The large increase in coverage of the issue over the last twelve months?

I reckon that has had a certain impact, although I don't think it has come from that. It might be, I just don't know it. But I would like to believe that over time I have developed these opinions. I think it was much like T&F saying that he liked to think he had developed the idea that he was a communist on his own, when in reality he conceded it was probably partly down to yourself and his environment around him (ie family etc) which made him a communist.

The problem we have with cars is not that they aren't expensive enough, the problem is the lack of a decent public transport system.
Cars are expensive.
But so is catching the train, bus etc.
We need a cheap, clean and cost effective public transport system. I also think we need more trams and more tubes (outside of london) especially in cities like Birmingham.
