Brown says no to holidays, with taxes!

Soon people such as ourselves won’t be able to go on holiday overseas, and no it’s not because the environment needs us to stop. Is putting prices up really going to save the environment, or is it just going to get people all riled up, clearly Brown knows he can’t win any popularity contests now.
Gordon just wants to make sure that he can leave us all with some presents before he is booted out of his current position. Gordon, would like to give us some extra taxes and fares to pay, to maybe try and stitch us up a little more. So up go taxes. I would rather call them Brown taxes, for several reasons (I will let you use your imagination). So this is going to cost us, the average person an inordinate amount of money, in fact for four people to go to Florida, will cost an extra £180, so that’s an extra £42.50 each. Now if you ask me that is quite a bit of cash.
However are you still one of those people saying, well its only £42.50…. There is a surprise for all of you, the price is going to dramatically increase each year. So prices are going to soar each year. So next November it will be an extra £240 (£60pp) and then the following year would take it up to £340 (£85pp). So what does this mean, is it all long haul flights that are effected, that’s OK, you can still go to Spain? Unfortunately not, although the prices won’t go up quite so much, there will still be an increase. However it means holidays to America are going to be somewhat more expensive, so does this mean that America will see a drop in Tourism form the UK?
Where will we be able to get by arguing about it (a chance to meet Brown? Wooooo…..)? Don’t forget that as normal people of the country, were not smart enough to help make decisions? St Lucia holidays, Barbados holidays and weddings abroad, wave good bye to them all, it’s going to be a dull next few years.
