Dont roll over and just pay what they say, anyone who can say its only a pound has too much money, Spring Wood which started this subversive tax debate has a donation box for those that wish to support the site, and I bet some of those people that say pay for a ticket never put twopence in the box, deciding instead to keep their hand on their twopence. Right point made, back to business.

Yes, it is a slippery slope, even over here. Most hospitals have exorbitant parking costs, so we are in effect paying to visit the sick. It's part of their funding formulae. I avoid parking there whenever possible, as we pay enough tax to support them, I think.
