Even based on value and CO2 it discriminates against the poor.

Bollox.

So you think a tax based on car value and CO2 emmissions takes into account
ability yo pay? Explain?

The poor cannot afford a car

Because of artificial costs (VED, Fuel Duty, Insurance, MOT, Congestion
Charges) added by the government.

- Congestion Charging makes bus travel quicker,

There are no buses here.

(and cheaper if the proceeds are used to subsidise public transport),
therefore the poor benefit.

Not where there are no buses.
