The problem LTNman is that I’m guessing you like myself live in the south in close proximity to London market and more specifically have a busy airport nearby. The tax was always very London-centric, the assumption being that because we can jump on a train to almost anywhere everyone can and should. Our viewpoint may be very different were we to be residing in Exeter or Isle of Man.
One good thing about our new Government is their fragile landslide which comes only from the midlands/north will hopefully force some better and tangible regional policy.
