I wonder how many conversations like this were going on in Tunisia & Egypt a couple of months ago and look what they've achieved. The rights and wrongs of it are a whole different conversation.
IMHO I think there are many governments around the world (including our own) that are in for a huge wake up call as people are sick to death of being shafted by the fat cats

The egyptions and tunisians are being shafted from every angle, enough to make them fight with their lives. We are still fed, warm, safe, etc etc. We all need to be hit hard before we all revault.

And now they want to increase the tunnel tolls!
I say scrap the tunnel tolls and the fake police and make them free after all they are part of the road network and we pay road tax.

LETS HAVE A TUNNEL TOLLS PROTEST all drive there at the same time with £50 notes and block them for a few hours during rush hour.

Robbing basKets they have loads of money in the kitty according to the news that has just been read on the radio.

An why do the tunnel police need a fleet of new 4x4 vehicles when there is no mud etc in the tunnel? Get them smart cars instead!

Unfortunately we need the tunnel tolls, otherwise the tunnels would just be a traffic jam.

That is a joke posted by the Chief Exec to try to justify the increase in the tolls. He quotes that they need to increase the tunnel tolls to deter people from using them thus creating traffic jams.
Why dont they just brick them up then and there would be no traffic jams - ever!

@insanekitty

I'm sorry you can't follow the simple logic that if the tunnels were free then there would be considerably more traffic through them. (clue - think what would happen if petrol were free!)

Perhaps you can explain the advantages of bricking them up?

This pisses me off too plus with all the money they make they can't even be arsed cleaning the tunnel. Its filthy, an absolute disgrace. I don't know what visitors to Merseyside must think.
