Today it was announced that the inflation rate has increased significantly. The Chancellor is committed to a 1p rise ON TOP OF inflation. The fuel duty rise planned for April and the surge in inflation means that the duty rise will be even worse than anticipated.  The affect of this will be to add a potential 23p to a gallon of fuel in April (5p per litre).

 

This has to stop. Enough is enough! 30 million motorists have had their full  of shouldering this increasing cost and tax burden

Where's the green vote gone......  :-X
(or are we all assuming climate change is a fiction and that oil will last forever?)

The green vote costs money.

You only have to look at green tariffs with energy companies

When green alternatives for petrol and all the other products that come from oil can make OPEC rich then the Green Vote will make headway. In the mean time It's high time the UK residents paid a fair price for fuel as does the rest of Europe.

Maybe right now. ;)
In future the balance will inevitably change.  :'(

I definitely count myself a green supporter. Fossil fuels are doing severe damage to the environment. But at the moment there isn't an affordable alternative for personal transport, and people have to be able to get around. The high price of petrol won't stop people buying it, because of that lack of an alternative. I signed up for the fair fuel campaign because the high price hurts those people who can least afford it.

We in the UK are being made to feel we are the bad guys polluting the planet.Lets face facts we are tiny dot on the planet and the pressure should be put on the big polluting countries such as China,India,and even the USA

The green option in this country is just another way of squeezing more money out of the consumer.

We would all like to be green,buy organic produce etc,but the simple fact is most people can't afford to.

I don't believe in climate change especially with the recent incident when so called climate change scientists were found out in a leaked e-mail that they delibrately spiced up the climate change forecasts !

As far as I'm concerned climate change is just an excuse to tax the (hard pressed) motorist  :(

In any case, inflicting high taxation on fuel in the UK won't tackle climate change as the 2 biggest polluters are the US and China.

I know that fuel in the US is cheap but am unsure about China ?
