iansheff Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 As the saying goes "we are all in this together" There comes a time when the pain needs to be shared out more equally, you cannot keep hitting the workers with ever more indirect taxes. This tax is a tax that cannot be avoided, unless of course you are a worker that happens to live on the end of a bus route or you work within walking distance of work/home. I think its time for the chancellor to look elsewhere other than getting ever more money out of the motorist who goes to and from work. They are, I read today that there is going to be 10p on a pint of beer in the budget. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iansheff Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 Gormless George won't cut the tax on fuel to restart the economy by getting people to spend more but fellow Tory John Redwood was saying cut the 50% tax rate for the high earners to restart the economy. All in it together, what a joke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xt500 Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 It's because Iran stopped oil to the UK as of yesterday. Expect more rises in next few weeks. Maybe we should ship it from America then because its only $3.70 a gallon there! High fuel prices have nothing to do with Iran or anywhere else,were just being ripped off plain and simple!

jonjo2 Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 What I can't get my head around is the fact that diesel is so much dearer than petrol, when it used to be cheaper. Apparently we don't make enough diesel any more so we are a net importer of it as a nation! We must use more diesel than petrol, (think of all the hgv s buses etc) so why don't we make more of the bloody stuff so we don't have to import it? hi when propane gets used more than disel that will overtake diesel price too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All in it together, what a joke. They have to get the money from somewhere to pay for education, nhs, arm forces benefits etc etc, where do you think the money comes from? if they cut tax on fuel they have to put it on something else, petrol can be counted as luxury since you can use buses/tram for most of your needs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonjo2 Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 The price of things now make one despair. In the last week alone my standing order fuel bill has risen by £20 . My pet insurance by £5 [not fuel i know] this on top of other price increases that one suddenly realises have occurred means that my old age pension no longer covers my out goings. Perhaps our members of Parliament do not realise the situation we are in. hi they know only to well but ignore it but they increase the money that they give away to these never ending black holes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
