Is this one step too far???

It is with a new government initiative as part of the proposal for the G20 summit that all SUVs / 4x4s are to be removed from britains roads in an effort to combat the ever increasing risk from global warming.

It is proposed that Tax wil rise to over £500 per vehicle per year by the year 2010 and by 2020 all vehicles within the category are to be scrapped.

Bloody government, the worlds gone mad!!

It'll never happen ... I HOPE!!!

Sok, we'll just drive offroad all the time then!!

It couldn't happen without the government making themselves look really thick, as they're currently supporting Tata to keep Land Rover alive, and as Land Rover only build 4x4's, the initiative you mention would effectively close a company that they're trying hard to keep open

And that's not counting the fact so many of them own daft big fancy cars that drink more dino-juice than most (European) 4x4's.

HOOK LINE AND SINKER!!!!!!

Happy April 1st

Doh! Okay, yer got me - good one.

Thing is it was all very plausible, especially given all the claptrap that comes our way from the powers that be. Best that no politicians see this thread or it'll give 'em ideas.

yeah, the only bit that most people didnt tend to fall for was the scrapping of all 4x4s

I did wonder why global warming would come up at a finance meeting, but completely forgot a) it was suspicious, and b) that the day before had been april 1st... Ho hum.
...
But under the rules of the game, you're supposed to remove or announce the hoax yourself by noon, else be the biggest fool of them all.

Well spotted, it was after mid-day ... FOOL!

nobody looked at it before dinner...

Yeah you got me as well. Star date 04/05/09.
All I've got to say is STOP GLOBAL WHINING
