Good job SCOOB.

Treasury 'pockets extra ?10bn' from green taxes | the Daily Mail

Billions of pounds are being raised in green taxes with little or no reward for environmentally-friendly consumers, according to two new studies.


Each British family is paying ?400 more in green taxes than it would cost to cover its carbon footprint, according to the TaxPayers' Alliance.


It says green taxes raised ?21.9billion in 2005 - ?10billion more than the social cost of that year's carbon emissions of ?11.7billion.

@Red cv,
Aint socialism awesome?

Sad thing? Parliament is convened under Royal order, no Constitution exists, so the people really can't claim any of Parliament's actions as "illegal" like we can.

Hang King George!!!!

@Drnaline,
LOL Socialism is a cancer, those who follow it's idiology are at best boardline retarded. No offense meant but really who wants to be told how to live from day to day? A nanny nation for a State Cheque, shakes head, working for a living is easier than wallowing in socialist warped ethos.
