Correct charges - wrong methods

So people are moaning about the doubling of the airport tax. Well if the UK government had decided to apply the increase for flights booked from a specified date rather than make pre-booked passengers pay again at the airports then there would have been less chaos. Also, would it not be better to have levied charges on the airlines instead? Get it right next time Mr Blair!

I can understand being charged for text messages that I have sent. However, these companies are charging for receiving messages. Yet it is so easy for someone to put a false number in for a club or marketing site and lo and behold I get charged for receiving messages. So I had to type STOP ALL to prevent this from happening.

I also think banks overcharge for overdraft and credit limit violations (why get charged every day for on a charge made for going over by 1p) and the government and the whole employment industry is driving people to pay for all training. Then I am told I cannot get work because of no recent work experience. Yet if I volunteer I cannot live in the accursed country. Yuk!
