So the libs are professing to be the greenest party of the big 3.
They might be right, but are their ideas the right ones? I asked my subconcious......
What are their Plans?
Well they are anti nuclear, pro renewables and energy efficiency (no big shockers there) but they have decided to rock the boat with the main plan...
Which is?
Green taxes
Green Taxes?
If you repeat everything I say this could take some time!
Sorry..... Green Taxes?
Grrrrrr
No, I mean what are they?
Oh, simple really if you live a green lifestyle, you'll see a reduction in tax that you pay.
And I presume that means if you pollute you pay more?
See even you can get this!
How can they tax you though?
Easy, you drive?
You know I drive!
Play along will you! The amount of road tax that you pay will be according to how polluting your car is.
Oh, take it the same will go for utility bills?
Exactamo!
Are they offering incentives in return?
Surely that's incentive enough to get a greener car?
Well it would if I could afford to change car, I often have several thousand in the bank for such occurances!
No need to get sarcy with me! I haven't actually seen any as such......
....so they simply start taxing for polluting without any sort of incentive to make alternatives affordable?
Er....... looks like it
Oh thats nice of them! Do any of these MP's know that we don't all earn the £57k salary that they do?
Actually yes, they factored into these plans that the lowest earners don't pay income tax at all, but that's nothing to do with environment.
What so I'll get taxed extra for driving a polluting vehicle, and sub a section of the population without any sort of financial assistance to help out those of us just about keeping our heads above water?
And flying.
WHAT?
And flying, you know, plane, holiday.
Great, holiday in Devon then!
Well with climate change it'll soon be like the Costas anyway!
