Background
On Page 103 of the Blackstones guide to the Human Rights Act 1998 by John Wadham & Helen Mountfield It states these criteria for the test of article 8: (a) that an interference corresponds to a pressing social need (Sunday Times v United Kingdom); (b) that it is proportionate to the legitimate aim pursued. There is no social need for pay per mile, the existing system works fine. We believe the government has ulterior motives in addition to taxation moving us towards a China Gov model
