So here’s a new idea.

People who have essential services get to pay a cutesy new tax to fund provision of  those services to people who do not have them:

The Prime Minister said a fast internet connection is now as vital as electricity, gas and water, and will help the country’s communications industries pull Britain out of the recession.

We here deep in the vukojebeni British Boonies do not have mains sewage.

So I favour a new ‘levy’ on those who do, to help pay for getting it to us.

Or do our regular and indeed vital ablutions not deserve the same fair play that those of other people enjoy?

Discrimination!
