60 Per Cent of Britons Reject Higher Taxes to Fulfil BoJo’s Green Agenda.
Justin Tallis - WPA Pool/Getty ImagesSome sixty per cent of Britons said they rejected the idea of paying more taxes to fund the Build Back Better green agenda of the supposedly Conservative government. The same number of respondents said that they did not believe that the green subsidies would benefit them personally.
A further 70 per cent revealed that they were concerned with the rising cost of energy during the Christmas holiday period, according to the poll commissioned by campaign group Net Zero Watch, reported by The Telegraph.
Commenting on the poll, Conservative MP and chairman of the Net Zero Scrutiny Group in the House of Commons, Craig Mackinlay told the broadsheet: “As I’ve been saying for some time, I didn’t become a Conservative to make my constituents colder and poorer. It’s clear, looking at these survey figures, that the British public are not signed up to the Government’s plans.
“They feel they haven’t been consulted or had their say. The majority don’t feel that government grants for air pumps or electric cars are either relevant to them, or more fundamentally needed to nudge them towards unreliable technologies they don’t want. And there is real worry about the ever-increasing costs of energy bills this winter.”
Tory MP and head of the Net Zero Scrutiny Group’s steering committee, Steve Baker added: “The cost of net-zero could deliver a political crisis greater than the Poll Tax, and these figures show that the Government is heading straight for such an eventuality.
“The British people are clearly deeply unhappy about paying higher taxes to help reach net-zero targets and feel they haven’t been consulted about the choices the Government are making. Breitbart.
