Seems Mikey Coward wants to make a little ground on Brown.

There are some mutterings of discontent, and hints of more "action" to bitch about the cost of petrol. The simple fact is Joe public in this country is getting screwed by not only our current political masters, but have been shafted by previous governments too, not only with "hidden"
taxes on petrol (direct or indirect). But on a variety of other goods/services as well. Everyone bitches and applauds, then when YOU dont have any petrol in your car/bike, or yer granny cant get to hospital for her 2 year overdue hip replacement everyone caves in and allows the tossers controlling this country to walk all over you. (In my stride standing on soap-box) VAT bold as hell, not hidden, no one bitches about it. How many times should u have to pay tax on goods. How many MP's do we need.

MP's, MEP, Scottish MP Welsh MP oh and stuff it we will be different in Northern Ireland, we cannot trust them to be adults and control their own destiny. Oh and while were on the subject, WAGE RISES I fancy a wage rise, (no chance) but first thing any of these twats do when they are voted in, you betcha lets talk/vote on how much were worth while we shaft everyone else. Damn nerve, who moans NO-ONE. Poll Tax/ Council Tax, wouldnt mind paying it If I thought I was getting good quality service from our local Council. Are we??? What do u think My local councillor is a class one Tossbag, speedbumps, humps bollards fencing, anything to stop YOU driving your car on the roads YOU pay for, did they ask your opinion, Hell nooooooo.
Great Britain, dont make me laugh, until some bolshie people stand up to be counted in this country, or tell our elected officials to take it and shove it where the sun dont shine, we the meek will inherit
more taxation, more lying bastards bullshitting us on weapons of mass destruction, (ask the family of some of our dead servicemen if they think it was worth it). And more tossers and jobsworth telling me how to lead MY life, in OUR community.
Rant over
Shug.

Top rant dude

Side-tracking slightly, 'Great Britain' is only great insomuch as we're larger greater than the French region we're named after; to wit: Brittany.

I enjoyed your rant Shug, I had a not-too-dissimilar one recently when on my post-Grad course and was surrounded by a bunch of do-gooding-wishy-washy-what's the-current-politically-correct-term-to-use-today simpering windbags.

They said it was a free country and off I went. Happily the lecturer agreed with me but I then started suggesting we perhaps ought to try a Machievallian mildly corrupt dictatorship for fun. She went purple.

Cheers,

Neil.

fast forward to 2010

"they came for the 4x4 drivers first, I didn't drive a 4x4 so I said nothing.

then they came for the sport car drivers
i said nothing as i didn't drive a sports car.

then they came for me, there was nobody left to say anything for me "

is there anyehere us locosters can live? ie cheap fuel,no sva,scrap yards full of perfectly preserved mk2 escorts and where wives are only intressted in your latest car


stephen_gusterson - 3/6/04 at 01:31 PM

on my local radio station they are talking about the government making contingency plans.

these include

lowering speed limits

banning driving of cars outright

lowering public transport fares

what the fooking hell!!!!!

how long does the govenrment think they are gonna last if no one can travel or get to work, and why reduce fares if thats the only way to travel!!!!!!!


I was 14 when ted heath was fooked by the 3 day week. If blair gets himself into a car banning situation, hes' gonna be so politically dead.


remeber with the euro elections, you have a protest vote...... your bananas and stuff is gonna get regulated by some belgian anyway, so its not much of a waste and it might get the government to wake up.
