Backfire in Progress


Basking in the glow of how well 24 opening laws eradicated public drunkenness, the British government now wants to charge people for driving into town in order to "encourage local businesses" and to treat people who put enough rubbish in their bins to leave the lid ajar worse than drunks and shoplifters.

Standby for town centres turning into wastelands, fly tipping reaching epic proportions, and the government acting all surprised about it.

Social engineering: Where goals trump results every time.

Rules for submitting comments:

1. No profanity. I maintain the pretense that this is a family-friendly site.

2. Stay on topic. A bit of straying and off-hand commenting is okay, but hijacking the discussion is right out.

3. No ad hominem attacks. Attack the subject, not the other person on the thread and keep the discussion civil.

4. No spamming or commercial endorsements. These get deleted immediately.

Tip: Beware of putting hyperlinks in your comments–especially at the end. For some reason, Blogger interprets these as spam.

Note: Due to the recent spate of anonymous spamming, registration for comments is now required.
