Moderators feel free to delete/move but I thought this is the most looked at forum and it does affect local Alty fans and coach busineses(!)

How do we all feel about the congestion charge that is coming to Manchester?

After 2million signed the petition against road pricing, promises about consultation, reductions in fuel tax/road duty this project is set to go live by 2012...but hey! it's Ok...the metrolink will be expanded to Wythenshawe!

In spite of it all going quiet at local election time, the plan is full drawn up and ready to go; note the washway road will be a charged road.

Labour government has been taxing this country to death for 10 years now. Time for change!

Who? the tories?

[Red N White Dynamite]

Anyone but Gordon "Darth Vader" Brown.

lol good reply! i'm not a labour fan but anything but the freaking tories in my book!

I suspect that this will grow and grow over time as a thread as differing people have differing views of politics many of which are very deeply entrenched.

Could I suggest therefore that to protect the sanity of those either not interested or too young the administrators might move this to another part of the forum.

I suspect that some of the arguments may get a bit heated and we don't want to offend anyone do we?

[Amsterdam Alty]

heated what do you mean heated you pompous prick???

i'm joking ATS

Jezza,

Just promise me that you won't get us all snowed under by a blizzard of emails, as you managed to do a few years ago when you got all excited about those lorries blocking fuel depots! 

[teasybeaver]

Its ridiculous!

Manchester isnt even congested compared to some places!

[bighairedmike]

not really about congestion, but i am doing politics next year and i had to choose a party to research, so i chose the monster raving loony party. can i ask if we can introduce this at alty matches next season?

Those who value peace will be pleased with the Party's policy on mobile phones. "Anyone using a mobile phone in public will be in danger of being 'silly stringed'," it reads. "Any member of the public will, at their own convenience and pleasure, be able to carry and use at their discretion cans of squirty silly string on anyone they hear using a mobile phone."

As long as supporters direct don't send me another virus ridden e-mail then I'm sure we'll all be fine.

Ironically that e-mail also went onto the Supporters Direct yahoo group and they got a bit upset so... every cloud....

Labour = Tax
Liberal = Tax and more Tax
SNP = who cares they wear kilts
Tories = mmm I can keep my money and screw everyone else
BNP = I will decline to comment on this one

Vote Tories, keep your money and buy a season ticket with it to help the club

That's about right as far as I can see.  :-)

[Lockhartflawse]

That's okay so long as you don't have to use public transport to get to the match, you don't mind the bins not being emptied or the streets swept, in fact so long as you don't actually want to use any public services then yeah go ahead vote Tory

And if you think Marcus Hallows waited a long time for an Ambulance the other year just wait until they get back in and anyone requiring an ambulance or hospital treatment due to a sporting injury is charged commercial rates for it.
