Today's "What Gets My Goat" - NO POLITICS!

[fazersharp]

Think about it, that tax people are willing to pay be it - climate levy / fuel tax / green tax /Congestion Charge  doesn't all go into saving the planet it go's into building more roads and weapons and chemicals - all not renown for their green credentials.

I think you will find that the intended purpose of these taxes is to change behaviour
London Congestion Charge
Climate Change Levy
Air Passenger Duty
Vehicle Excise Duty variable rates
etc


Never heard of the 'Green Tax'? Something to do with cabbage?  :rolleyes

You really believe the spin the of "the intended purpose of these taxes is to change behaviour" then good for you that is totally your choice and right to believe what you need to. Who's behaviour do you think these regressive taxes in the name of the environment  will change -- the rich which the left (you) hate or the poor who can not afford the fuel tax - brand new low co2 cars and haven forbid they treat their family to a little holiday via a plane or even put in a little extra fuel in their old cars to drive to the coast for a few days . Typical left champagne socialist liberal elite attitude. Those policies are  not going too well for Macron right now. And the London congestion charge is just accelerating the economic cleansing of the capitol but maybe that's your plan.
