N. Greens are the new red: What does it mean
Clearly the unrepresentative greens have seized too much of the agenda and for those of us with
more important and urgent issues to worry about, such as immigration, law and order, and knife and
gun crime, they are dictating social and taxation policy. That’s why I believe that green has become
the new red. It’s just a new way of screwing more and more money out of us who are working and
already contributing to British society. If you don’t believe me let’s have another fact: did you know
that the environmental costs associated with motoring are less than £6 billion a year So again, if
you deduct that £6 billion from the £48 billion we are all paying you can still see there is massive
inbalance and that motorists are clearly paying through the nose for other public spending
initiatives that have nothing to do with motoring or motorists.
I might not even mind this rip-off if I actually thought that green issues were as high up on the
political agenda of most ordinary Brits as pompous politicians and of course the Biased Broadcasting
Corporation would have us believe. But green issues are clearly not our biggest concern because if
they were we would have more of the lentil-eating, yoghurt-knitting 2CV drivers in Parliament,
getting their noses into the no doubt organic trough.
The reality of course is that for the majority of us feeding the kids, keeping a roof over our heads
and protecting both our borders and our loved ones are of much more importance than whether or
not a polar bear is having to take swimming lessons. . . .
The political elite are so far removed from the real-life experience of the rest of us and they must
start listening to motorists and our concerns. Instead of tinkering at the edges of our transport
problems with congestion charges, road pricing or the ridiculous idea of using hard shoulder, they
need to fund a massive road-building programme.
