Greenwash 

Greenwash is Environmental bollockspeak often uttered by the UK Labour government, which is their way of justification for higher taxes when it needs extra cash for its dry coffers.
Removal of rolling 25 year road tax exemption for classic cars. Initial 'reason' in 1997/98 was financial loss to the Treasury due to the increasing number of 25+ year cars on the road. Then when more recently challenged via a Downing Street petition, Gordon Clown cited 'environmental reasons' for the withdrawal of the rolling exemption. Gordon Brown? More like Gordon Clown! This is pure Greenwash
