UK 'private fuel tax' on AVTUR

Came across this earlier today: if I read it right and you're flying a JetBanger 'for fun' (ie not for business, either commercial ops or for your own), your costs will go up by around £57/hour, courtesy of HMRC.

I'm thinking of good arguments as to why this is stupid: the amount they'll gather in is bound to be exceeded by the bean counter costs, (this is the UK after all).
Jeesh, don't I pay enough tax to those grabbing sods already? And they never send me a thank you letter!
Reasoned arguments gainst need to be in by October 31st
