No seriously I hate hippies. Greenpeace are unrealistic idealists. A lot of what people put in the media seems to be anti middle class and anti upper class. They seem to think that the middle classes are stopping progress and that they are polluting everything.
Seriously the High Speed Link lobbey seem to think attacking the middle classes for hindering them building the line up to Birmingham is somehow the right thing to do, and by saying they are hindering the lower classes seems bullshit and a needless attack and also stating that the link will reduce pollution. That will not get anyone to follow your cause.
Then you have Greenpeace who seem to think the middle classes are responsible for all pollution in the world.
What baffles me the most is when they try to limit the amount of cars going into London by congestion charging. They are going there because they have too no one sits in traffic because they want too. It has had an effect but as soon as its later on at night the traffic is a complete Nightmare!!! Effectively just moving the problem.
This is pretty much the same sort of thinking that dominates poor production lines and badly performing companies.
Flow needs to be increased. People have to be able to move about more freely. Cost of travel limits the amount of travel people do. Better flow also has its advantages in that vehicles will not be sitting still for long periods of time, pollution should decrease. Maybe stop start technology would aid with reducing the amount of pollution but it doesn't reduce the large cost to the Economy that people sitting in traffic not being able to do jobs costs. Not to mention the flow of money out of the country to oil nations.
