re: tax increases

Doubled the duty on flights..from the 1 st Feb 07 short haul additional £5, long haul additional £10 if you booked after the 6th December 2006 you will be asked by some airlines to pay the additional costs or risk losing the seat. BA have waivered the cost to customers. booked before the 6th (budget) you should be okay.
Sucks.. more tax, and now theres plans to assess you council tax yearly incase you improve your home by adding a con or extention.
Vote PP. YOU KNOW HE MAKES SNOW.

A lot of people say why should we change, its just a cycle the planet is going through. Simple argument. What if you are wrong!! I do all I can do help the environment and I still fly to go skiing. The govt has ...

The govt has gone about this the wrong way but we all need to help a little and if I'm wrong about global warming we don't lose anything but gain clean mountains.
This is not the place for me to preach but lets all think about our kids rights to enjoy the snow and mountains.

re: tax increases

It would help a lot if that money went towards improving the railways and getting people of planes for domestic flights. £5 each can help a hell of a lot. Problem is I doubt Brown will spend it on the correct things.
