Token Posted June 2, 2008 Report Share Posted June 2, 2008 (edited) i was just informed by my not-so-reliable mates that gordon brown is lowering petrol by 12p, anyone else know of this? and please take this with a pinch of salt Basically so far this year the government have accumilated in the region of 1 Billion Pounds in windfall from having the tax so high. I think that works out that they can afford to cut tax by 12p a litre for the rest of the year. Whether they do it or not.... edit: i think if they keep the tax so high, they're predicted to make £6.5 Billion this year.

Revolver Posted June 3, 2008 Report Share Posted June 3, 2008 (edited) what a crock of shit this whole saga is. one of the MP's (cant remember who) actually claimed back his car tax! yes thats right, he's paying his tax with the taxpayers money... what the hell's going on. also each MP gets a home payed for with an upper limit of 10 grand to spend on their bathrooms.......WHAT! we're paying extra tax so they can have much much more than alot of people have...hmmm. its like all the people in power never have the misfortune of living in a part of this frickin tax haven! Its aristocracy I wonder if any of them have tried to get the taxpayers to pay their taxes... Edited June 3, 2008 by Revolver Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
