Peter Roberts is the man who has posted a e-petition onto Blair's number 10 downing street website. He is totally apposed to the governments plans to introduce road tolling and pricing within 10 years.
Mr Peter Roberts
It is strange that whilst a letter bomber is busy making his point of view about road charging cameras, Roberts launches his e-petition. Obviously Roberts and the letter bomb terrorist think that the government is going to submit to protests and terrorism.
At the moment, the press are lauding him as the latest great crusader for the motorist. when Roberts realises his petition won't get anywhere, his next resort to bringing the nation's transport system to a standstill and to challenge the government, is to organize demonstrations.
Like the rest of us here who were on Feb 15th 2003 stop the war for example....demos rarely work. likewise, i hope a FIT squad takes up residence outside his house and MI5 telephones him to ask his intentions.
Just who the hell does Peter Roberts think he is? he is obviously not a scientist, otherwise he would know what damage his car is doing to the environment. He is not a transport expert because he cannot offer an alternative solution to road pricing.
My personal view is that here is a man who thinks that that government just exists:
To make sure they lay on as much petrol and diesel as drivers want. (invading countries to get supplies if necessary)
The price of petrol and diesel arranged so that they are as cheap as possible so not to discomfort Roberts driving experience and wallet.
Building roads in every direction for free so Roberts can get where ever he wants to go at everyone else environmental expense. ( he doesn't care if motorways destroy green belts)
I think to stop the likes of Mr Roberts, he should be charged 1.50 a mile for motorways and one pound for A-roads with the aim of reducing car use by 30% by 2015. His petrol consumption should be rationed as well as the number of cars his family are allowed to have. I say one car per family and that car has to be within the 120 milligrams of pollution per mile or less (even that is too much. He should be made to walk).
I would also tell him to read the Stern report and the latest IPCC climate change report before he sends anymore e-petitions.
