Yes - City parking charges should be Sky High! However, there should be decent public transport to get in and out.
For example ParknRides strategically pplaced around for you to get in and out. Trains coming in and out regularly.
Lets face it you're not going get trains and buses going to every little village. You need an INTEGRATED TRANSPORT SYSTEM. SO I drive in from XXmiles outside and get to a train station, there I park and get the fast frequent train into the city and vice versa.
Simples - as they say.
One last thing - free (or at least very cheap parking) allowed in cities for Electric cars. Coupled with Charging points so while you work your car charges. Finally cycle ways so cyclists can get around in safety, and all buildings having safe secure Bike Garages.
There 21st century transport solved. Monty's way.

The Creed in Latin
Today I want you to look at this.
CREDO in unum Deum, Patrem omnipotentem, factorem caeli et terrae, visibilium omnium et invisibilium.
I believe in one God, the Father almighty, maker of heaven and earth, of all things visible and invisible.
Et in unum Dominum Iesum Christum, Filium Dei **unigenitum, ex Patre natum ante omnia saecula. Deum de Deo, Lumen de Lumine, Deum verum de Deo vero, genitum non factum, consubstantialem Patri; per quem omnia facta sunt.
And in one Lord, Jesus Christ, the only begotten Son of God, born of the Father before all ages. God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God, begotten, not made, one in being with the Father; through Whom all things were made.
Qui propter nos homines et propter nostram salutem descendit de caelis. Et incarnatus est de Spiritu Sancto ex Maria Virgine, et homo factus est.
Who for us men and for our salvation came down from heaven. And he was made flesh by the Holy Spirit from the Virgin Mary, and was made man.
Crucifixus etiam pro nobis sub Pontio Pilato, passus et sepultus est, et resurrexit tertia die, secundum Scripturas, et ascendit in caelum, sedet ad dexteram Patris.
He was crucified for us under Pontius Pilate; suffered, and was buried. On the third day He rose again according to the Scriptures; He ascended into heaven and sits at the right hand of the Father.
Et iterum venturus est cum gloria, iudicare vivoset mortuos, cuius regni non erit finis.
And He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead, and of His kingdom there shall be no end.
Et in Spiritum Sanctum, Dominum et vivificantem, qui ex Patre Filioque procedit.
And in the Holy Spirit, the Lord and giver of Life, Who proceeds from the Father and the Son.
Qui cum Patre et Filio simul adoratur et conglorificatur: qui locutus est per prophetas.
Who, with the Father and the Son, is adored and glorified: Who has spoken through the Prophets.
Et unam, sanctam, catholicam et apostolicam Ecclesiam.
And (I believe in) one holy, catholic and apostolic Church.
Confiteor unum baptisma in remissionem peccatorum. Et expecto resurrectionem mortuorum, et vitam venturi saeculi. Amen.
I confess one baptism for the remission of sins. And I look for the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the age to come. Amen.

Sexualisation of Children
Yes I agree we are pushing them too far. But I also think "What's new?".
I blame the Parents. They should educate their children, and watch what they are letting them do.
I know - my kids told me their friends had DVDs/Computer games that were not suitable for their age group. Where had they got them from?
Also they let them have a TV/DVD recorder/sky/Computer/Playstation etc. etc. in their bedrooms etc. do they know what they're upto?
Yes I agree you shold be able to trust TV before 9pm but you can't. I've seen objectionable materila broadcast well before 9pm The Soaps are worst - what souless programs - are they really suitable for 7 year olds. How can they understand what's going on let alone the swearing and violence etc.
I despair.
