Subject: RE: BS: Ban on cars over 10 years old (EU)?
This has nothing to do with "emissions," people. Doesn't Britain have one surveillance camera for every person now? This is just about more surveillance.

They can't track old cars using GPS systems. You'll be presented with a distasteful option at first--the outlawing of all old cars. Debate will ensue, then a compromise will be reached--you'll be able to keep your old cars, IF you retrofit them with "emissions control devices." These devices will incidentally contain tracking chips. The retrofit devices won't contain kill switches, but at least the government will be able to track and tax you with them.

Say no to big government. That guy with the axe in Australia had the right idea.
