The Cost of Carrying Labour's Luggage

The chief executive of Ryanair comments on a £10 impost which disproportionately affected low-fare airlines when Ryanair's average fares are barely above £30:

"Only Labour could invent a tax that penalises the poor and favours the rich. The UK needs a new Government because they are a group of witless, hopeless Scots whose solution to the recession is to tax your way out. If that was the answer Ted Heath would have been elected for six successive terms."
