WHAT you’ve been saying on our Facebook page:

LANCASHIRE residents could soon be taxed when visiting Wales (April 18):

David Timson: Why do we not tax the Welsh when they visit England then and the Scots when they visit?

Katie Walton: With the price of petrol and the cost of living going up who would be able to afford to pay tax on top of holiday accommodat­ion and the cost of getting there. Have these people no common sense! It’s not going to tempt tourists to visit and spend money there that’s for sure! Christine Rice: Think Edinburgh planning on hotel charge. I’ve had to pay hotel charge in Athens and Majorca and I wasn’t happy at all. I think very unfair. I’ve never been to Wales but now this I doubt if I’ll ever visit Shirley Southward: How would they police this? It’s not as if you have to show a passport. If this happens I won’t be going there. Jean Rio Alderson: Will it never end

Carl Sanderson: I’ll not be paying it. I’m sure Scotland will be happy for me to spend money in their shops etc.

Adrian Sykes: Well that

will kill the tourist trade. Elaine Hargreaves: We usually holiday in Wales at least once a year but I won’t be going again if they decide to penalise me for it.

David Kidd: Just like everything in London is more expensive than the rest of England, yet that isn’t a Tax?

Steven Hacking: Tax tax tax. The world has gone mad

Barbara Smith: Just won’t be going to Wales anytime soon

Margaret Elizabeth Kirby: I won’t be going. Eddie Beetham: When road milage charges come into force I’ll camp in my own back yard

Heather Marney: Simple don’t go then

David John Wyld: Simple. If they do I won’t be going.

LANCASHIRE people were fined thousands of pounds over lockdown as Prime Minister Boris Johnson is to pay just

£50 (April 13):

Sam Kotero: The people who were fined hundreds or thousands of pounds should demand their money back. I would be absolutely enraged if it were me. There’s no justice.

Jackie Carter Jefferson: No surprise

Martin Gallagher: The country is a joke.
