 Re: Petrol panic buying
The chancellor has the motorist over a barrel though, it's not like we've a choice between using a car or public transport half the time. Seems like the motorist is paying for everything nowadays - we KNOW they pollute and people are killed by them - but WHAT are the alternatives? It's not like they are the biggest eco problem.
WHY can't taxes be spread out more on LUXURIES instead of necessities? Put more tax on burberry and fake gold for instance!
BTW, I don't drive a gas guzzler and have started car sharing, I have zero points on my licence, (well, I wouldn't want to get screwed by the insurance companies even more than I already am). I also use my LEGS either walking, or on a pushbike.
