Taxing times for airlines

This morning on GMTV Gordon attacked the Tories airline tax plans saying:

“I am not going to penalise the holidaymaker and I am not going to penalise people who have got to travel for all sorts of reasons on domestic flights. I don’t think the Conservative proposals are properly costed or thought-out and I think people will be very angry about that.”

It’s interesting to note that Gordon relies heavily on domestic flights- last year he spent nearly £7k on flights. Gordon wouldn’t want that bill to rise…he might have to start getting the train.

    Either Brown has a short memory or he thinks we are mugs. What about his doubling of Air Passenger Duty in the Pre-Budget Report?
