Why will this government not admit that the majority of its “green” measures are just effectively a secret additional tax – take cars for example we are getting taxed to death on the price of fuel, vehicle excise duty, company car benefits etc but we are too polite as a nation when are we going to sit up and take notice that we are being conned left right and centre. If you think that’s a bit harsh then think about it

• what is the cost of oil – has the price risen or dropped – what about the price of fuel
• Road fund tax – what is this being spent on because it certainly isn’t roads and we now have a “special” allocation in the Budget for road repairs – where is this money coming from?
• public transport – trains are like meat wagons but remember you’re not paying for a seat just the privilege of auditioning as a sardine
• allowances mentioned in the Budget are currently a sham – a reduction by half of the percentage used to calculate the taxable car benefit if the car has a CO2 emission level of between 0 -75g/km sounds good but the FACT is there aren’t ANY cars in this country with emissions this low, the lowest is 88g/km – so what an excellent “giveaway”
• Electric cars – where is the infra structure to support them
