Politicians, dontcha just love em'. 😡
Not this again.
Oh dear. Now go and actually read the original article in The Scotsman. Pay particular attention to the last line. The one where the Scottish Govt spokesperson says that there are NO plans to tax bicycles.
Such is the standard of journalism on this country that (a) what was once Scotlands leading quality newspaper is prepared to print such garbage and (b) the gullible and uninformed are prepared to repeat it [i]ad nauseum[/i]. You see, when you live north of the border, you learn to see through such unionist-leaning bile.
in fact the government has actually removed tax from bikes in the form of the cycle-to-work scheme.
