All this is to save the Tories ( l won't mention Libs, as they are just puppets for Cameron) spending money, We pay enough road tax and fuel duty in this country which should be covering this building costs, but Cameron is creaming this off.

We have a toll road already in the midlands, we have toll bridges which make a fortune each day. If the government introduce this on new motorways, what will happen if its a success, they will try there hardest to implement on ALL motorways.

This charge will effect major companies, that use the road for haulage, prices will go up and force companies out of business.

Now what other tax can they think of, oh yes, how many we use the loos each day, new tyres - a tax can go on that, MOTs can go up, or how many prisoners go to prison each day, we can pay a tax on how many - that's how silly this government would be in a bid to get more tax out of us.
