>served by more cheap and mobile migrant workers. <BR/><BR/>Road pricing will bring about the social upheaval that The Friends Of The <BR/>Earth seek and the lower paid and working classes will pay the price for <BR/>academic meddling. <BR/><BR/>Re nationalizing the railways to escape the profit motive and allowing more <BR/>parking spaces and free public transport from a publicly owned transport <BR/>system is the way forward. <BR/><BR/>1.8 Million people have said No to road pricing it is unacceptable and The <BR/>Car Party has been formed to represent the majority motorist view. <BR/><BR/>Perhaps those who advocate such a scheme would prefer a means tested system <BR/>where only those earning say £30,000 plus should be allowed to own a car. <BR/><BR/>Should you wish to know more please call me on 01746 862293Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
