Note 'no more' not 'not', as I am quite aware that lots (nearly said everyone there) pays VAT, Income tax, etc etc etc . Anyway I am getting bored with making the, truthful, statement over and over and... again that :- *VED/road tax does NOT pay for the road it licenses the use of a vehicle on the road.* only too have the lie that VED is used to pay for roads repeated two minutes later, so I shall bow out of this thread.
