Question

http://driving.timesonline.co.uk/tol/life_and_style/driving/article3842848.ece

So not only raking in extra money from the tax on fuel, again the motorists are going to shell out again.

Answer 1

nope i'm not and are you surprised???

Answer 2

That's total c**p IMO. I can't give up my car, my job is 25 miles away from where I work now because I moved in with my mother to help her out and to take care of her and her home- and the grocery stores are at least 3-5 miles away.

People can't afford to not have a car nowadays.

Answer 3

I hope people are sensible at the ballot box come the next general election..

Answer 4

I would like to know where the money is going to, I have not seen anything that has improved anybodies life so far from these tax increases.  Out of the whole world we pay more for our fuel.  Are they trying to tell us that there is a fuel/Oil shortage and we all have to use less or find alternative transportation.  This will be OK for people living in built up areas but not for the ones in rural areas where we will be shut off and have to go back working the land etc.

The Government is no longer lessening they are too corrupt and greedy.  They have lost touch with what they are there to do in the first place, they are there to be our voice but it has fallen on deaf ears.

I would choose carefully before selecting another government when the time comes, we have already be shafted by Labour, can we trust anyone else to do even a better job?

Answer 5

your right in this day and the age and out of town shopping i fell sorry for the old folks without cars for the every day things but voting this time we will have to watch what we are voting

Answer 6

What makes it better, is that MPs don't even pay their own tax; they claim it back on expenses and we pay it as taxpayers.  So we pay our own higher tax, and MPs' too!!

Lol I hate this country's leaders!

Answer 7

Motorists are an easy target, under the guise of 'protecting the planet'. If ALL of Britain's cars were taken off the road tomorrow the effect on the World's CO2 production would be a mere drop in the ocean but they still tax us to the hilt.

I will never give up my car and will make sure my carbon footprint is as large as I can make it, to pay these prats back.

We can always vote this Labour lot out at the next election but can we be sure the Tories (under 'green' Cameron) would

cut these ridiculous taxes??? Well it's worth a try.
