LibDems Propose 1000% Tax Rise!

It could be a sign that the LibDems are ready to offer radical solutions to the global warming crisis - always easy when there is no chance you will form the next government.
In an attempt to paint David Cameron as all sledges and soundbites, the LibDems have announced a proposed 2000 pound a year road tax for the most pollutioning vehicles. **
Airlines would be taxed per flight instead of per passenger, making half-full flights more expensive for consumers.
The Tories have hit back, pointing out that fuel duty has not proved an effective deterrent in the past. They are waiting for the outcome of a policy review led by environmentalist and posh totty Zac Goldsmith.
If Cameron can deliver policies that directly challenge business, then we really will have a green election in 2009.
** my pound signs dont work!!
