She promotes the use of 'positive' discrimination to make the fire service, police etc more PC. Jobs should be awarded on the basis of merit NEVER PC. A woman, ethnic minority member or bi/homosexual should not get a job just because they help meet the targets they should get the job because they are the most able and suitable candidate for the position. 'Positive' discrimination should be outlawed. It is racism as far as I am concerned.

As for pakistanis being racist, especially some pakistani muslims, then they make Adolf Hitler seem like Martin Luther King, I speak from personal experience on that one. Yes I know the vast majority of road tax doesnt go into roads, last time I saw it was 20%,I have been led to believe that Britain has the lowest miles of road per person in Europe? Can anyone confirm this? well said Frustrated, truly splendid Sir,the green issue/climate change issue hss now moved into the sphere of PC fascism,dissenters will be persecuted!

Only 10% of car tax and duties goes into paying for roads etc. - the other 90% just goes into general taxation. It's nothing to do with "green issues" - it's just an excuse to tell you it's your own fault in that you are having to pay a lot of tax. And just like people were demonised in my old home town for ever suggesting that someone of Pakistani origin could be capable of any crime for being racist even when they were just telling the truth, they're doing the same with green issues - you're a flat earther or there's something wrong with you to consider there may be something else to blame, or they're might not even be a problem at all.

You can't drive people out of their cars (pun intended) without a viable alternative that costs the same or less, completes their journey in a similar time in similar comfort.

Unfortunately in the national elections the Cons (that’s not meant to be a pun or descriptive of their taxes etc.) will get voted in Fylde no matter what! Well said sir.
