Link? Nothing on BBC yet?
Where do we need to drive to for a cheap fill up :D |

What do they class as remote? Outer Hebrides? Highlands? :rolleyes:
If so, great news for the 14 people that live there. Oh and little in the way of reduced revenue for her majesty's exchequer as well. It's a win-win. Apart for the million of us who dont live rural, can't use the Underground as it DOESNT EXIST OUTSIDE OF LONDON YOU FECKING MORONS, and where the public transport is totally, absolutely, crap. Quote: The new coalition Government has promised to end the “war on motorists”, as the new Transport Secretary seemed to make good on the promise made to Auto Express columnist Mike Rutherford that Prime Minister David Cameron will be a “friend of the motorist” and introduce a fuel price stabiliser" I think events in these last few days have shown us that our PM will open his mouth and promise many, many things. However if they're not cuts he U-turns faster than Russ Swift. :hjtwofing |
I'm not too far from the Scilly Isles. Think I'll drive over to fill up. Oh, wait, umm ..... :Suspiciou
As for Call Me Dave u-turning, anyone who compares himself to Billy Liar should be trusted as far as you can throw him ..... And apparently the latest nick-name is iDave ..... as in "I think the UK is better off in the EU", " I think .....", etc etc. Dave |

They are around 10ppl higher than forecourts found in cities/towns though so will still be 5ppl more expensive than what all us lot are paying.
£1.50ppl before the end of the year I think |
If thats all I think we can all count ourselves fortunate.
|
And they have already increased duty and VAT so it isn't actually a saving at all, just less of an increase ... for the 14 people in the remote areas!!!!
|
But have you noticed that we are no longer governed by those we elect any more? The worst part of all of this sorry sage is here ... http://news.sky.com/skynews/Home/Bus...ib_Dem_Meeting ... "... Mr Alexander said: "We will be submitting a formal application to the European Commission to deliver a 5p discount on fuel duty for Highland communities, the Northern Isles, the Inner and Outer Hebrides, the Islands of the Clyde and the Isles of Scilly too. ..."
FFS! Get the feck out of the EU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!! Dave |
how do we have to ask the EU for permission on adjust our own internal fuel duty?
If the government is that powerless then make them all redundant and sell of the houses of Parliament for redevelopment as they are pointless |
Chief Secretary to the Treasury Danny Alexander said the discount was to help those who pay higher petrol costs due to their location.
That's All of the UK then.. 5 Pence wow,well done really :rolleyes: Now run along to get the go ahead from those nice people in Europe :o Fecking morons :hjtwofing :D |

The Government are just taking the P*ss out of us all again, Robbing us blind with Tax on Fuel

I'm sceptical. Danny Alexanders constituency is in the Highlands.
It was part of his election campaign last time around, and he's royally ****ed if he doesn't deliver. And as has been said above, we in the highlands and islands pay more for fuel than much of the rest of the uk. More often than not communities are more detached and reliance on personal vehicular transport is higher simply because bus/train infrastructure often doesn't exist. I appreciate that the same applies to parts of England and Wales but the fact remains that more of Scotland is impacted by higher fuel prices and no viable transport alternative. Good news if it is implemented. If not, Danny Alexander is political history. |
