"Retailers are "surprised and dismayed" after a £1bn environmental stealth
tax was revealed in the Comprehensive Sending Review yesterday.

It has emerged that money put into the Carbon Reduction Commitment (CRC)
scheme by participating business will not now be recycled back to those
companies with good environmental performances, but will instead be returned
to the Government."

What did the idiots expect when voted for the 'clone of Maggie" and power
hungry 'Cleggie'?

Whatever it was, many of them certainlt had a surprise - some people never
