Taxing us more isn't going to stop us flying.
If they actually took a look at the facts and figures of aviations contribution to pollution then they might realise we aren't large contributers. The fact is though, aviation is an easy thing to target, many people will support the government because they listen to what the media has to say and would basically believe anything. Then you've got the guys that live near the airports that don't like aviation either. We aren't on a winning team to be honest and I feel like the country is slowly but surely stamping GA out.
Take mode S for instance. Future plans with that - probably airspace tax. It's getting stupid. Soon only the rich will be able to fly or the poor the poorer to fly less.
I think your rant is justified supersport.
