Our roads are becoming more filled with vehicles, delays are becoming longer, and motorists are becoming more frustrated.
Due to this increasing road congestion there is an EU proposal designed to take a radically different approach to address the problem. Drawing on the experience of cities which have used other traffic reducing exercises - traffic reduction exercises such as determining whether a vehicle is entitled out on the road based on odd or even license plate endings or odd or even years of vehicle registration or alternate alphabetical letter license plates - the new directive aims to cut down the amount of activity on our highways.

The proposal is simple and consists of two points. Firstly, rather than drawing on the characteristics of the vehicle the new measure bestows the entitlement based on the characteristics of the driver. Secondly, the entitlement is one of being allowed to park the vehicle rather than drive the vehicle. A vehicle found to be parked anywhere other than in a designated parking space or on private land, and not owned by a driver possessing the correct characteristic, will be removed and crushed.
The first characteristic revealed in the directive is that of 'aesthete'. The characteristic will be changed frequently and regularly. Questions have been raised about how this characteristic will be quantified, but this has already been established and can be discovered if one cares to examine the original ratification. I've summarised some of the quantifying rules below.
To determine whether there is entitlement due to fulfilling the criteria of 'aesthete' a panel will be assembled which consists of Turner prize judges and former Masterchef finalists. This panel will review the lifestyle of the applicant and issue notification of parking allowance or alternatively enforcement of non-vehicular use.
That all seems pretty sensible and straightforward, who would not want to be considered a person of taste and culture and be allowed to park on that basis.
Unless I've underestimated the audience it should be obvious this is made up.
Alternatively if this was published in the Daily Express, The Telegraph, The Daily Mail or The Sun it would immediately be believed by those untroubled by the need to find out facts - I'm talking about you, brexiters.*

* These four newspaper groups are responsible for over 40 years of lies and misinformation on the subject of the EU. These papers are all owned by billionaires, members of the elite who fund and sponsor right wing lobbying groups and organisations such as UKIP. These people would probably paraphrase these words misattributed to Hermann Goering and say, "whenever I hear the word culture, I reach for my Browning!"
