They should be saying probably have to.... The bit.loaded/and@lies.com on the matrix board , doesn't want the truth, that's why. The Tory government propose this, and Labour don't argue it, and claim they have no choice because they aren't in government. It's the usual political environment. Labour have to keep the greens/cyclists/ etc. happy. The only losers in this will be the public, as buses and taxis will just pass the fare on... and they'll pay themselves eventually on a personal level. You have to get to Question 19 to get to this stage though, by which time, all the loaded questions will favour taxing taxis and buses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know from the cyclists FB group that they all in favour of it. Green will be too. Green in Sheffield tend to be well to do IMO, so they are going to support it, even though it won't help the environment in any way. It's just taking £70 out of my wage packet every week. I don't know any taxi driver who is honest, who makes more than min wage. Let's also introduce the bus strikes over pay. This year, fair increase, next year year unfair increase... why do you think that is? Because they've offered 16p / hour (will have to check exact figures), but this is most likely because £50 per bus per day will cripple the profits of the bus companies, hence they will pass this on, with no pay rises. These Labour/Greens/lefties who argue for working people have sold out to the middle class, and people can't see it. Look at the london protests with young people... never heard anything other than a posh accent from the protesters that made news.

Just a load of kids having a party and claiming that they know everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These are professional engineers and planners who will do a good job, wherever they happen to live.

geared Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 Isn't the current station setup better than it used to be though? Used to be a sodding free-for-all when the public were allowed to drop off at the door, you'd always get some ignorant tosser blocking the drop-off zone waiting for someone.
