Dear Mr Laxton,

As one of your constituents, I write to express sincere and heartfelt contempt for Alistair Darling's proposals to introduce "pay-as-you-go" charges for motorists using public roads.

It seems to me that this is another example of the people who pay for our country's infrastructure being penalised by people who don't. Those who use public transport receive their own bus lanes, generous subsidies and even free rides in many cases, while the hapless motorists who already pay through the nose via road tax, taxes on fuel and more recently a congestion charge, will get hammered again - yet another example of Labour politicians buying power by forking out money predominantly supplied by taxpayers who wouldn't vote for them in the first place, a practice you have turned into a fine art.
 
Additionally, I find the notion of my every private car journey being monitored and recorded by the state profoundly repugnant.

Yours sincerely,
James Gibbon
