Government is bad for your health

New Labour bribed motorists to pick diesel-fuelled vehicles on spurious global warming grounds. Now, we’re being told that particulates emitted by diesel engines are the cause of lethal air pollution in cities, and owners of diesel-engined vehicles are going to have to pay a pollution tax to drive into 16 cities. Which won’t do anything about air pollution but will put cash into the government’s coffers to fund the next assault on the nation’s health.
