the country is fucked loubie! surprised you hadnt noticed TBH

we have a massive deficit to pay off and us motorists are the easy way to do it. And it can all be justified under the guise of "saving the environment".

we as motorists are fucked and will continue to be so for many years!

Good old rip off Britian!!!

Just forked out my usual 12 month tax for the Focus, which was a nice round £205!!!! Should have kept it as a 1.6 on the log book
