The thing is, politicians...
The thing is, politicians have a civil obligation to explain themselves to the taxpayers who stump up their wages. Yet many of those in office choose to run away from journalists like me. The revolutionary London Congestion Charge system is another thorny issue that needs to be seriously questioned. It"s something that affects countless millions who visit the capital for work or pleasure purposes. Its main victims are the wealth-creating business people and their employees who have to travel into the congestion zone, but because they"re not residents they have no say in who"s voted into political office - and that can"t be right can it?
That"s the conclusion...
That"s the conclusion of÷ the Berkshire-based Transport Research Laboratory.
It randomly matched 52,000 drivers to the Home Office"s Offenders list. And men with at least nine non-motoring convictions from 1999-2003 committed 100 times more driving-while-disqualified offences as those with a clean record.
