Great one. I wonder ts Georgie boy is thinking of announcing new tolls / new toll funded roads in the Budget? If so, he may need to rethink or bury his party.

Masterstroke? It's just typical opportunism a fringe party can indulge in. I am sure UKIP can come up with plenty of other bits of taxation it says we ought not to pay but its a bit short on how it will replace the lost revenue.

Being in opposition, especially in a party that has less than an outside chance of ever having a sniff of power must be the easiest job in the world, you can sit and criticise all day long for five years and no-one will ever ask your advice
Having said that its a pearler of a spoiler if Osborne genuinely was thinking about doing something about road tolls.

Whats wrong with charging those that use roads most for their use?
Its what a private market would do?
Or do UKIP live in some leftist fantasy that roads should be free at the point of delivery and paid for out of general taxation so that those that work the hardest are penalised for their hard work by paying the most, whilst the feckless and lazy pay little but can drive around the roads as much as they want?

Any examination of UKIP's economic policy boils down to one thing: "If we stopped paying the EU, we'd be quids in".

That's what the Lib Dems were thinking heading into the last election - didn't quite work out as they were expecting though
