Just cut out the locos

AFAIAK the EU is introducing these measures because our skies are being unneccesarily polluted by locos, carrying pax that should travel on coaches and trains. Locos offer artificially low fares by 'raping' secondary airports and regional governments. And when their special deals expire, they simply move on (see RYR's move from CWL to BRS). They are thus creating an unneccesary demand for air travel and and take great pride in carrying UK rejects to some of the most beautiful capitals of Europe, so they can cause havoc and throw up in the streets. The EU is sick and tired of this, and quite rightly so. Of course it wouldn't be politically correct to blame it all on the pax and MOL's arrogance, so we have to blame it on emissions. MOL, they are coming to clip your wings !!!! About time, too.
