Smokers and Drinkers wacked yet again…. i aint really bothered 11p on a packet of cigs from 6pm… goin oot to get me fags now lol
4p on a pint..!! 3p on cyder 14p on bottle of wine, and finaly 55p on spirits…
now come on if we have an alcohol problem why not the alcopops hit by atleast 50p, cheap cyders ie whiten lightening, etc £1.
but what about the huge gas gussling 4x’s etc… i reckon hammer them cars.
he’s defered to raise fuel.i did see that they were rasing the money given to 3rd world countries for AIDE etc… my question is Why not sort out our OWN home problems first before helping others.. our NHS is crippled at present…!!
12 March, 2008 at 3:50 pm #317455Raising 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.

What I dont get and I hope somebody can answer for me is this….
Where do the government borrow from? Do they go on-line, or to a bank? I wonder what their credit records like….. :?

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:
13 March, 2008 at 10:41 am #317460I 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.

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