They can't have it all ways though. It's either VED or Tolls, not both. I am sure France has tolls but no VED. I could be wrong.
I would not put it past this greedy lot to try to con us with the tolls and tax. Surely a mutiny is on the cards, they can't keep on taking and taking without something snapping

add to that, they will be contorted in every possible way to reflect the publishers best interests.

then the opposition can spend all there time beleittleing (sp, for all the fannies lol) them, ripping them to shreds instead of actually working to make the country run better/more efficiently
