Mook Posted March 19, 2009 Report Share Posted March 19, 2009 Oh bugger. They kept this one quiet... Duty rise set to bring fuel tax to 71% in 2 weeks - PetrolPrices.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruiser647 Posted March 19, 2009 Report Share Posted March 19, 2009 Like all politicians he is a chronic liar. And did not see the oil price 'crash' neither! He has now realised that we all 'suffered' the high fuel prices so knows he can push it a bit more. If oil goes back to stupid price, it will allow him to drop the duty (as if) and look like a real hero by helping the 'man on the street'. Stiffed again. The duty rise should cover a bank bailout and pension pot for the failed exec. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cuprabob Posted March 19, 2009 Report Share Posted March 19, 2009 No doubt he'll make a big thing of freezing it at the Budget after sneaking this one in. We didn't even benefit fron the VAT reduction as he increased to duty to compensate:ffs: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy_Bangle Posted March 19, 2009 Report Share Posted March 19, 2009 Fuel prices in the UK have already risen 3p per litre this year and now you get a tax hike too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
