Torys fecking wenkers ! Lets see in another four years ...Wonder if glegg and cameron will still be friends ? by the way which ones which ?

There is talk that diesel could be up to £1.50 a litre by the summer due to oil prices rising
If it does how will those with tx cabs cope at an average 24 MPG and cannot get fare rises to compensate???

It doesn't suit when it comes to fuel duty rebates like Stagecoach, they get millions back every quarter for fuel duty.

as much as Labour did (even ignoring taking us into wars we couldnt possibly win)

BTW, I didnt say i was a tory-supporter did i? i just dont think expecting a goverment in power such a short time to right the wrongs of 12 years of Labour mis-rule very sensible. Labour never stopped slagging the tories off and KEPT blaming them right to Browns demise

But you're pro-tory / daily mail diatribe is long established.

For the record I have a history of slagging off the previous labour regime and their illegal wars as do the ABD for that matter.

Take note of what Cameron stated BEFORE he was elected;



They havent been in power 1 year yet, and already they're lying b*stards?

We dont have a Conservative goverment though do we

the Libdems (in thier election manifesto) were against university fee increases....

but we dont have a LibDem goverment either


and thankfully, we dont have a Labour goverment either

When the fuel prices go down they still earn millions a day in duty.

The VAT on dev is already at 19.5% so will it be going up 0.05% to make it 20%, that means petrol will have a 2.5% increase

skippy do the maths fuel accounts for 15 to 20% of the take so even a 20% hike in fuel costs isn't going to suddenly bankrupt every cabby in the land just put a dent in the profits there should be enough of a margin to absorb such a rise but it will mean less money available after the bills are paid for lifes luxuries
