Another Labour Stealth Tax

This Labour government is fast becoming a parody of itself. The latest wheeze is to tax employees if their employer provides parking spaces. What a fantastic idea, let's stick to London for the moment.... So the employee can choose to travel on the already over-crowded public transport system (assuming there is a suitable route), or cycle (because we all live within 10 miles of work), or walk (because we all live within 4 miles of work), or work from home (thus increasing energy consumption) or PAY THE TAX thus helping Gordon Brown cover part of his financial black hole. I assume that this tax won't apply to overweight Scottish politicians who live less than a mile from their place of work but still get driven there in a chauffeur driven car - of course not!
