Yes.

Fairer though. If you pollute more, because you waste energy stuck in traffic, you should pay more.

No?
Not really. Depends how much the tolls could be. But the non motorway route could be longer and use more fuel than the motorway route for example. If the tax difference is enough that it still costs more via the motorway after the extra fuel costs of the slower roads way you are polluting more and not being able to use the faster roads. And the fewer on expensive roads means that there will be less queues to sit in. And less stationary time .. polluting less. But paying more.
Even with electric there is an intrinsic fuel pollution cost.

For starters Im not even concentrating the discussuon in us...its a problem for the continent...who are people to.

The EU will back down on galileo because we are far too intergrated to even consider shutting us out..its fucking laughable.

Lol if we made one with the Aussies though and started offering cut price across europe.

Ih man..the look on the EUs face would be sweet

Obvs.

So you do it by algorithm. If you pollute more, you pay more.

Simples. And just like buying petrol - you burn more petrol, you pay more.

The UK is integrated far more tightly in other areas and guess what, what you voted for is leading to those partnerships ending. You still seem to be failing to grasp the enormity of what Brexit actually means. The UK voted to end its involvement in EU initiatives like Galileo, at the end of the day it's really not much more complicated than that.

Been watching a series on Netflix called Ancient Aliens. A mildly entertaining mix of the quite plausible and the utterly bonkers.

Thats fine if its a flat cost per mile where ever you go. Not if its more expensive to use the better and faster roads.

Why would you think it would work that way?

It'll be more expensive to use congested shit routes - because that's where the majority of pollution comes from.

Charging this way has the potential to hit the bigger polluters harder (in the way petrol consumption does already).

It could be abused, but it's the correct approach.

So, I've gone from 14st 8lbs to 13st dead in very short order

What's your diet / exercise routine to achieving this?

I'm looking into starting carb cycling combined with moderate HIIT soon. Trying to sort through all the crap on the Internet and boil it down to a realistic routine that I can maintain and fit around my Maltesers addiction.

Oh and this is the nearest thing you're going to get to a light saber without having to find a universe where the current laws of electromagnetism don't apply

The guard runs a tongue in cheek article about how much better the Danes are than us..

Then chooses this coment as its top pick.
Seriously.

I have enjoyed reading this, and, as a Brit now living in Europe, I know exactly what you mean: the hypocritical prudery, the false politeness, the gluttony, anachronistic school uniforms and meaningless formality.
I live at the other end of Europe, far further from Denmark than the UK, but I recognise all the contrasts. Better off out of it, especially now!

Er its not me taking them seriously is it.

Its a certain newspaper revelling in self hate, they follow it up with an article 'places we love in Europe' and theres nowhere in Britain.....because to the Guard we have executed cultural suicide by leaving a corrupted power grab.

One of the places is a concrete tower in Bulgaria and also cemetery in Poland, which is so fucking hopelessly avant that you'd think it was a mash article.

Worth a read actually.
Our Europe: 27 things we love about the continent


Within seconds you read.

'It’s Greece, so these are proper mountains. The road crests at 1,600 metres, taller than Ben Nevis'

Proper mountains eh...jesus fucking christ.

You need to check out the Express, it is even more silly.


I thought it was pretty much known last week this was being done, not that it has much affect when people must be thinking coronavirus results in diarrhea so are buying mountains of toilet paper.

Isnt that the completely correct response

Yes, but you don't lie to the public especially when there's people out there that can easily call you out.

He'll be alright though (thats the important thing, right?) he can just blame open EU borders or something.

The best part is the NHS pretending that we'll be alright, hospitals are already over flowing, China had to build two huge hospitals in a couple of days, if it gets to China levels in the UK we'll definitely be fucked.

Even if it wasn't a overwhelmingly dipshit reply I doubt I would give more time to the reply, for me you've sort of become the opposite side of the same coin Job is on.

So you've stopped reading the Guard then because they are completely obsessed.
You're completely obsessed.

Just because some news outlets run stories doesn't mean you have to repost and rage about them.
