3. Cars jumping red lights - fine £1000
4. Untaxed or uninsured cars - confiscate!
Will help all of us..

The UK, where the day after a decision to take half a million children out of poverty, the media & political world has been full of sneering at those same children & their families, labelling them as ‘Benefits Street’, while the same people are moaning about a tax on £2m mansions. Shameful stuff.

A huge and glaring omission. It's clear the Chancellor protects aviation's profits instead of making polluters pay. We urgently need a frequent flyer levy and fuel tax to fix this broken system. #MakePollutersPay #FlightFreeFuture
MISSING: Closing tax loopholes for private jets, taxing airplane fuel, a frequent flyer levy.
Why does the Chancellor have such a blind spot for anything that might tackle the excesses of the aviation industry? #Budget
