i remember when i first started to drive that it would cost around £25 to brim the cossie from empty

but as long as fuel prices are taxed as heavily as they are, and lets not beat around the bush here, no fucker is going to drop the fuel duty prices as the country is fucked, they won't come down

the only "sensible" thing to do would be to ring fence all the income from motoring, such as tax on fuel, insurance, vat form car sales, road theft license and everything else, so that it would pay for the transport sector only and not help pay nurses and hospitals and playstations for young offenders of laptops for single scroungers etc

but seeing as the motorist is such an easy target, that would be like the government shooting itself in the bollocks, with some sort of tank that actually works rather than some of the shit they send to iraq
