Our sly Government, or should I say civil servants, have decided to cut the tax on petrol and put it on distance driven. Using satellite technology they will track us and charge us per mile.
Most paranoid liberals will be crying ‘foul’ over the invasion of privacy when being tracked. This is not the real conspiracy here.
The real conspiracy is that the aforementioned ‘sly’ civil servants have realised car technology and design are increasingly pointing towards ‘hybrid’ cars which use petrol and electricity to drive the vehicle. When the petrol is driving the car on the open road then the batteries are charged. Urban driving, which uses more fuel, is controlled by the electric motor.
The treasury have realised that within 10 years the amount of petrol we use could be significantly reduced. Good news?... Not if you understand that the fuel tax received will be greatly reduced too.
People often wonder what would happen if we all stopped driving or smoking as the Government want us to. Would the revenue lost mean our economy collapses? I think someone has answered that by trying to bring in this charge-per-mile tax. In 10 years fuel tax will start diminishing so therefore the money must be taken from us another way.
What other reason is there for thinking up such a wild solution like satellite tracking for 30 million cars when the ultimate charge-per-mile tax would be more fuel tax? The more miles you do, the more fuel you use… unless you have a ‘hybrid’ car. The Government clearly thinks we all will have one in the future.
They don’t really want us to stop smoking or driving. I’m not sure they want to cure diseases that kill us either. That would mean more pensions and health care to pay out for. The future is bright, the future must be paid for.

You certainly can link to my site if you want. I have to yours on the sidebar. Do you know how to do it? You have to edit the 'template' in HTML code. (sounds harder than it actually is)
If you do try then I suggest you 'highlight' then 'copy' and paste your Template onto Word or something before you try.
Where it says href=edit-me(something like that)then copy how the Google link is set up. 8wow I sound confusing*
Good luck... phew!
