BROWNED OFF WITH GREEDY GORDON'S £1BN TAX HEIST? SEND HIM YOUR PROTEST TODAY.
www.Parctel.com: Ryanair, Europe's largest low fares airline today (1st March) urged passengers who are "browned off" with Gordon Brown's rip off APD tax to send him their protest before the final budget announcement on 31st March.
On the 1st of Febraury Greedy Gordon DOUBLED APD, his tax on passengers. As a result, he will nick £1bn from holiday makers this year. His claim that he is doing this to help the environment is merely a false pretence:
1. Aviation accounts for just 2% of CO2 emissions. If Greedy Gordon really did want to do something for the environment he would tackle the real sources of CO2, namely power generation (26%) and road transport (18%).
2. Ryanair has written twice to Gordon Brown asking him to explain what this regressive and ineffective tax will do for the environment. There has been NO response - Why? Because the answer is NOTHING!
3. Greedy Gordon is just using this tax to take more money from ordinary passengers and their £1bn will simply disappear into his pockets.
Calling on passengers to send their protest to Gordon Brown, Ryanair's Peter Sherrard said:
"Holidaymakers are "browned off"; because they know that Greedy Gordon's APD tax hike is just a scam for him to nick £1bn this year. Passengers flying with Europe's Greenest and Cleanest airline should not be subjected to Greedy Gordon's rapacious 36% tax grab on Ryanair's average £28 fare.
"This tax is clearly being levied under false pretences. It has nothing to do with the environment and everything to do with filling Gordon's pockets. Passengers should tell Gordon Brown to get his greedy hands off their holidays by protesting to ministers@hm-treasury.gsi.gov.uk".
