Maybe if the council bothered to switch its lights off at night it wouldn't need to raise taxes in this dispicable manner.
Nail firmly hit on head!
Going off on a bit of a tangent..
Carbon emissions are pretty much recognised as leading us to oblivion - but why pick on any one particular potential CO2 emitting item such as a car?
You can own a bloody humvee and cycle to work during the week and still produce less co2 than some numpty in a 'Pius'. The type of car you drive is irrelevant - its how much you drive it that counts. Plus you could live in a draughty old barn and use more co2 to heat it than you save running a low emission car.
'Green' taxes are headline news again tonight, but there is very little clue as to what will happen to the additional revenue? It'll probably just get lost in subsidising the workshy civil service. Where's the commitment to better public transport and investment in low carbon technology R&D?
Its all bollocks anyway, forget wind and solar power and all that crap. The world needs to ignore the scaremongering great unwashed and go nuclear, and develop fuel cells and home grown biofuels to run cars so we can be a self sufficient nation.
