Default Sadiq's looming poll tax moment

It will be interesting to see if the Tories have the savvy to
recognise the political potential in this. So far, they've been
as out of touch with normal people as the other parties.


yep, that is what will save Sadiq

the Tories wont have the nerve to go to the polls with a policy of
reversing the "tax"

It's not like they even have to campaign to abolish it.

you just have to make it only apply to cars that are more 8-9 years old
(whatever Euro standard that is)


That'll be Euro-5 (2009-2011 phased introduction).

and wait a few years before applying it to the next standard

Making it apply immediately to cars that are only 2 years old is just
"unfair"


It's undue haste, certainly.
