Fuel Duty increase

[The Spartan]

Blimey where was that from? In Essex it averages at 1.42

In Cardiff, 1.42 yikes so you'll be looking at 1.45 a litre once the 3p rise kicks in. I'm considering getting public transport from the airport the next time I fly back for a visit

Paying over £1.50 per liter of premium diesel in Birmingham because I only want the best for my Peugeot 307.

Are you cycling up at the weekend?

Just asking, like...

Actually I did discuss that with CM - she suggested it would be easier to get the train up and cycle home. The distance is about right for the double.....

I maybe wrong but if you turn off the engine and then turn it back on it is meant to use more fuel allegedly, plus certain van drivers are probably not actually paying for the fuel out of their own pocket

You are wrong.

Every new 'eco' vehicle has stop start technology, maybe true of very old petrol vans with a carburettor??

Surely it means saying anything you can to get into power and opposing things is merely a frequent by-product of that?

If the ruling party said something that popular opinion was strongly behind the opposition would probably agree and further insist they had been saying it for years etc.

no, the idea of opposing everything is a sytemised way of providing a devils advocate, which is a good idea. Anyone who has worked in a management that is stuffed with 'yes men' or 'good news men' will understand that.

And if the government come up with a very popular idea, the opposition claim to have invented it first and say they would have implemented it sooner

Checks and balances.

Are you new to politics?

No really, I just want them to behave with integrity. Just because they are in politics does not mean they can behave like scumbags.
