Fuel prices are beyond a joke

HOW much longer will we taxpayers stand for the increasing prices of fuel before we take action and declare our disgust at Rip-Off Britain?
Quite a lot of people, including myself, are considering emigrating because of the state of the country due to the Government, do-gooder racial equality twits and the fact we are taxed on everything once, twice and sometimes more.

Look at the car for example. You pay tax when you buy it, tax on its fuel (VAT and fuel duty), tax when you buy tyres and other parts, road tax, then have to pay to park.

Oh, I nearly forgot about MOT and servicing, which are also taxed.

If public transport was efficient and cheap enough, more people would use it.

I used to use it but it would mean that I would be travelling for four hours every day just to get to work and back!
