Blog 4

In this instalment I will be talking (Or more like ranting) about the idiotic “Green Taxes” and the silly theories behind them. Today I was reading a friend’s facebook status, and they were complaining about the expense of getting your wheels, which As most of us know is a costly process, firstly getting your licence, £50 just to get the provisional, £30 for a theory test, all the taxes on the lessons, which soon you will have to take a set amount of (100 hours I read). That in itself is sheer idiocy, my dad passed in 4 lessons, and is one of the best drivers ever, whereas my grandmother would still be a rubbish driver if you made her do a 1000 lessons, some people just aren’t cut out to drive, and they are the ones who cause the accidents, doing 40mph on the motorway, and breaking for no reason, causing the person driving normally behind them to smash into them. Also they are moving the test to 18, stupidity central, and as usual form some berk with a 2:2 in social sciences from Bolton University, who thinks because they have studied life they understand it. I usually avoid using such language in my blogs but please FUCK OFF, stop telling us how to live, treating adults like children.
Once you have navigated that hellhole of bureaucracy and idiocy you then have the astronomical costs of running a car. Did you know that before tax petrol costs (If we presume a price of £1 per litre) about 37p, and about 50p with VAT. And all of this in the name of saving a few cuddly polar bears. Again please bugger off Mr/Mrs treehugger, according to a recent study CO2 levels will have to reach a least 750ppm for the ice caps to melt irreversibly (A natural inevitability anyway, as we are still in the “interglacial” of an ice age) when they are currently at 225ppm. Furthermore when you consider that the motorist emits less CO2 than breathing, cows and many other everyday things, then surely these so called “Green taxes” are a waste of time. But no, government ministers defend them, which leads me to believe, as a reasonable person, that the government has ulterior motives, or are just plain stupid.
