Fuel is an easy target for government to raise taxes. The problem being freedom to travel is the oil that lubricates the economy. It's alright the green's wanting everyone to use less petrol and diesel ( China has just announced plans for a new 42 million people city who will be wanting personal transport whether it be cars or airbuses ).
Put fuel prices up and most modern human activity is affected.
Resentment is stirring here in The Daily Post. Small lorry firms suffering greatly.
Done my accounts last week. My fuel bill half the year before so nearly half the revenue for the chancellor.
Trouble is these public servants and politicians who decide policy don't live in the real world. They don't run businesses they just have this task of spending x amount of billions before the end of the financial year. This may be about to change in the next few years.
