PROGRAMME & EMPLOYMENT
Building work can not be done abroad, it is the only long term solution to unemployment. But we must start now, critical path analysis reveals that we need one hundred years if there is to be no crisis when the oil runs out. If the solutions I propose were used world-wide, traffic congestion and pollution would not be a problem and the third world as well as ourselves could enjoy a car and a bicycle per person not just one per family. The present political policy, by prohibiting parking is to reduce cars by 10%. Husbands will just go round and round the block while their wives shop. As car numbers rise each decade the negative restrictions will have to become more and more Draconian, until they are politically unacceptable. To use my enemies favourite word, this is not 'sustainable'. My FUNCTIONAL JUNCTION proposals are 30 times as effective, and when fully implemented will solve the problems of congestion forever, ie they are SUSTAINABLE. Your personal incredulity, that there would be no congestion, if every strap hanging tube traveller was an extra car on the existing roads of London is insufficient argument for me to climb down. You must find a fact or a calculation somewhere in my book that is wrong. But even if you do find several 10% errors that I have failed to see. I cover myself with 4 separate 100% arguments, in chapter 15 on CONGESTION If, after reading this synopsis, you still doubt that RADBURNISATION, ROADIONICS AND FUNCTIONAL JUNCTIONS, are capable of curing road congestion, pollution and accidents, in cities, even when everyone has a car which they are not frightened to use, you will have to read the 90 page illustrated book.
