So we're suggesting that air traffic shouldn't be taxed further so that people on lower incomes can go on holiday??? Thats the biggest load of bol*ocks I've ever heard!. Instead we tax the motorist??!! There was a day when people who couldn't afford to go on holiday made do with a break in the UK, why should I have to subsidise air travel, because that's in effect what it boils down to, so that people who might not be able to afford it otherwise, can go on holiday! In addition to pay as you drive, they now introduce a ridiculous congestion charge for Manchester... to include the M60!!!! If we had an underground system identical to London's then I'd be all for it... but we don't and we won't. And quite frankly if you think I'm going to sit on two busses every morning that are never on time, will increase my journey into work by in excess of an hour, and sit next to some guy who wants to give me his life story, or even worse a group of kids on a sugar high then you're sadly mistaken. It's not about the environment it's about squeezing more money out of people who actually have the nouse to get off their backsides and work for a living!!! And if that sounds Tory then so be it!
