PM: Drivers Benefit From High Fuel Prices
Brown says soaring fuel prices are for our own good
He is taking a high-risk strategy at the G8 Summit in an attempt to show that Britain can lead the way on green motoring issues. Part of his plan is apparently to push for all vehicles to be electric or hybrid within 12 years.
He is also standing behind the idea that high taxes on motorists and spiralling fuel costs will be an affective way of stopping people driving petrol cars. This appears to suggest that he is still in favour of controversial plans to impose high taxes on the most polluting cars, while letting low emissions vehicles dodge duty.
The strategy risks alienating Brown even further from British drivers who are already suffering from huge fuel bills. Paul Watters of the AA said: ‘Motorists are already suffering from very high prices – this just piles on the pain.’
The Prime Minister is also understood to be looking to teach motorists ‘eco-driving techniques’ that will bring down fuel consumption. He said: ‘I think the combination of car licence and petrol costs could, if we develop the new technology, be to the benefit of car drivers.’
king arse!! High fuel prices are good for drivers? High Tax is good for drivers?? What a complete and utter f
king spanner!!How did he pull that one from his arse? It's only good for him & the gov as they are the only ones that are benefiting!!
What a cock! You would have thought he would have learned from what happened to Red Ken - Talk s
te - get kicked out! When’s the next election? He ain't getting my vote!! I live in the United Kingdom, not a Nazi State - If I want to drive a petrol car I should be able to! Banning petrol cars - utter s
te! What’s going to happen to all the petrol cars that are on the road now? Why not get ride of diesels as well? How about all these classic cars worth millions? Just stick them in the skip I guess??I reckon with all the s
t brown talks, more CO2 comes from him than the cars!! Not as much now . . . . .. ..
Just waiting for the 'secret' police to come and take me away for bad mouthing Fuhrer Brown . . . . . .
The best thing is, you can see the votes ebbing away with every word the monocular t
ttish wking ctbag says.Get rid of him? Just as he's becoming such excellent entertainment? Nah - but we can still be grateful that he *has* to call an election in 2 years time...
£285 million (at least it's Japan footing the bill!!)
or in fact whilst the G8 leaders were discussing food shortages, they were tucking into an 8 course lunch and a 12 course dinner - with caviar and champagne
I'm not sure what was worse - Blair who would spin everything to make it look like he was doing everything right or Brown who hasn't got the first clue about PR and just does what he thinks is right and screw what anyone wants
Of Course brown hasn't got a clue about much, like when he insisted in selling the UK's gold reserve and lost £2 billion !!

t brown talks, more CO2 comes from him than the cars!! So people with vintage and classic cars have them converted to LPG or diesel or electric, that'll be very useful for maintaining their orginality.
What a Prick!
My guess is that he has purchased considerable shares in alternative fuels companies.
For all cars to be electric or hybrid in 12 years time we'd have to start selling nothing but those right now.
If you compare the actual amount C02 / km generated by a G-Wizz with that from a Aygo / Polo blue motion type car, it is about the same (based on electricity from a 40% efficiend fossil fuel power station)
Unless we are going to have constructed 5 nuclear power stations EVERY YEAR between now and then, we'll still be burning fossil fuels.
Cheers,
