A simple solution - scrap car tax competely. Put a proportionate increase onto petrol. The higher petrol use; the higher contribution. High mileage drivers will pay per CO2 unit, and low users wil pay less. Pay as you go. Car tax dodgers will have no option but to pay their way.

This is not a retrospective tax. People with gas guzzling cars are making a daily choice to keep them on the road instead of getting something smaller and more economical instead. Until your average bloke can no longer afford to run a 2.0 litre car we won't see an end to congestion and pollution.

MP's have to go never mind Brown, I have not been on holiday since 1997, and wont be going any where any time soon, Thanks to brown.

We need a Government of the people, by the people for the People, not of rich toffs!

MR W Jones, Liverpool, England

I Have just read in todays Times about MEPs having so called Binges across Europe in the pretence of meetings which is costings the taxpayer £100 of thousands ,this is where our money goes.
I believe a revolution is in order to rid ourselves of these criminal MPs

Jenny, manchester,

There really should be a mechanism in place to allow us to remove Rogue Governments, instead of having to wait for the next general election.
So much damage is being done by this Government, the lies deceit and fraud, not to mention broken promises and the signing of treaties without Consent.

If MPs are to vote on retrospective vehicle taxes, where will it end? Such a vote will set a precedent for all taxes to be reviewed and changed retrospectively. This should not be allowed to happen – more stealth taxes, but backdated by 8 years!!!!

Another tax grab that has gone wrong for Stalin Brown and his Scottish side kick, "Robbin" Darling. Brown got away with his tax pilfering for so long as TB was in the spotlight.Now its on him and the country doesn't like what is sees.

Time for him to go home.

Andy M, London,

All this moaning.
Just do want MP's do and put the cost on your expense claim form

First of all the government fails to act years ago to install nuclear power stations to reduce our reliance on fossil fuels especially with the new hydrogen vehicles now being road tested by Honda, and now they want to tax the populace for their failings. Get this failed government out now.

steve eason, nottingham, uk

Why does this government think all people have money ? they are sucking the life blood out of the country with Direct Taxes and stealth Taxes, we cannot afford to live now so why are they intent on destroying everything we work very hard for? As one Twit said, we should all be Happy?? Yeah right.

John Hackett, Nr Louth, England

ken, hernebay, england

we keep getting taxed but have nothing to show for it, oh silly me, i forgot it costs nearly a million pounds to keep each drug user happy, and of course there's the rise for mp's expenses for their "other "houses, and lets not forget the money we waste on scroungers every year, and the list goes on
