Are we paying too much in ‘green taxes’?

The average British family dishes out £800 a year on taxes levied on flights, fuel and cars to help the government reach their carbon footprint targets.

Do you think the taxpayer is being held to ransom in the name of environmentalism? Or are these taxes essential in the fight against global climate change? Share your thoughts.

    This Global Warming and Green Taxes is tje biggest Con Game of the Century. The World Leaders dont give a hoot about Global Warming.
    They have been gifted with a Solution to get the Public on their side to take more money out of their pockets. Where will all this extra Tax Revenue end up. Well most of it will go to Whitehall Quangos or MPs Expense Allowances. They dont even have to contribute to Oension Scheme,they already robbed ours..
    They even had a Quango Report last week that Divorces were going down (Big Deal) that was blindly obvious since Marriage Rates are the lowest for years. Next thing they will be telling us,there is fewer horses on the road.
