Air travel should be rationed and frequent fliers should be taxed progressively according to how many trips they take. I have let my passport lapse and do not intend to travel abroad again, I hope to leave the semblance of a living planet to the future. Is there any doubt that the current pandemic was spread by the privileged and inflicted upon the underprivileged. Get all and additional taxation on individuals in the f**king sea until UK governments start collecting corporation tax at the legal level. Get all offshore tax status as well as other tax avoidance TF as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No I quite understand George, not everyone wants to stay in the 70s eschewing "improvements" in our lifestyle.... As we begin to see some light at the end of the Covid tunnel it is profoundly depressing to think that we emerge it will be at best to minor tinkering with environmental problems and heading into Austerity2 with the usual winners and losers...

Scotland is doing its utmost to provide renewable energy and indeed provides almost all of the current renewables to the NG. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't do that, my bed is a pile of cash.Sorry, I'm wrong, I thought I was Dicko there for a minute on my £150k night watchman's salary.

That's only one side of the equation, much of the good we saw in the April is liable to be thrown away if we just go back to full-on consumerism. It's not enough for me & Greta & I & I & Bob...

beyond our ken Posted December 1, 2020 Report Share Posted December 1, 2020 11 hours ago, Eric Arthur Blair said: Scotland is doing its utmost to provide renewable energy and indeed provides almost all of the current renewables to the NG. and would provide much more but for UK Gov's transmission charges and failure to invest in the cheapest technology-onshore wind. Company's in Scotland are investing in technologies such as green-hydrogen storage, battery storage and others without incentive or a viable route to market, hopefully energy policy will become devolved if we don't go for independence. The rest of the UK is actually fearful of Scotland's renewable potential Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So much for it being to reduce the congestion and not a money making exercise. PS. I get free parking this now so doesnt affect me. Yes.

Tommy Posted December 1, 2020 Report Share Posted December 1, 2020 It will be as cheap getting a airport taxi now instead of a private hire to Paisley. Oh, and we all know how much they love to moan about a local fare 😭 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, and we all know how much they love to moan about a local fare 😭 You’re right mate.If you’re going local you’ll be just as well jumping in an airport Hack.Next thing that will happen is a ban on picking up/dropping off at the garage,mark my words as it’ll happen.⛔️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tommy Posted December 1, 2020 Report Share Posted December 1, 2020 They’d be happy to take any fares these days Tommy.When I came back from Lanzarote a few weeks ago, the queue of taxis stretch right down to the end of the terminal building. Never seen so many before but with the airport doing cheap parking in carpark 1, they got no cash from me. I agree they will do all they can to stop private hires from dropping and picking passengers up unless from the pick up carpark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
