Gordon Brown is to freeze the duty on petrol for the second year running as he tries to relieve the pain of tax rises for all in his Budget on Wednesday.

The bloke cracks me up - no increase in income tax. Fair enough but then they reckon he'll stick it on NI. What the f**k is that if not income tax. It's tax, it comes out of my income , QED.

Plenty been said here already but come the revolution I'm right with you guys.

Not having a good day today, CarZee?

Think calming thoughts.....

....rolling 'Ampshire 'ills, clear roads like the A339, A32, A3349....

.....no plod, the odd numptie to blast past......

... and take deep breaths.

It's alright, Doctor, he'll come round in a minute

So we are potentially going to get stung by them removing the NI contributions ceilings and an outside chance of a 2.5% rise in VAT and Gordon Brown is going to keep his pledge that he will keep the ludicrously high fuel tax at a ludicrously high level.

Cheers ya fat c*nt!
