Bollocks

As BBC Five Live Drive is discovering as we speak, at least one of the headlines from the Chancellor's latest budget is a load of old bollocks.

He's whacked a load more tax onto the worst offending gas guzzling cars, and announced that the lowest-emitting cars will carry a zero rate of tax.

Wa-hey, you're thinking, I'll get a Toyota Prius. But no. Prius still costs £40 a year in tax. Only two cars actually qualify for the zero rate. One of them, a Honda, was discontinued two years ago. The other one, the Smart diesel, has never been available in the UK.

If there ever was a better illustration of what a bunch of lying shitfaced weasels this government is, I can't think of one. To have the naked ARSE to stand up in the commons and announce such a measure as if it was a Good Thing that people could actually take advantage of whilst knowing it was actually impossible, well hats off to Gordon. You truly are a worthy successor to Mr Loans-for-Peerages himself.
