    time to emigrate? part 94

    http://uk.reuters.com/article/domest...24587620080526
    LONDON (Reuters) - Britain should consider giving individuals a personal carbon emissions allowance in order to help the country meet its CO2 emissions target, a report by a committee of MPs said on Monday.
    .....
    Introducing a personal carbon allowance -- whereby people would have to trade in credits if they wanted to exceed their own CO2 quota -- would be more effective and fairer than bringing in "green" taxes, the report by MPs said.
    So never mind the pump price, if you have no coupons left in your ration book then you will be forbidden to buy any more.

          I wonder how many car miles you'd gain by foregoing an air trip. One flight to Bankok or Australia would probably be worth 100,000 miles.

            Well done fella. Wish I had the bottle.

            I used to love this country, but perhaps I'm getting old, I just don't understand how things are going here. Cameras everywhere, so called 'green' taxes at every turn, embryo research (that is just fookin' nuts), smoking ban (I don't smoke, but I still think it is way way too harsh), databases, ID cards and that is just a snippet.

            Soon I'll lock myself away in a flat just reading the local papers and never answer the door.

              But you can buy more coupons off the great unwashed - lovely jubly sorted.

              HTH.

                  If I had sole residency I would leave. I intend to once the kids grow up - and I hope they will emigrate too. Leave this country to the chavs.

                    One tip for those that are considering this: make sure that there is a way that you can still get access to UK health care.
                    How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror.
