This has to be a new low. The government has completely lost the plot.

Quote Mr Benn said that the report found the cost of introducing the scheme would be between £700 million and £2 billion, and would cost £1bn-£2bn a year to run.

So that's why they were so keen on trashing the 10p rate of tax - to fund this mess!! Ouch

Best regards,
Vulcan.

It's not the government that are proposing this, it's MP's, [The Environmental Audit Committee] who criticised the government for shelving it last time.
 
Still don't agree with it though.

Pandering to the like of that floppy haired woman on the one show. Pure (unfunny) comedy.
