Question WHY DO WE PAY ROAD TAX

I was out early this Morning.

Roads were quiet & wet.

Going through a few B Roads, bang!

Every so often potholes everywhere.

Came back on the A Roads and I noticed just as bad.

Then popped on the Motorway, and a couple of potholes there as well.

Admittedly on the Motorway they were filled in but not very well.

Then on the inside lane I noticed "Railway Lines"

I think it's where the big Trucks using the Road, their weight makes grooves.

After the shock I have had with that t**t Alastair Darling putting up the ROAD TAX to over £400, (ACTUALLY IT WAS GORDON DARLING THAT PUT IT UP. ALASTAIR DARLING WAS DOING WHAT HE WAS TOLD).



Regards

I got to thinking.

Why call it Road Tax, clearly JACK S**T is being spent on the maintainence of the Roads.

Or is it just me???

we dont, the AA or RAC put a big thing forward about the money from road tax not going on the roads and actually funding the government and so LABOUR looking into the situation and agreed,,,,,,,,,,,, so renamed it car excise licence and now it nothing to do with paying for the roads but a tax for OWNING A CAR

glad they solved that isssue !!!

Oh, that's OK then, as long as it's for uneducated spongers to breed more kids on the state then I don't mind paying the £400 PA

So what next??

We've all agreed that we are having large objects shoved up our Dungfunnels & having the Wee Wee taken from us by the Darling Things.

Yer can't protest.

If your a Lorry Diver, you need an Operators License.

The Darlings have passed a Law.

Blockade the Oil Refinery's & we will take your Operators License away from you so, you can't earn a living , Lorry Driver Scum.

Scooby (And Housewife's taking Kids to School) Drivers, go 1 MPH above the "Rigged Speed Limits" we will do you.

However, If you want to come into our Country on the back of a Lorry illegally, we love you. (Co we let you in, yer gonna vote for us

WE really don't like the Brits (the MUGS who pay "ROAD TAX" etc).


Come on down.

We'll feed you, clothe you, Educate yer offspring, give you a House.

OH and by the way, if you do get stopped in yer unregistered Car, Uninsured, No MoT'D etc, we'll pay ( Or rather we will) for an Interpretor to represent you in Court.


No matter he outcome, you'll still keep yer House & all yer benefits, cos we love you.

So fellow Scooby Drivers, dig deeper & Deeper into yer pockets, we are gonna pay for more, Oh I nearly forgot, Iraq, Afghanistan costs Road Tax (Excise License) too.

Sorry, that's how I see it.


I'm still entitled to an opinion till they have my DNA for speeding.

Regards

As "voters" we got to vote them in, so can't we get them out with a vote of no confidence (sp)? or do we have to wait until an election?
