Oly Posted October 23, 2007 Report Share Posted October 23, 2007 Just found this, wondering what everyone thinks? Personally the Sustrans' Connect 2 would get my vote - it benefits the largest geographic area & number of people...and it would promote green transport and get people enjoying the outdoors whilst not in my fields! http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/7057299.stm http://www.thepeoples50million.org.uk/home Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suffolk shooter Posted October 23, 2007 Report Share Posted October 23, 2007 I can think of better ways of spending the money and none of them include the above. Did they leave you out of the shortlisting process again SS?!? Still...no need to sulk, come on - one of these is going to happen - so, out of those on offer which would you go for? Hmm, let me see, nope still none of the above, what an utter waste of money on all accounts. Eden Project - They get how many visitors a year at how much and they still want more money. Plus the government is there to do that with our tax money you know research et al. Sustrans - Surely the government have or are doing this already with our Taxes, you know that 75% that they tax on Petrol anyway, plus road fund license etc. Sherwood the living legend - Correct me If I'm wrong but isn't there already a visitors centre and doesn't the forestry commission plant trees anyway getting subsidies etc from the peoples taxes via the government and the EU The Black Country Urban park - Correct me if I'm wrong again, but don't we all pay taxes Income, Stealth and Council to help regenerate our own areas. Why should the money go towards areas that the majority of people don't live in or near. So you can see my problem, we have already paid for all of these under the various tax guises and yet they now want to give away more of our money (those that do the lottery that is) to help fill the supposed shortfall of the respective local and national governments. So all in all its just another stealth tax in itself. Why not buy up huge tracts of countryside and offer the public the hunting/shooting rights on an open ticket basis like America, Australia, New Zealand, Canada does already. Fresh air, exercise and healthy living. Why not put it towards greater naval power to patrol our waters to stop the stinking Spanish, Italian, Portugese, Norwegians, Japanese etc decimating the fish stocks around our coastal waters and putting our fishing fleets out of business. Or better still build more prisions to put away those peodophiles, rapists, gangbangers, drug dealers to make the streets safer. Oh no wait we pay tax for that already as well.

Oly Posted October 23, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2007 So SS, even though you have valid points - and this is totally out of your control and is going to happen anyway - your not going to vote just for a bit of fun on PW? I didn't realise that PW had such influence over the 'movers & shakers' around the country...must remember to watch what I say in future!
