Road Potholes


antony1969

Recommended Posts

Anyone else's area got shocking roads full of potholes ??? ... Can't remember the roads locally ever being so bad ... They reckon nationally it would cost 9-10 billion pounds to bring our roads up to scratch ... We spend 13/14 billion pounds yearly on our ridiculous overseas aid policy ... Maybe time to take back less than a years overseas aid and sort out our roads

Once the roads are sorted then our foreign aid budget could be given to the NHS B-) ........

You seem to be agreeing with Corbyn's so called 'hard left' policies of making £billionaire'newspaper' owners domiciled in Her Majesty's tax havens pay tax, to spend on decent infrastructure. (lol)

 

Eh ... Bit Hollywood that ... Those billionaire newspaper owners employ folk in this country who spend money in this country ... How that's the same as reducing foreign aid to countries who have space programmes and others who would wish to do us harm is stretching it a tad even for you

The amount of overseas aid is a miniscule amount in comparison to what the Exchequer draws in annually from road users. By that i'm including every vehicle type from motorbikes, cars, through to 40ton HGV's and coaches. The tax creamed off just fuel alone is among the highest in Europe. Add VED and overseas aid becomes mere pence in comparison.

 

Road conditions are certainly worsening though, not helped by governments punitive budget demands on local councils.

The folk they employ pay their taxes though whilst the billionaire owners don't.

They dont pay the taxes they are obliged to pay to HMRC like their employees ... Like to see some proof of that

I dont know why Antony is complaining. I thought the big plan was to go back in time anyway, lets get rid of the tarmac roads and go back to goat tracks and Horse and Carts. It will fit in with the image of Post Brexit Britain.

 

No Barry it will fit in with YOUR image of post Brexit ... Lets be honest your predictions up to press aint been worth a toss

You were the one that said my predictions up to present "Aint worth a toss".

 

There were many. Here are a few biggies, Brexit would damage the economy. It has already even though we havent left yet, The public would not stomach a hard Brexit was another. There is clearly now no mandate for a hard Brexit. The Tories would make a complete balls up of it and it would be the end of them. Well the first part is completely true of that prediction and the way things are looking it will probably tear them apart first before the year is out. Should I go on?

 

Sorry off topic. Yeah, roads, sh1t arent they?

We've had over a year of screaming hysterical doom and gloom from the likes of you and others , thats obviously going to have an effect on the economy ... The people I know still want what they always wanted a hard Brexit ... No one I know has changed their minds but maybe you could show thousands that have and im not talking about silly polls or surveys which have no credibility what so ever ... To be fair the Tories haven't made the greatest job of it but I suppose they've had their hands tied by treacherous Lords and and so on

Plenty in the Financial Times about Brexit which I can't quote for copyright, or post links to because its behind a paywall.

People like the Japanese Ambassodor who tells us car factory investment has been put on hold until the outcome of brexit is known.

Can't you understand how much a game changer it wouold be if they are on the wrong side of trade barriers, and their production lines can be brought to a halt by any one of thousands of customs beuracrats stopping their supply of essential components?

Who are they goiing to call forr help in such a crisis? Boris Johnson *-)

That bit's true Actually 8-)

A rare breath of common sense

Britain could have benefitted from the same EU infrastructure grants if politicial dogma hadn't insisted on doing everything through absurdly expensive PFI >:-)

Can't blame the EU for that - but I suppose the Mad Hatter will (lol)

PFI was introduced by John Major,

Carried on by NEW Labour back in the year BC (Before Corbyn)

nd raised to the present monstrous level by George Osborne
