Exclamation ROAD PRICING PROTEST - MARCH 10TH

A few PH's are getting some ideas out about a protest against the proposed road charging plans....

This thread could be one to keep an eye on, could be worth our support.

Lets pass it onto other forums too....

Sorry but I can not see how using public transport will overload the system and cause it to break, there are only a limited number of seats on a bus or trains. So if there are more people than spaces then it will be tough on those who can't get onboard and if you all force yourselves on so that the driver refuses to drive the police will get involved and you will all be kicked off by them, plus do you really think any of this will get back to the government anyway? you will not be able to collapse the infrastructure no matter how hard you try.

However if you manage to overload a bus and the driver refuses to move and the police do get involved in as many places as possible then you wil have successfully pissed of the police and all the legitimate passengers, but may get a mention on the news or summat. either way it will not make one iota of differnece to the Gov

Could this be turned into Labour's "poll tax"?

Toll tax riots, anyone?

I've forwarded the link on to the BNP and the National Islamic Association Jihad Committee. The more the merrier.

What we need is a good riot... Firebombing the innocent, beating up the police etc...
LOL @ clogging up public transport... That will just give the government more gusto than before to "improve" public transport...
Still I'll keep an eye on when this slightly silly idea is to take place so I can stay at home and laugh at all the participants...
