"MPs sceptical over car tax rise"

A ray of hope?

Nope.

Rather bizarre to find myself agreeing with ex-Minister Peter Kilfoyle (Lab, Liverpool Walton). There's more logic and commonsense in this single comment than in all the blathering from the politicians: "How can it affect people's choices that they made years ago? Trade in their car for an eco noddy car? How can they afford it as the second hand value of their current car has plummeted? Mark Ovens, Wilts"

And what the f*** is this: "A "car scrappage" scheme to pay drivers of high emission cars to switch to a more environmentally friendly model was also advocated - an idea welcomed by Friends of the Earth"?

Obnoxio points out the fatal flaw in this logic.
