Here come the bus, here come the bus!
According to a poll by “Bolt,” whoever they are, one out of five drivers in Britain believe “Government should [be] actively discouraging the use of cars” (https://www.express.co.uk/life-style/cars/1713564/car-ownership-transport-driving-attitude-changes). This is some of the stupid nooze I didn’t bother to write yesterday.
Yes, Ma’am! “World Car Free Day!” Freeze your tuchas off waiting for a train. Sit up on the roof of the bus with the chickens. Toodle off to work on your scooter, in the rain. Wahoo–“the people” joyfully carry manure to the fields!
Wait a minute, there–couldn’t you have just as well said “four out of five British drivers don’t want the government discouraging the use of cars”?
Well, you don’t need a crystal ball to see what this is all about. It’s about taking away your mobility. When car ownership became virtually universal in America, it helped create the middle class. To a slightly lesser degree, it did that in Britain, too. If you have a car, you can go where you want, when you want to go. You don’t have to wait for some government bus or train that may or may not get there on time.
Freedom of movement is freedom! And that’s why the global government crowd doesn’t want you to have it. That’s why they want to take your car away, by hook or by crook. Read all about it in The Hunger Games.
