So this is just a farce to say they did tell us?

Wow, I'm so glad I'm not in a country where we do things the boring, old-fashioned proper way around, you know, by having public hearings before spending billions on "upgrading" the roads and building a whole system of toll gates... Way to go against the flow there!

Liez!! REvolutionary. Like making babies.

Yup, they'll listen to the public... and then do exactly what they were planning on doing anyway.

And then punish the "whingeing whiteys" by adding even more on the already steep price...

I'm sending a fax in anycase.

I'm sending a fax in anycase.

I'm sending an email with my pay slip attached. Telling them to work it out themselves..

This whole "consultation" thing is a farce. Everyone is getting thoroughly "consulted" on everything and then the points raised get ignored.

Na, its easier to say "EISH SOREEE (for you)" than it is to get agreement.

Don't expect them to know how to use a calculator! Work it out for themselves, indeed. They won't. They will impose whatever fees they please. They are the arrogant people "in charge" and they will do as they please anyway. I think 12c per km is fair. Anything above this is a rip-off.

Democracy my brothers, democracy. We let you vote right? That counts.....just not the way it should.
