Milk & Curry to be taxed

[jimi]

Cows & curry prroduce loads of methane which is significant in the greenhouse effect so I propose we shove a whopping great tax on milk and curry for environmental reasons of course

quite right, and a horse and cart generates more emissions than a car, so we'd better tax that too.

Perhaps we should have a "Sweat Tax" for when we all get rid of our engines and then have to row the bloody boat back to the marina ;-]

Well Jimi I have to sadly tell you that is essentially what was going to happen here but fortunately the government got stomped all over as a bunch of idiots for proposing it.

What was going to happen (only got backtracked on at the last minute after the government managed to find a face saving excuse to do so) was that farmers were going to be taxed for every sheep and cow they had because of their methane greenhouse gas emissions. One assumes that the cost of that tax would have flowed through to milk and curry here.

Ahh - that is what Wogan was on about with the farting sheep!

I think this is a sensible sugestion - one of the better ones to come from the fingertips of Wee Jamesie for some time - however, the proposed legislation does not really go far enough.
Having spent considerable time in close proximity to Para recently - I think we need the tax to cover him also

I understand that there is to be an exemption for Boycott Curry 'cos although it still gives you the runs they come more slowly!

Maybe his oozing hole has something to do with our ozone hole.

Will baked beans be also taxed in the same way?
