The permanent government don't want us travelling. They want us trapped in our little community.
To introduce the 15 minute city agenda with little pushback, they need to normalise us staying put, so it becomes a learned behaviour. Just like working from home has after lockdowns.
So they add yet more tax on fuel. Couple that with ultra low emissions zones, and it becomes unaffordable.
Some will suggest that people can still use public transport, which is already too expensive, but transport also runs on fuel, and the extra taxes will be passed on to the public.
Bus fares caps have already gone up this week, and trains are insane money.
The permanent government also don't want us meeting up, and hanging out. They don't want us having a conversation over a few beers, because we might just twig that we're all being fucked over, and we might just put aside our differences, and confront our common enemy.
And so yet more tax gets thrown on top of alcohol.
The permanent government don't want us to have any joy whatsoever, and the owl faced demon Starmer and his gaggle, are more than happy to oblige.
Stay in your isolated little box, miserable and unfulfilled. Work your shift, pay your taxes, and shut the fuck up.
Kind regards,
The Permanent Government.
