    he’s defered to raise fuel.

    Raising tax on gas guzzlers for the sake of the enviroment, hmmmmmm yet they are going to build more runways for more planes.Oh and did you see the huge gas guzzlers the Mp’s turned up in ! I’m confussed :? if i didn’t know better i could think it was just a way to raise money to waste :roll: They had to raise the price of achohol because it was getting cheaper than petrol per ltr so everone would be driving around on vodka powered cars and you would have all the teenagers laying under your car trying to catch the drips.

    or later if you can only afford 10 mayfair :lol: half the fags = twice as long!

    I just wish they would stop trying to kid us into thinking that we will live longer etc…..

    Your life (i believe) is mapped out.

    We are all gonna die. nobody (not even Michael Jackson fank fook) will live beyond their chosen path.

    So why punish us breathing fookers for choosing to live and breath in this land? Its all sh/iteypants

    AND NO TAX FOR THE ALCOPOPOHOLICS DRINKS….. wots that gonna solve????? sit at home and drink wine, pay your taxes, yet your kid can go out and get ar/serfaced (if thats what he chooses) for no extra tax!

    LETS BUILD A RUNWAY AND CHARGE PEOPLE FOR CARRIER BAGS TO PAY FOR IT!!!!!!

    genius :roll:

    I agree taxes on gas guzzling cars should be increased sharply, but it’s unfair to single out 4x4s, when they are not all gas guzzlers.

    And what about the Jaguar X-Type and Audi TT, for example? Most, but not all, of those are 4x4s, even if they don’t look like off-roaders.

    I see that Darling hasn’t singled out 4x4s – just general gas guzzlers – which is right.

    One of the London Boroughs wanted to introduce higher parking chargs for 4x4s, which was silly. Edinburgh has a better proposal – increased charges for longer cars, which take up more space.

    PS I hope I managed to correct my terrible spelling mistake…. ‘Edinborough’, before anyone saw it!!!!!!!!

    as far as im aware the road tax is higher for older cars that release more emissions whereas the cars that are more eco friendly are cheaper to tax

    so in a round about way they are taxing gas guzzlers more than the non
