I had hoped to add the occasional comment here when and where it might be useful (i.e. by adding new information) but it appears that the one I submitted a week ago hasn't got anywhere. Am I doing something wrong?

At 11:36am on 16th August 2007, John M Ward said…: Interesting discussion! Whether or not one supports public transport (and I have always been a user myself) it certainly is unreasonable to tax those who are coming in from outside London to bring their talents to benefit the Capital. Personally, I'd rather they stayed here and benefited Medway. Perhaps the threatened huge increase in the Congestion Charge might tip the balance sufficiently that some of our commuters will decide it isn't worth going up to London each day.

I also note that Chris Huhne for the LibDems has promised to double spending on our railways. I quote him directly from the LibDem website:

"Plans to improve the railways must not be scuppered yet again by public spending constraints..."

This looks like further hefty taxation looming if the LibDems should ever get their hands on any position of real power, such as the London Mayoralty "one-man band". Okay, scratch them as well as Labour...
