so the most diplomatic and effective way of stopping global warming problems is by taking pieces of paper of people while they carry on destroying the planet
This countries answer to any problem even a environment problem is "just put a tax on the fuckers"
This countries going backwards
my prediction...... this place is gonna become fucked in all ways
If you think higher taxes wont discourage the use of these vehicles, particularly when they are in the "bargain basement 500 quid or less" section of the paper you are naive.
Tax DOES work as a means of persuading people, if it didnt, I would be driving an old 60s yank V8 right now in fact, I love them but cant afford the fuel on one as a daily driver while I do 1K miles a week frequently.
