cutting tax isn't going to solve the problem. It's done on percentages anyway. If the government cut the amount we were paying in terms of taxation, the fuel companies would just raise it again to similar levels because they know they'd get away with it.
| yeah and the idiot proles would still blame the government </BLOCKQUOTE>
Government should be saying OK you want the fuel duty dropped, for every 3p we drop it we put 1p on income tax*, how much cheaper do you want it to be?
*wild guess </BLOCKQUOTE>
nah the government should basically come out and say it's a pollution tax and all you selfish bastards can gtf

Never unstood the beef with farmers. They can only use red diesel for agricultural machinery, and they are the only people who HAVE to live in the middle of nowhere so petrol for their private travel costs more.
We heavily tax other damaging and luxurious things so I don't see why petrol should be any different.

They should be taxing the fuel companies profits as well really. If you look how much they make per annum its really takes the ****. Shell made what? £26 billion last year?
Disgusting.

Disgusting.
| So private enterprise will be punished for turning a profit? Who do you think will take the burden of that cost? As Andrew K said, it'll get passed back on to the people at the pump.
