Daily Mail
"The European Union is preparing an extraordinary plan to tax Britons directly as part of an EU-wide charge on bank transactions or air travel.With European governments under financial pressure officials in Brussels are looking for alternatives to finance a growing EU budget.But the move is likely to spark a furious backlash in Britain and drive a wedge in the Coalition between the Euro-skeptic Tories and pro-Europe Lib Dems.The vast majority of the current EU budget goes toward subsidising farming and funding structural projects such as road building, while four per cent pays for the EU's civil service in Brussels."
