On: Electric Cars – fuel duty and road tax: how to rep...

[blibble]

or it could simply be that the commonly used term for Vehicle Excise Duty is "road tax" (even if it's technically incorrect)

not everything is a conspiracy

[techterrier → blibble]

commonly used by people who disingenuously use it's etymology to imply that all 'road users' (by which they mean cyclists) rather than 'vehicle users' should pay it

[blibble → techterrier]

I don't see anything in the article that suggests the author wants that to happen?

these hysterical responses say more about you then the people you're demonising

[techterrier → blibble]

I dont think a carsalesman is going to feel overly demonised by being reffered to as part of the car lobby. He does know better than to conflate road and vehicle tax however.

[blibble → techterrier]

when you can't get the name of the duty right (it's a duty, not a tax), it seems a bit rich to complain about others getting it wrong

let alone accusing them of dog-whistling
