The fascists in power want to control everything we do and the fact that our cars give is independence of movement annoys them, Hence the taxes, the curtailments, the prosecution. This government will not fight a war against Islamic terrorists but it gladly will take on the motorist.David Vancehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09148286371942335280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34993014.post-66359154060426168952009-04-21T15:51:00.000+01:002009-04-21T15:51:00.000+01:00"What I find so annoying about this is that the go..."What I find so annoying about this is that the government are effectively punishing everyone for the sins of the few."<br /><br />That's what annoys me about this government.
