British Yo-Yo Wants Domestic Air Travel Only For the Rich as Sacrifice to Gaia
Britain's Tories have their answer to RINOs — and to the phony global warming crisis. Allegedly conservative MP and former Minister for the Environment Tim Yeo wants to abolish domestic air travel for all but the wealthiest Brits to reduce carbon emissions.
Opines Yeo-Yeo:
There is no reason at all why people should fly around the UK, fly from London to Edinburgh, London to Scotland, London to Glasgow, London to Manchester, London to Newcastle. Those flights should be knocked out.
The way to "knock out" the flights is to tax them so outrageously that only upper class twit of the year types like Yeo-Yeo can afford them.
Allah isn't real, but his believers are highly dangerous. The same goes for man-made global warming.
On a tip from V the K.

Actually, getting the peasants off domestic flights is just phase one. Later in the statement, he says, "the long haul flights are harder to tackle." i.e., the peasants shouldn't be flying internationally either.

Only the regular folks have to sacrifice for Mother Earth, the rich twits like him never do.

And they still say that they are for the middle class?

No, the current crop of Wets running the party are for themselves. We're in strange times in this country, as I observed elsewhere. Labour is a strange hybrid of privatisation and public spending, the tories want to raise taxes and the liberal demcrats are calling for increased military spending... it's all backwards. All we need are nazis who like jews and it'll be a complete set. Oh wait! We have the BNP for that!
The world's gone mad, I tell you. Mad!

Does anyone know what you'd call the aircraft equivalent of a "limousine liberal"?
