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.Plus: Join the debate in the green living forum

Of course we are! where did everyone think the Billions lost in fag revenue was going to come from? The green issue's been about for decades, they never bothered then. Now things are tight, all of a sudden we are on the brink of extinction. Never fear though, the government has a plan to save the world which is; invent a load of ecological horror scenarios, then say we can stop all this by bleeding you workers until your eyes pop out. The workers will agree coz they're saving the world and the government rubs its hands together saying, "mugged them up again, simple isn't it".
