PLAN?: Are petrol prices part of the conspiracy?
IS it possible that the Government has a secret agenda to bring back the village community?
The generous introduction of free bus passes for the elderly has now resulted in the buses being no longer commercially viable due to the reduction of government subsidy.
Now the increase in the price of fuel, exorbitant insurance for young drivers together with costly driving lessons, all force young people to move from their village homes.
The probable future will be that either villages will only have wealthy residents of a certain age range or that the village will create a fully functioning, working community as it existed 60 years ago.
