EU Taxation - Here It Comes

[HD Adam]

Ok, so you didn't vote UKIP and CMD says he can't do anything about that well known "tidying up excercise" known as the Lisbon Treaty.

Shame really because it's now going to cost us.

Today Janusz Lewandowski, the commissioner in charge of the EU's budget, announced he intends to press for a new EU tax.
Brussels is getting ready to activate Article 311 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, which says.......

'The Union shall provide itself with the means necessary to attain its objectives and carry through its policies.'

It doesn't matter whether it's a tax on banks, air travel, fuel duty, road pricing or a wking tax.
The Govt. has already dismissed the plans but under EU law, The EU now has a right to raise money directly and there's nothing that you, me or Dave can do about it.

Or is there? Discuss.
