The continual, above-inflation train, bus and taxi fare increases reported in The Argus (February 2) seem a strange Government policy to coax drivers out of their cars?
Also reported in The Argus have been the continual, above-average-inflation rises in council tax. They may conceivably force the Government to transform its South-East affordable housing policy into a prison-building programme to house council tax debtors.
Perhaps Frank Gehry's twin tower King Alfred masterpiece, enclosed within proposed ugly, communist-erastyle, high-rise tenement blocks, is part of a Brighton and Hove City Council plan to convert the tenement blocks into prison blocks to house the predicted rise in council tax defaulters?
Tony Blair must be thinking how fortunate he is to be leaving government before the next election.
