On the way to work this morning, I saw a woman put her daughter into the back of her Chelsea Tractor and drive her no more than 80m to the bus stop at the end of the road. With people like this on the road, I'm all for taxing the petrol guzzling Sloans up to the eye balls.
But it's not just the gentry of Belgravia which are affected by the recent announcement to increase taxes on vehicles with higher emissions, self-employed tradesmen will catch the brunt of the indulgences of the wealthy trying to keep up with the Jones'.
