“You know the Lib Dems have MPs and MSPs in Orkney and Shetland, Scotland. Up here, residents get 40% off all flights to/from Scottish mainland, and can park for free, as long as they want. Did I mention all their airports are run by the local authorities, and there is no ridiculous £5 charge!

Cornwall Council could learn a lot from these two councils.”

“We all contributed to the green house gasses. But we didnt all get to profit from it. Why not go after the companies that do not invest in cleaning up their act. And leave my pensioner mum who goes on one trip a year alone.”

“Or they could raise some money by cutting the number of Councillors and MPs and the ridiculous amounts of expenses they can claim. Do we really need so many MPs for Cornwall?”

“What is the point in Britain cutting and taxing its emissions when it only makes up 2% whilst China, India, Russia and America make up more than half alone of all worldwide CO2 emissions!”

“Trust the Liberals to come up with this one. Its a good job this party will never form a Government. I travel from Newquay to Manchester a couple of times a year and it winds me up having to pay the current £5 development charge. What they are doing is asking the paying passenger to part fund the airport. But what happens a few years down the line when its grown and making money, the people paying this charge aren't shareholders so will not be enjoying any of the profits.
Over fifty years ago a little patch of land up north was turned into an airport called Ringway. Five local councils owned and ran it. Today it is Englands third airport "Manchester International". The thing is it got there on its own without ripping off passengers. The green Liberals eh, are they the same greens who have been conning the tax payer with their rip off parliamentary expenses scams?? Sod off to Carland Cross and blow on a windmill.

“:| Word is, he wants to to surcharge every family with more than 2 cars if they don't become vegetarians. . And he will only wave it if they swear allegiance to Brussels, support the South West Regional Development Agency, and buy a bicycle.”

“Why all the fuss ? It's not like the Fib Dems are ever going to be involved in Government.”

“Clegg will have the Lib Dems back wearing open sandals with patterned socks, longish hair and smoking pipes.

Just hope he continues like this and the electoral pounding predicted for the Lib Dems in the 2010 general election, following on from the Euro elections in June, will be accurate.”

“can some one with something between their ears come on here and tell us without getting on their high horse which is the most polluting per passenger mile , a modern turbo-prop carrying 50 people for 1 hr 40 mins or a diesel loco pulling 3-400 tons of train for 5 hrs carrying 200 people ? I have never actually seen any simple , unbiased figures that allow the public to form an informed opinion.”

“"Lib-Dem leader Nick Clegg insisted the new green tax proposal ¿ which could raise £400 million a year ¿ was needed to send a clear message to people to cut their emissions." - Unfortunately like most politicians old Cleggy is living in lala land. Will it make any difference, no, why? Because theose that can afford to take internal flights now will continue to do so, those that can't will simply take to their cars. Either way pollution with be the result. Don't you braindead politicians realise as much as you want people to stay home and do nothing your wish is simply not reality. Tax people as much as you like it will make no one bit of difference. It will simply create inflation. If you actually focused on the real issue that is that there are simply too many people on the planet, rather than wasting your time with ill-thought out ideas then maybe, just maybe you will actually deal with the 'green' problem.”
