i think they should. there is certainly a fair few old drivers who imo shouldn’t be on the roads.

however, at the same time by no means should we just pull the only means of transport (for many) from them.

the answer lies in public transport. and here comes the rant.

public transport is a necessity. we are facing a environmental crisis and now understand the urgent need for the change in how we use natural resources and what we pump into our atmosphere. blah blah blah we all knows it.

so why the fuck is it such a dire state. it is not down to the individul to sacrifice their everyday ease of life in order to go “green”, it’s the governments job to offer feasible, competent and affordable alternatives. the privatisation of the railways is disgusting.

all public transport needs to be nationalised. it needs to reach everybody and be a price which either makes it considerably less expensive than running a car, and more convenient. i’d go one step further and argue that it should be free.

for environmentalism
end our reliance on the oil trade (im not gonna go into how many foreign policy issues tht would solve)
for people.

fuck new labour. that haven’t got the right to use the word “labour” anymore. selling off our welfare state. bad as the tories.

sob a tear for the socialist left boys and girls.
