Most other countries did not grab taxation dosh which was going to be unsustainable ..
Fuel 'tax' (47p plus vat) plus (fuel cost plus vat)
So on a litre at £1 .... 0.55p + 0.067 = near enough 62p tax plus 38p for the fuel.... Who could ever think of charging more tax than the commodity itself?
Perhaps Blair and co should tax themselves correspondingly- 125% tax should be right, 25% more than we actually pay them, they'll still have a profit from their other dabblings, probably done in 'our time' anyway.
Cannot wait to see them gone .. 'kin marginally left of centre tories.
I mean, who could be so devoid of any semblence of self respect than the DPM?? Deputy PM without portfolio, more like deputy dawg crapping on the streets of his betters.. Whilst keeping clear of the 'real' (not our choice) deputy pm...
If Brown is next in line, DPM should be relegated to the pay commensurate with the menial tasks he occasionaly carries out .. Perhaps as a civil servant.
On top of that .. Just gonna cut the grass now it's raining !! I bet Prescott was tasked to order the sunshine today !!
