permission from his landlord to travel out of the county. Apparently, some people think that was a good idea.
The UK Government is not just interested in using global warming to raise new green taxes and to further hike fuel costs, but it is also contemplating allocating "personal carbon allowances." The way these work is that you will be granted a fixed amount of carbon to use each year. Each time you travel in a plane, buy petrol, go shopping or eat out would be recorded on a plastic card. The more frugal could sell spare carbon allowances to those who want to "indulge" themselves. But if you were to run out of your carbon allowance, you could be barred from flying or driving.
The government will thus be able to prevent its citizens from traveling both inside and outside the United Kingdom under the guise of managing carbon allowances.
Just bloody amazing. We've got problems with the governmental attitude on driving that 'driving is a Privilege', which I consider absolute bullshit: to say you have a right to travel but no right to personal transportation is nonsense. But none of the idiot politicians have tried to pull something like this on us. As yet. I'm sure Kennedy & Pelosi & Schumer & Clinton & Co. would just love to.
Fortunately, even they realize what would happen if they did: tar and feathers are so hard on the complexion.
