on the contary theres some on here who firmly believe that the tories intent to push fuel prices beyond the average working man and to a point where it desimates the brittish haulage industry is actually a labour policy that they’ve not only inherited they’ve got to stick to it no matter what like it’s been written in stone

There’s obviously some on here who either can’t remember or were’nt even born when road fuel taxes were a lot less than now although the motives for the introduction of the DERV taxation system were,as now,based on the government’s bias towards rail transport and that applies on a cross party basis.It’s just that the high earners saw an additional use for that system by saving themselves some income tax during the Thatcher years etc under the tories when they introduced the escalator and the tax increased at a higher rate than after the 1997 election.
Check out the rates of income tax,as they stood in the 1970’s under Labour,and the total rate of fuel taxes at that time compared to now and it was the tories who introduced the escalator not the so called Labour lot.But they’re all one and the same commie lot of zb’s anyway with a different name.
