Blackpowder Posted September 30, 2010 Report Share Posted September 30, 2010 Well I thought when we got the disgusting new labour crowd booted out of Office that an co-olition of more rural sympathy ministers would show some consideration to those who live away from regular public transport. Apparently not. A further 1p per litre is scheduled for next week followed by a further increase in January. I for one am pig sick of politicians playing the so called green card as an excuse to squeeze the last dregs of solvency from drivers. If you ask me the crowd we have now are akin the same bunch of wimps as previous but under a different name. An IRATE Blackpowder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hunter_zero Posted September 30, 2010 Report Share Posted September 30, 2010 I for one am pig sick of politicians playing the so called green card as an excuse To be honest, anyone who really believes in the green card, may want to remember that the polar ice caps did a wonderful job of melting on their own, with no help from us! History has shown that global warming is a naturally occurring event. John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vole Posted September 30, 2010 Report Share Posted September 30, 2010 I was driving home last week and passed a group of workers with placards and banging drums outside a pharmaceutical factory . Most people beeped their horns and got as cheer . Their pensions were being withdrawn or something . Fuel prices on top of everything else are going to have a really bad effect on this country and I think this sort of action is going to be commonplace . I would support another fuel protest especially as my job enables me to get to the front of the queue ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhilR Posted September 30, 2010 Report Share Posted September 30, 2010 (edited) According to the radio earlier the fuel duty is going up tomorrow, which accounts for the people queueing at the pumps in front of me on my way home. Fuel here has crept up in the last few days anyway. I just paid 115.9p per litre for diesel at ASDA.

Paddy Galore! Posted September 30, 2010 Report Share Posted September 30, 2010 It doesn't matter who we vote for, one way or another all of us are gonna get hit with tax hikes whoever the ruling party is. My main concern is the proposed vat rise in jan, that'll kill off a bit more work. Maybe when everyone is on the dole because they can't afford to go to work, then the Gov will have a rethink.

Billy. Posted September 30, 2010 Report Share Posted September 30, 2010 Pulling the Green Card has just become the trump card for any government. When they realised how much it could earn them, they didn't hold back in taxing people to death. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vole Posted September 30, 2010 Report Share Posted September 30, 2010 I can see alot of really brassed off working people , in fact the only people with smiles on their faces are the bankers . They are the only ones who can fail miserably and still get rewarded handsomely . Talk about falling in a septic tank and climb out chewing a Mars Bar . If we are going to lose our livelihoods due to less pay and more taxes and interest rates then I hope we can give the money men a spanking in return in the only way we can .

Dave-G Posted October 1, 2010 Report Share Posted October 1, 2010 Tough titty for us as we now have to pay back some of the money labour borrowed to fund the voters they bought with "jobs" and immigration permits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh come on this is getting tedious blaming the banks for everything. Do you not think that fuel prices would be going up regardless of the economic climate? And a lot of people get rewarded for failure not just a few 'bankers'. The England football team and manager immediately spring to mind. The vast majority of people who work for banks who fail, lose their jobs. In fact a lot of people who work for banks who don't fail lose their jobs. Just look at the cull going on across banks at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njc110381 Posted October 1, 2010 Report Share Posted October 1, 2010 I'd happily pay higher fuel costs if road tax was abolished. I think tax on fuel is a very fair way to tax people because the more you drive and the bigger your car, the more you pay. In my mind that would be a lot more fair than the current system. It would mean that people out in the sticks who need 4x4s wouldn't get so badly screwed whilst the rich townie in his Bentley or DB9 would have to pay by consumption. The more you drive the more you wear out the roads too. Perhaps haulage companies could be given a rebate of some sort so it doesn't hit them too hard? They are after all an essential service. Kind of like farmers getting their red? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blacksheep Posted October 1, 2010 Report Share Posted October 1, 2010 Im not impressed as i live miles from anywhere and have to drive to do anything But it's worth remembering the impending rises in fuel duty were planned in the last labour budget not by the current government Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
