Another tax on top of RFL and fuel duty.
I vote NO, NO, NO!
But hey, i'm voting NO on this thing anywho.
Just thought i'd show that the NO campaign makes stuff up awsell as the YES :P
I've made nothing up other than the scenario (and that's based loosely on reality).
The charge ISN'T for driving into the city - it is for driving TOWARDS the city (in the AM)
Jill works in Bury and lives in Prestwich, which means she has to cross the outer charging ring on the way home from work, even though the jams don't start that far out.
She is punished with a fee because public transport doesn't provide for her.
Now we've just got to hope that enough people see the sense in voting NO and put this ill-conceived congestion charging bid behind us.
The question to ask then will be, how do we get the public transport improvements that we need (and I do believe we need them) without resorting to charging those who don't use the system for safety, practicality or any other reasons - and without giving £3billion of free money to First, Stagecoach, Serco and so on.
The Yes campaign miss the point about investment entirely.
This investment is long-overdue ALREADY. Charging people to use their cars in exchange for a commitment to invest in publice transport is nothing short of blackmail.
People are seeing through the lies and spin though.
Vote NO... I have.
I'm voting NO...
...taking it to Bury in person, I don't trust the post, they delivered my ballot to next door!
He has got to be the most cack-handed arsonist in Manchester (with far too much time on his hands.)
He has had so much ridicule and abuse that he disabled comments on his video...
Aw diddums!! Are the No campaign winning the argument?
Clearly they are.
Thanks for the post there LB.
The cack-handed arsonist part gave me a good laugh.
No...
...no...
NO!!!!!
Just a few more days until we find out if common sense prevails - or if the mountains of money spent by First and Stagecoach advertising for a "YES" on billboards, full page ads and teams of people handing out propaganda - just so they get a PILE of free money.
NO!!!
