even in cheap stoke where its 128.9 petrol, petrol at the small asian run convenience rip off places will be listed 137.9 or more.
Fuel pricing is only going to go up.
current revenue is approx £26 billion per year. Im sure it could be got from elsewhere.
£26 billion is NOT that much in the big scheme of things. eg NHS = £100 billion a year etc
Id suggest bump alcohol and cigarette tax up massively as its a non essential luxury so people can either pay up or go without. Cut more benefits, cut speed camera funding etc and controvertially how about cut some aid money to look after ourselves.
Totally agree on bumping it up on Cigarettes and Alcohol.
People will ALWAYS find money for a pint.
While I was working in a pub I accidently slipped that view up to the pubs local alcoholic, I thought he was going to kill me.
Currently working ~50mile from home. I can't change my car because insurance prices are rediculous.
I spend ~£15-£20 a day getting back and fore work. My pay is usually £195 a week after tax. I put £50 a week into a savings account, I pay £25 a week lodge leaving me £120. Most my wage goes on petrol. I've gone from having £50 a week spending money in a part time job while I was in college to a full time job, spending 2 hours a day driving and still only have £50 a week spending money. I'd be better off on the dole!
