A report in today’s Sunday Telegraph finds that a Lincolnshire pupil withdrawn from a private school by here parents because of an additional VAT bill of £3,270 is now being transported to a school 25 from home by taxi at a daily charge of £42.05, or an annual charge of £8,199.
There is no end to the vindictiveness of this socialist government.

On another point, a taxi driver out there is doing a hundred miles a day for £42!

Maybe it's a shared ride and the £42 is the individual cost.

Maybe it is someone putting in a stupid price and the driver being stupid enough to do it.

So some idiot is doing a run that is 100 miles a day for £42.05, is there no end to drivers stupidity?
