Rip-off Britain

[jbuckl]

Its a rip off I agree.
We already pay Tax to use the roads and then pay tax again to buy the fuel. There is no justification for congestion charges or toll roads if the roads and towns are "public" Its different if the roads are privately owned or funded.

UK publically owned infrastructure has been privatised though. (Increased competition was the justification) what a roaring sucess

I think it was Capita, not Cap Gem who implemented it. It has now been transferred to IBM.

Ah yes you may be right. I have got those two muddled up before I think
