fuel duty petition

[Instain]

ive just received this email,

 

This should be passed to as many people as possible! ...

 

When VAT was temporarily reduced to 15%, the Chancellor added 2% duty to fuel to offset the reduction in tax collected from motorists. Now that VAT has been increased to 17.5% again this hidden tax has not been removed - hence recent rises in your fuel costs. Sign the petition at the link below to have this stealth tax removed!

Please pass this on to your friends - the more the merrier. Happy motoring!

 

 

 

Best Regards

No point, nothing will change. We didnt vote for Gordon, moaning about fuel prices wont make any difference.

 

anyway... *waves copmany fuel card*.

No, people do not vote for a Prime Minister, they vote for a Member pf Parliament in their area, who is usually a member of a particular political party, and the Party that has most Members in the House of Commons chooses the Prime Minister. That's how it works in this country of ours, no one votes for a PM...
