NO CONGESTION CHARGES...

Congestion charging in Northern Ireland's towns and cities would be welcomed by many business leaders, a survey has found. The Institute of Directors survey examined attitudes to transport infrastructure and congestion. Of those surveyed, 44% said they would be happy with congestion charging. Well bully for them and I am so happy that they want to pay more road tax but I say NO to these charges.

It's funny how these things are pitched by the messenger. Let's revert to the usual BBC:
Congestion charging in Northern Ireland's towns and cities would be welcomed by many gouty white men in BMWs, a survey has found.

Of the fat-cat businessmen surveyed, 44% said they would be happy with pricing the poor off the roads.
That's better.
Bollocks to them in their chauffeur driven limos.
It sucks and it's a stealth tax that hits the poor hardest.
Livingstone should be stretched across the junction at Holborn medieval style and then run over a dozen times til he becomes part of the tarmac for unleashing this stupid idea on GB and NI.
Quite right Pete and Alison.
I support more congestion charges in buzy urban areas and higher charges. Most people don't need their cars in the cities and should be priced into using public transport.
