Hell if anybody suggested that in Tenerife I would have taken the glass and sniffed what was inside.
Looking at Govt suggestions that council tax gets replaced with a % property tax is not a Tory idea. Think the unthinkable on Aviation, you may not be right but the old ways have changed and Covid / Climate change will be used.
In 2019 UK tourists spend £62 Billion abroad, where as overseas visitors spent £28 billion in UK. It is not unsurprising that Govt would want UK residents to spend money in UK.
