Edinburgh "Congestion" Charge Darlings tax ploy

I'm not the one raving on and on about the unfairness of congestion charging. And I live close to the area. And am happy to pay it on the odd occasion where I *really* need to take my car there - rather than use the very efficient public transport, which also happens to be faster for near every journey than a car. Of course, I'm not worried about travelling with my fellow Londoners in a bus, tube or train. I leave that fear to others who for some reason are scared to try it.

Right of way 5160
and the car coming from the other direction would have to drive on the wrong...

To me, it's about what the residents want. And those residents include most businesses in the area.

Mad Ken? Have you ever met him? Seems like a very sane person to me. Oh - and presumably to all those who voted him in again - despite the best efforts of the Tory press.

So you want to relieve congestion in cities without demolishing all those buildings and parks etc that make either them a pleasant place to work in or visit, and replace them with roads and car parks? Makes you Mad JNugnet? Or do you have some magical answer?

Oh, I have. You don't live here and are only making some looney point, since the 'proof of the pudding' is already clear.

Hysterical bollocks. Even before the Kengestion charge I've never had to spend all day in a traffic jam in London. Nor...

Right. So the City of London is nearing bankruptcy due to the congestion charge?

Difficult for who? I live here - you don't. And I - and my fellow residents are happy. Why should I care if it makes things 'difficult' for you? Others in your position - ie, visitors to London for whatever reason seem to manage OK - so perhaps you need to think on?

I'd suggest you try de-tox. Sharpens the brain, I'm told. And dear gawd, you need to.
