British families pay almost £800 per year in 'dishonest' green taxes
'Every family in Britain is paying nearly £800 a year in a 'dishonest' green tax grab, a shocking report said last night.
Hard-pressed households are forking out the staggering sum on flights, fuel and for their cars even though it is 'unnecessary', said low tax campaigners.
