    If you drive a diesel car you could soon be paying ?20 A DAY in a new tax in Government fight against pollution.



    Drivers could be slapped with charges in more than 30 city centres in a pollution crackdown

    MILLIONS of diesel car drivers could be forced to fork out ?20 a day for ?toxin taxes? under a new government crackdown on air pollution.

    The charge could be rolled out in 35 towns and cities across England, with diesels banned from the worst-affected areas or slapped with daily charges to stop them coming into town centres.

    The measures would only affect car drivers in up to 10 of the worst-affected cities, but would be rolled out for commercial diesel vehicles such as lorries, coaches and taxis in 25 other places.

    The number of diesel cars liable for such charges could be as high as 10million, with only the newest vehicles excluded.

    But experts slammed the ?staggering ignorance? of the Government?s plan to tackle toxic air.

    Campaigners pointed out that diesel vehicles are responsible for just 10 per cent of all emissions.

    Mayor of London Sadiq Khan will this week announce that from 2019, the most polluting vehicles will be hit with a ?12.50 daily charge when entering any part of greater London inside the North Circular and South Circular roads.

    The tax isn't about clean air. Its about control. Isn't the whole green moment about control. If you seek an answer just find out where the tax money goes.

    Look the whole debate about the environment is based on one big scam & merely an excuse in order to screw more money out of the public through hidden & open taxes. Anyone who actually believes that this or any other government has any real concern for the health & wellbeing of the population really needs to wake up. Our towns and cities are 100 times cleaner than 60-70 years ago due mainly to the elimination of coal fires & most of our heavy industry. Most new diesel cars are already fitted with DPF filter to eliminate pollution, our GOVT all greed to grab more money…

    Much better to buy a second hand fire tender, exempt all rules also allowed to barge anything out your way Free of charge

    PS
    To qualify as a fire tender all you need is a axe and fire extinguisher then get it type approved if I remember correct?
    A friend had a red Land rover approved that way to exempt MOT!

    It should also be noted, that during the very early 90's the government of the day made diesel cheaper than petrol, in order to get people to buy diesels. It's very misleading, and typical, of the Tory Comic to blame any labour government for anything they think they can get away with.

    Back on topic, the Red Arrows use diesel for the colours in their display, how much will they be taxed or will they be stopped?

    They will pull them out of the space where their brains should be, which is just above where the sh*t comes out every time they open their mouths. Green taxation is just an excuse to rip more money out of people who are already taxed from birth to death.

    Yes and soon there'll be an extra tax to pay for the NHS, which is already paid for by NI contributions and tax.

    Or we could use rapeseed oil in diesel a green zero emission fuel?
    "Rudolf Diesel was interested in using coal dust or vegetable oil as fuel, and in fact, his engine was run on peanut oil"
    So we got shafted very early on!
