Owning a car should be outlawed to force people on to public transport, a senior Labour MP has suggested. Because, after all, we're kings and can decree anything we bloody well like.

I agree wholeheartedly, which is why the first thing we need to do is make it a FELONY punishable by not less than 10 years in PRISON for a Public Servant or Public Employee to own ANY VEHICLE.

Just wait, this will be proposed here by out Stalinist transport secretary. And we don’t have Constitutional protections for vehicles against the eco nazis.

Let me guess: There’ll be a Muslim carve-out so they won’t have to comply? What do I win?

What are they so worried about? Aren’t these the same people cheering the coming dawn of the Driverless Car? I don’t expect a tidal wave of driverless, because people like me prefer making their own choices. However, elderly or disabled people sure could use such a vehicle, once the little bugs are worked out. Who knows, the Brits might not tolerate losing their rights to drive independently.

Maybe so but we have States who can tell the Feds to pound sand.

Labour Party. They vacillate between social-democratic and full-blown socialist.

With strong governors like Krispy Kreme and that stupid broad from Arizona? If we want the states to serve as a concrete bulwark against Obama’s tyranny, we need strong super-conservative governors. Being GOP is not enough.

Speaking of Christie, he’s about to let New Jersey Transit blow more money on replacing all of its commuter rail single-deck cars with double-deck ones. Pork-barrel spending doesn’t help anything.

Unlike in the UK, we have the second amendment to deal with tyrants like him.
