Tax system is being ignored

We always knew it, but further proof – Supermarkets mess with our lives. And our taxes. And our life choices. And they do not care in the slightest about the environ-

ment.

The sugar levy notices are still there, but the prices for sugar-full and sugar-free drinks are identical again – whether or not they are on offer – in my local supermarket. So all of us drinking sugar-free are now subsidising the taxes of the sugar-full brigade.

They also have removed the only bio-degradable cling film from their shelves – I thought the whole point of going to the

supermarket was the range of choice.

I want to see a tax brought in on single-use non-biodegradable plastics – and I don’t want that to be evened out and ignored like the sugar tax has been.

I think the Government should fine supermarkets and manufacturers which do this – they are in effect ignoring this country’s taxation system. Janet Burton, Peterborough
