"Families who reject green measures such as insulating their homes should be hit with higher council-tax bills, Energy Secretary Chris Huhne has urged.
The Liberal Democrat minister said he expected ‘enlightened’ councils to favour homeowners who made their properties more energy efficient".
This is not the first time I've heard this prat spouting dangerous 'Libdem green' policies. Does he imaagine for one second that the emerging economies of China, India and Brazil give a fuck about green issues? He and Clegg are going to bankrupt this country or at the very least hinder the recovery if he burdens businesses with unnecessary taxes. Money that should be going into promoting employment and growing businesses instead of hindering them!
It hasn't to the best of my knowledge happened here yet, but in Spain whenever a decent size shop shuts, it opens the next week as a 'Chinese Bazaar', selling all types of cheap, plastic shite. the worst thing is you enter at your peril or you end up with more crap that you will never use, that will end up at the back of your kitchen cupboard along with the microwave poached egg, toasted sandwich and bread makers.
I suppose when they cost fuck all to make then you can sell them for nothing. The Chinese don't have any workers' rights, they don't get a pension or disability benefit. Is that the measure of a civilised society?
Not in my book!
UPDATE-I REST MY CASE!
