Xenith?

I thought that the Tories’ anti–flying policies, announced over the weekend, sounded ridiculous and this article goes some way to explaning why they are. All the talk about “changing behaviour” using taxation is a euphamism for “people need to pay more tax so that poor people cannot afford to consume”. If they are to achieve anything, these policies require a reversal of progress and a reduction in standards of living for the non–elite.
