On top of the already ridiculous UK taxes that recently took effect?

It's becoming increasingly difficult to justify visiting or transiting the UK.

And what is the rationale for exempting the once-a-year traveler? While his or her contribution to airplane-induced pollution will be substantially less than that of a much more frequent traveler, it will still be something and should be taxed accordingly if these unwelcome new taxes actually become a reality.
