Crazy New Tax 2 - The Plastic Bag Tax

Incredible, but true. There's going to be a ten pence tax on the free carrier bags from supermarkets if current proposals get sanctioned.

The plan is that all supermarkets, and shops, that give out the free carrier bags will charge their customers 10p which is then handed over to the local councils.

The Government aim to get away with this by hiding under the Global Warming/Excessive Landfill/Non Bio Degradable argument. Maybe it's time for those old brown paper/card carriers to come back with the string handles.

Would it not, perhaps, be more prudent for the Government to subsidise Paper Manufacturers to make the brown paper carrier bags instead, and put their money where their mouth (apparently) is?
