Cameron can sling his hook if he even thinks about it.

Tories will up fuel tax?

What, and Noo Labur won't?
Hasn't?

[Puggit]

I think he's just discovered the severity of our finances and is trying to avoid being voted in?

That seals my UKIP vote.

And who does most mileage - people with cars, generally family orientated.

Give with one hand , take back twice as much with the other, all in the name of the climate.

ANothe nail in the coffin of a Tory victory, UKIP here I come

How is taxing plant food gas a green tax?

I can't tell the difference.

Green taxes to fund married couples with children? Unsustainable population growth is the biggest environmental 'threat' there is if we must worship the big green god. They just want more people to pay taxes! s!

UKIP for me as well.

The fact is UKIP can't win, and anything is better than those socialist s and there leader Sith Lord mandelson

I’m not surprised.
CMD's little helpers probably check out sites like PistonHeads and think to themselves ‘we’ve got that lot in the bag already. So we don’t have to buy any votes from the car lobby’.

In that case you might as well wipe your arse with your ballot paper. Sorry, the systems rubbish so that's pretty much all you'll be doing.

All that will happen is you'll split the Labour opposition vote and they'll get back in.

So the reintroduction of the fuel escalator will help CO2 and bu used towards a families tax fund..................so for those of us without children, just another tax with no real benefit

remember thats "a couple of pence over inflation" plus VAT..

I hate winky as much as the next guy, but that is taking the pee.

I kind of like some of UKIPs ideas (i.e. getting out of europe and setting up trade agreements) but I sort of see them as a single issue party, all they'll do is split the vote even more and cause a hung parliament.

At the moment it looks like Cameron is snatching defeat from the jaws of victory, surely they must know that every single motorist is fed up to the back teeth of being victimised ?

[DSM2]

Anyone who thinks that, whichever Government we have after the election, they won't absolutely necessarily have to tax anything that can be taxed to the hilt, really doesn't have the basic intelligence to deserve a vote.

But just ask yourself, who deserves a chance? The moronic bds who got us and the country deeply into the st over the past 13 years or (insert anyone else here)?

Unfortunately a vote for anyone other than the tories increase the chance of the current shower geting back in. 3rd world anyone?

FFS... I'm as committed a tory voter as you could possibly get - well, I was anyway.

There is going to be a point where road-users say "enough's enough", the way he's proposing this tax hike is that they're going to reward those who get married, but can you hell as like take your kids out anywhere as the cost of driving much further than the end of the street is going to be fiscally prohibitive for a sizeable chunk of the population.

We should STOP giving our money as "aid", we should STOP giving our money to the EU and we should start looking closer to home rather than trying to be some kind of world leader. The days of the UK being a driving force in world issues are long gone. Any government of the UK should stop trying to play the big I am, realise we're nothing more than a rock in the sea which needs to help itself before helping others.

It pains me to say it, because I don't want to see Winky in No 10 for another term, but I'm seriously considering voting UKIP myself.

I know deep down it's a throwaway vote, but if CMD is going to persist with the "ah, the motorist will pay for everything" line, then I don't see much choice to the contrary. Green issues have not been scientifically proven yet, so why the fk are we paying for it now??? It all stinks of st, it really does.

Do they not want to get re-elected?!

I'm with you on this one, bloody sick of being ignored in the tax & benefit system as a single person. Families, families, families thats all you ever hear, talk about social engineering...

And another thing how much CO2 does a child create?! Single is greener...
