Outside the UK, or in the governments pockets to "Feather their own nests." Rubbish isn't it!

While it is crap everyone knows that it all goes around i.e. the amount spent on the health service WAY WAY outstrips the amount we put in through national health contributions.

Which would be fine if the government said it was spend there rather than saying drivers have to pay for congestion, upkeep of the road, polution at an ever increasing rate.

 

NI is supposed to pay for health service, IE everyone should pay it. Drivers should not have to subsidise things not related to roads, public transport.

 

When evryone gets pushed onto bikes who is paying for cycle lanes, roads, AN Other then??

 

Sigh!
