It was 70/30 in favour of the treehuggers.
It's now 57/43 in favour of tax cuts.

Well - we all WANT tax cuts, but economics doesn't just allow what we want and I'd love to hug a tree, but I've got a car to play with

Of all the green groups FOE are basically just nimbys --- take as an example the fact they are the only green group who have blocked the breaking of ships in a specially made dry dock in Sunderland. One assumes they would rather see them run on to beach in India and brocken up by hand by people forced to work for a few ruppees a week without any regard to safety or the pollution caused.

I'm not a NIMBY, I've got a car and a tree in My Back Yard - and I like to hug them both.

Just voted for fuel tax cuts - now 60:40 in my favour

I had some trees in my back garden which i dug up to make way for my conservatory. I have a couple of bushes and shrubs and 3 and a half cars.

What does that make me?#

there was 15 trees in our back garden when we moved here roughly 18 years ago. a few of them went when i was a kid due to me climbing them and giving my folks a heart attack daily, the rest of them have gone over recent years to clear the land for the new garage to house cars

as for investing more in public transport, could throw billions into it and it'd still be just as poo as it is now.

i like trees, they decompose under pressure into coal and Oil

70/30 in favour of tax cuts now

I have one tree, two and roughly two thirds cars, and a wife. I'd rather hug the wife, burn the tree and get the two thirds car finished, before they stick more b****y tax on petrol.

I've got 3 cars - I rarely use them!

If all the lazy boostards round here used their legs or their bicycles instead of drivng their molly-coddled kids a couple of hundred yards to school or walked to get their newspapers, the amount of pollution, noise and danger would fall rapidly.

In fact, all those mummies could cancel their gym memberships and save a load of time too.

Bicycles are fun! I beat a Rover 75 V8 around the ring road the other day. You can scare yourself witless without feeling the long arm of the law.

As a nation, we are bloody lazy. Everyone's got an excuse. But they're just lazy really.

Roads should be kept clear, so that powersliders can take to them in peace. Why should I want to see Focus's and Astra's nose to tail? Bring on the fun-motors for our sensory pleasure.
