Road tax has never even been enough to cover the building and maintenance of roads and more money for this has always been obtained through other government monies.
I disagree with VED myself, but I know what it is. Starting a huge rant about it and then using it to show that the whole country has effectively gone to the dogs is just incoherent, and on that subject, when did we have a backbone?
Back in the days of Churchill perhaps? Here's a direct quote from him arguing that Road Tax purely funding roads should be abolished:
"Entertainments may be taxed; public houses may be taxed...and the yield devoted to the general revenue. But motorists are to be privileged for all time to have the tax on motors devoted to roads? This is an outrage upon...common sense."
Everyone has the right to voice their opinions, but an opinion expressed out of hand that demonstrates a clear lack of knowledge on the subject even after a quick google can also be dismissed out of hand, and that's just what people are doing when they see you complain about a near-century old for of taxation which has roots in the 1800s and use it to explain why nobody should vote for a certain party, including chemtrails (which I had to look up because it is so obscure and lacking in evidence that it is never promoted).

It starts at the top, above the puppet leaders obama/cameron etc, our attitudes, beliefs and culture is eroded away bit by bit, right from child education and through controlled media. Over generations these small changes become the norm.
Ha ha me and stan the new coalition, little and large! We would now be labelled as racist and extreme right wing but one or two generations ago we would be seen as in the middle and speaking common sense. How things change..

I don't have a problem with road tax in general. I do have a problem with uk roads and road tax costing more for cars with lower mpg as this is already payed for in fuel. Its exactly the same with income tax, then savings tax and inheritance tax... You presume a lot. I presume you wear skinny jeans either to express your sexuality or fit in with the crowd.
