You won't find that in a Finance Act, either. |

How much does your bicycle use while going along the roads the cars are paying for? Cars don't pay for roads. Their slaves pay for 60% of the motorway maintenance budget... ....much of which just circulates round government departments via the benefits system. |

Why do you need this? Just what's wrong with your ****ed up head? Do you never meet people, do you never hear it called road tax? Everybody either calls it road tax or a tax disk (before they made it paperless). Everybody does not. You probably meant "Not everybody does", because "Everybody does not" (with its completely different meaning) is patently untrue and a non-starter. That being the case, we can easily forgive your clumsy attempt at manipulation of the language and accept that you were right in what you were trying to say but couldn't quite manage: there are indeed some people who - for various reasons which are entirely their own - do not call Road Tax "Road Tax". For that reason JSW's "Everybody either calls it road tax or a tax disk" has to be seen as a figure of speech with "everybody" only meaning "a majority". There, for instance, some people who cannot deal with anything in terms not provided for in "government legislation". There are others who cannot deal with any concepts in a way which undermines a point they wish to try to make and are prepared to go to ever more extreme extremities to avoid admitting the truth. There may well be a considerable overlap between those two groups. Look up the evolution of the English language, colloquialisms, something, please. You're boring the group to tears. Taking about something nick named "road tax" is the truly boring bit. The real boring bit is the anorak-ish harumphing insistence that the majority are wrong and the self-interested minority are right. JSW is right insofar as he remarks (in terms) that most people call Road Tax "Road Tax" and that is is perfectly acceptable to refer to that tax in that way. I would add that anyone professing not to undserstand the term is trying, but failing, to be deceitful. "Government legislation" so loved of another poster here has never yet managed to define and prescribe the English language as she is spoken. |

Oh, so witty (in your imagination at least)... just as though one could not see straight through the clumsy attempt at tactical maneouvring. Your problem is that whilst there is no such thing as a bedroom tax, there patently *is* such a thing as Road Tax. You don't deny its existence at all; you simply insist that it be called by another name and repeatedly stamp your foot in pique when that peremptory order is not complied with. |
