I would not say more than one flight a year is a "frequent flyer". And what about connecting flights, in your authoritarian world how would you charge for them ? Who are you to be telling people how to live their lives anyway ? Oh I forgot, you are an authoritarian Leftie who is perfectly comfortable doing that, anything from restricting flying to forcing people to wear masks and get vaccinated for a virus they were at minimal risk from.

Do wake up - we already know that but we are discussing what's to replace it as petrol and diesel cars reduce, whilst electric vehicles and, maybe Hydrogen vehicles increase. Taxation receipts will obviously go down as petrol & diesel sales shrink but it will still be wise to charge those who do the most mileage, the most tax.

Not interested in what YOU would say because you are one of those causing the problems. I won't be charging and I won't be authoritarian because I am NOT the government. I am not telling you how to live your life as the government has responsibility for that. This is a forum where we share our views and I'm sharing mine at the moment.. In exactly the same way, you can share yours too. Are you ever going to discuss anything at all without referring to wearing masks or getting vaccinated. I have already said that you are obsessed and can't think straight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this the trick question or would you like to frame your question differently. If you mean my computer - then say my computer. Then explain why that makes a difference to the phasing out of petrol & diesel cars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know what type of device you are using, so device covers it. You are saying anyone who uses a plane (or is it car) is selfish, how did your device get to you, by canal boat? You have declined to answer how you power and heat your home, would that be because it undermines your eco credentials.
