Gordon is a moron, but I think most Brits already knew that. Our idiotic PM is planning to raise tax on older ‘polluting’ cars to save “1.3m tonnes of CO2 and increase the number of clean cars” - his own words in parliament today.
This is a tax on people who can not afford a new car - plain and simple.
From a personal point of view, I have just sold my car and am thinking about buying an old cheap banger. It would be for emergencies only and would do very low mileage. It would produce a hell of a lot less CO2 overall than Joe Bloggs down the road, who has a lovely new car, but uses his car for every journey imaginable.
The Road Fund Licence is nothing but a tax on car ownership. We are already taxed hugely on fuel and this costs uneconomical (polluting) cars more. We do not need another ‘green’ tax when we already pay one.
Gordon Brown must really think we are stupid. He is earning extra VAT (which is a tax on the tax) on the fuel as it increases and the treasury coffers must be overflowing with this windfall. What the hell is he doing with this increased revenue that he could never have bargained for.
I. like many others, will vote for the lesser of the evils and I think Mr Brown is now the greatest of the evils.

OH MY GOD - I think I am becoming a Conservative supporter.
