When are people going to stand up and say enough is enough?

As they say, "You can't fight city hall". I agree with you but most people don't understand what's going on with their taxes and most don't care..........

I agree - the ordinary man in the street gets taxed horrendously for driving a car.

For some of us there is no choice as the nature of our jobs demand it. And if the public transport system was adequate and reasonably priced there may be an argument to use it, but being in a frozen or sweltering train or bus, squashed like a sardine is not good for anyone's health.

And if the government claims to be so green, why don't they force all foreign trucks onto the rail network (like the channel tunnel link). That way they would only be using electricity (which they claim is so green), there would be little congestion, there would be far fewer accidents (check the stats on accidents caused by foreign lorries) and the roads would remain in a good condition for far longer - thereby removing the incessant roadworks which in turn cause further congestion.

They could also stop jetting all over the world - these politicians all preach green but that doesn't stop them holidaying regularly at long-haul destinations - duplicity!!!!!!!!!

Democracy is gone - politicians don't listen to the people. If they did there would be no troops in iraq, there would be no congestions charge, no council tax, I could go on and on.....

I think it was Lord Denning who said......British justice is open to everyone...just like The Ritz Hotel.

"Insanity in individuals is something rare - but in groups, parties, nations and epochs, it is the rule."
- Friedrich Nietzsche

The collective mind of mankind is retarded. And there's nothing we can do about it... we are too much sheep-like to wake up.

I agree with the sentiment, however not about the driver's bit.

Thatcher gave you the wrong impression when she was in power and convinced everyone that a car was a necessity in order to sell oil for Dennis.

The car is not a necessity, and to be honest if you want to use one you should pay through the nose all the time, in fact you should pay more. I am gonna stand up and say enough is enough on this issue.

Why should I cough dirty air, be subject to constant congestion, and see the world around me dying just so you can get yourself from a to b in comfort? You have inspired me! Enough is enough!

Ok lets all refuse to pay the over priced council tax bills this year, cancel all your direct debits and dont pay a penny. They wont be able to take us all to court so will have to listen to our demands to reduce them!

here, here. well said. i have been believing that same things for years. but tdhe government of any political party does not listen to the people. its like asking at what time the wind is going to stop blowing.

Super Ruper

Thats a message that needs to be driven home to the American People! That THEY are in charge, not Mr. Bush. Hard to believe a President almost got impeached for lying about getting a ********, but this President continues to live comfortably after lying about his motives to go to war. GWB has turned the United States of America into a joke globally - and he has endangered the lives of all Americans with his warlord mentality. Speak up, people of America. Let your country and the world know that he does NOT represent you and your best interests!

Spike Spiegel

Right on man! Fight the power!

Which laws in which country are you so upset about? If they are laws to reduce carbon dioxide emissions from vehicles or to reduce congestion in cities, then I support them heartily.

Ice Queen

true enough

In the first place,this country is,and has been run by,untrustworthy,corrupt,lying politicians of all parties,all they have wanted to do is line their own pockets and ignore the peasants who put them where they are.If, by some quirk, a honest political party emerged who would put Britain first and not europe or their own wealth,then they would have a great majority in parliament.As for the police,they are utterly incompetant,they act as tax collectors for the venal government of the day,as for preventing or solving crime,don't expect too much,after all the may have to come outside to do that!

After I take this quick nap. If there's nothing good on TV

...probably never..or not in our lifetime...individuals have courage...but people en masse can be cowardly or just follow the crowd...it is wrong but so is alot of our mad, crazy world...happy 2007...xxx

I agree but unfortunately not everyone will stand up for the same things, some people think that anarchy is a good idea, were not all one mind and we never will be. the truth is a hard pill to swallow.

BORAT

i agree!

PornZeus

GREAT point. When this happens in France, the people stop working and protest. The country grinds to a halt until they are listened to. Here, if we tried that the military would be out with mace until we were all either locked up or quivering at home, tail between legs. Our politics are corrupt and rotten to the core. It's too late to fix it. Guy Fawkes had the right idea.

DeeDee

ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!!!
(DeeDee says standing up)

I WILL VOICE MY OPINION .. when its voting time :)

Smooth Operator

Either when the military stage a coup or there is a General Election :-)

kitty

Give me one country with perfect laws and perfect people. there isn't any so just settle for what you have until you get hurt then speak up. I guess...

Voters voted for these rules maybe you should vote. Stand up for what anyways the country has been like this for years and years. Are country is the best if you don't like it move to Russia

zzHoUnDzz

Enough IS enough already!!!!! ;O)
We the people CAN change things!!
And they are here to serve & protect us~we the people.(but dont count on it.lol)

archaeologia

if you want change don`t vote,then there would be change,only the morons still vote every 4 years for the liars,then spend the next 4 years complaining.every one should go to the polling stations and destroy there voting slips by putting a big x across the whole page,the reason for this is if you don't go to vote your are giving your vote away to the winning candidate,who claims your vote,so get wise people do something and stop complaining nothing can be done ,well yes it can and this is the way to do it
