Be very concerned when this government tries to ban something, even something like the smoking ban in pubs, might seam a good idea on the face of it but the knock on effect is huge. How long before alcohol is banned in pubs ? at the end of the day alcohol causes more problems than smoking, so it is the thin edge of the wedge, more is coming.
I admit I am scared of this government at the power it is wielding in the name of the environment.

At last, someone who agrees with me, and what I've been banging on about here since the smoking ban.

you can thank the anti 4x4 greenies for your Omega ved increasing. the more noise they make the more the politicians will see more ways to tax us of the road. Most thought it was a good idea to tax the 4x4s off the road, until the government broadened the scope of the tax to include other vehicles

i think its the politcs of envy dressed up as a good cause,notice they are picking on kensington/chelsea.

  What you need to do is make up some horrible smelling concoction , take the valve out of your tyre valve, pour in the liquid, replace valve and reinflate tyre, boy will they get a shock .

I've put this in the readers comments section... Am I the only one, or has anyone else replied?

I appreciate everyone has the right to free speech and protest about things that upset them, but to let tyres down is nothing short of criminal damage.
I hope the courts will deal with these vandals severely.
Whether or not a 4x4 does give out more emissions does not give anyone the right to damage it.
What would be the reaction of the police if a car could not be moved because of this. To drive any vehicle on flat tyres will right the tyres off.
Who will pay?
The protesters? .... I doubt it!

Good response! If I had my kids in the car and I had loads of face-painted eco-warriors trying to deflate my tyres and put stickers on my windows, I might be tempted to break my golden rule of not swearing in front of the nippers.
