How many public sector workers would not have got their pay rises if we did not have this tax rise ? Surely public sector workers are a deserving cause !!

Wonder how many freight/haulage companies will go under because of this tax hike on their core business?

Britain's motorists will pay an extra 2.12p-a-litre for their petrol and diesel from today as the Government introduced an increase in fuel duty that will raise the annual tax bill of the average family by £54.

The AA said that the rises, which take the national average price of petrol to 94.22-a-litre, were “certainly no joke” to drivers, while the Freight Transport Association said the increase would “push businesses over the edge”.
