Lib-Dems versus The Motorist
And the big news from this year’s Lib-Dem beano in Bournemouth is the proposal to tax off-road vehicles punitively because they are responsible single-handedly for killing the planet. Zzzz! Taxing 4x4s is so last year. Look what happened to Livingstone when he proposed it.
Fact: 4x4s (or rather SUVs, which is what is meant) are already heavily taxed as they mostly sit in road tax Band G. That's my problem for choosing to support a British manufacturer, but the government profits.
Fact: SUVs use more fuel than "ordinary" cars, so the Chancellor gets lots more fuel duty, which is more tax. Again, my issue for choosing a Land Rover.
Lib-Dems, go back to your constituencies and prepare for another 5 years in the wilderness.
