2p tax on petrol.....again

[malef!c]

Not sure if anyone else has heard about this, to be honest I didn't until I got the email from PetrolPrices.com, bit looks like the beloved Mr Brown is sticking another couple of pence on petrol shortly.

Email had a link to their blog: http://www.petrolprices.com/blog/duty-rise-set-to-bring-fuel-tax-to-in-weeks-110.html

So, according to that article, Brown has broken the promise of not raising tax on fuel for a year but its not been in the news at all - something I was suprised at, thought the media would have loved that one.

Yet again, if it is all true, the government screw a little bit more out of the vehicle owner cashcow.

It never rains but it pours....

We can afford it. We afforded petrol when it was £1 per litre, we'll afford 91p per litre.

Didn't say we couldn't afford it - but why should we have another increase, especially after our illustrious leader (sorry, I meant Brown) promised no rise for a year - I think that was last October, so this rise is about 7 months early and so they can grab more money.
