    That's not correct

    NEW electric car tax is going through the roof

    Those , like me , driving older petrol cars have been paying higher tax for several years now

    My car is ten years old, I have no intention of buying electric or hybrid until I have no choice

    It's going to cost me a few hundred more to tax my car from April but it's pointless me buying a new vehicle as even basic electric cars are expensive

    I am financially OK so will take the hit

          £180 a year I pay at mo be interesting to see what it is next year, it’s expensive enough to drive already, many can’t afford what’s now a luxury item. Why they doubling it for new electric cars?? Seems a bit harsh….

            Do you not know? A guy a bit earlier said it being doubled, seemed to know what he was talking about, so you'll be paying £360

                Luckily the rich are still able to afford huge mansions dotted around the world, ocean going yachts and a fleet of private aircraft, and miraculously emissions don't seem to be an issue for them, but yeah, carry on doing what they tell you!

                      I was wondering whether the organ grinder or the monkey would respond with some vague pseudoshite. Difficult to tell it apart sometimes.

                              Just had a search on the phrase "mass formation psychosis". Those who posted it were Mozzer, Organ Morgan, Wales-Bales, TWGL1 and HeathBlue.

                              Who said irony was dead, eh!
