BBC free licence?

More and more people are realising that a) you can watch TV without a TV and b) then you don't need a TV licence.
Too right. its about time it was free for all. Why should the BBC exist paid for out of a house tax? Sky, ITV are commercial. The BBC should be privatised. Why should people in the 21st Century have Entertainment on Benefits? Entertainment is NOT a social service or necessity HMG. £32 billion pounds could be used to help the NHS?
Yes - provide some public service broadcasting but that can be out of general taxations.

Anti-social Scooter riders?

I do fear not being mobile. Living in a rural county where public transport is next to non-existent I worry that I ever won't be able to drive, but these folk on their Mobility Scooters!!

Have you seen them? They are 3 categories 

1. Fat Folk - who are just too heavy to walk - get OFF your scooter and get some exercise.,
2. old dodderers - genuine frail old folk who need to get about and would not be able to use a car.
3. oldish dodderers - who are the above but when they get a mobility scooter every one else becomes in visible!

They drive around with no thought to crashing in to people, leave countless accidents in their wake!

Yes this council/police are  right they must be made responsible. There are laws and regulations and they should be enforced.

Osborne to scrap fuel duty rise?

Here we go again - Fuel Duty to rise? - lets face it we all know the oil is running out. We're killing the planet burning it but like any addict we can't stop.

Is the Government wrong  We say "it won't make any difference, I'll keep my car going and my bit won't matter." Well I suppose it does.

Now another thing - suppose we all switch to electric cars, what will the Government do then? All that duty lost. We're not buying any petrol or diesel.

WRONG - they'll make it up. Road tax on electric cars is going to rise, then they'll charge us by the mile to use the roads. Its a WIN WIN for the Government.

Just Grit your teeth and pay, or don't travel, live near your work. It used to be like that, I'm just old enough to remember.
