VAT, what a con!
Wed, 20 Aug 2008 22:00:04 +0100
I had my car serviced today and had to give the Government ¡ê27.20 for the
priviledge. What the fuck is that all about?
We didn't ask for loads of people to go to Iraq or Afghanistan to fire
rockets about, we didn't ask for the 2012 Olympics, we're not currently
demanding ID cards.
And we never wanted th ...

Cleveland Police helecopter usage
Wed, 20 Aug 2008 20:26:28 +0100
Hmm, it seems that they used the helecopter to hunt down a stolen
bicycle. Wonder how much that cost vs. the cost of the bike? Seems like
misuse to me, I'll remember that next time the fucking thing hovers over
mu house at 2am to shine it's searchlight on the farmer's fields out the
back as they often do. I du ...

Air travel is dangerous innit.
Wed, 20 Aug 2008 12:03:02 -0700 (PDT)

Heathrow - dead bodies to be dug up.
Wed, 20 Aug 2008 10:16:49 -0700 (PDT)
Just seen on ITV news.
Motorists who dominate this transport newsgroup expressed disgust when
animal rights activists dug up a single dead body in a graveyard but
this is nothing compared to the plan to put a road through a graveyard
to assist Heathrow expansion and where many loved ones will be dug up.
Justify ...

Come get your airport, genuine reason for sale.
Wed, 20 Aug 2008 12:25:39 +0100
So is the enforced sale of airports by BAA a good thing? Will it bring prices
down thanks to increased competition? Will it be a case of reduced efficiency
and increased redundancy? Will the big injection of cash pay for a bigger
better Heathrow? About the only thing we can know is it's going to be a long
haul ...
