FairFuel Campaign
 
Guys

This needs numbers.
They've been knocked back in the past with rises thanks to this campaign.
This new 2012 Budget confirmation of a 3.02 ppl is a joke!

Get signed up, and get others signed up too if you can.

But it did do a lot of good.
We got two planned increases canned!

Signed

Although I would like to know where the government is expected to find the shortfall income if they reduce fuel duty.

I also clicked VAT reduction. More important to me than fuel.

Er, how about stopped the ridiculous amount we pay out in benefits for starters!

Yes, but think about it.
Every time they up duty, then the VAT also increases.
This fuel price has an impact on pretty much everything we need - take food as an example.

The "immigrants" thing should be closely examined.
Foreigners for example, they should not be entitled to free NHS when in this country.
We have to pay when we're abroad

legacy_gtb 22 March 2012 06:10 PM

It wont do feck all good imo .... the government doesnt care what its population think!

If they gave a toss they would have realised by now that theyd earn more from taxes by freeing up fuel costs and ....


.... actually, i cant even be arsed to continue this anymore, theres no point! the government will charge what they want knowing full well that however much we complain we'll still pay for just as much fuel and they'll recieve just as much cash from it!

Ill just keep schtoom till i can gather all my finances together and emigrate with them to a more deserving democracy!

Steve vRS 22 March 2012 07:19 PM

Same here and I'm not holding my breath for any reduction. Waste of time!

dpb 22 March 2012 09:00 PM

Almost as pointless as announcing to the world your leaving scoobynet forever

markjmd 22 March 2012 09:38 PM

To the "waste of time" crowd, far better to just suck it up without a word of complaint, is that it?

why don't we force immigrants to drive Subarus, and the real hangers on can drive RR's

all that fuel duty they will pay will soon reduce the national debt

I've supported and promoted FFUK and participated in fuel protests for over 12 months and still watch pump prices rise!

Hence, wasted my time.

CharlySkunkWeed 22 March 2012 10:33 PM

Me too , maybe even longer. Had to have a certain number of people to take it to parliment , where they never even listened. Only way to change things is to strike , and not fill up for a while. But i couldnt do that.

Boro 22 March 2012 10:38 PM

Agreed and FFUK don't support aggressive action.

Lisawrx 23 March 2012 01:38 AM

Signed. It may well do no good, but to be honest, it's worth a try. Worst case, it was a couple of minutes of my time wasted.

madscoob 23 March 2012 02:18 AM

what they need to do is not use a fuel supplier for each week of the month . week one no one use texaco and so on , hit em where it hurts most , shareholders pockets :thumb:. remember though petrol will only ever come down in price the day after they stop mp's being able to claim it back on expences

I don't understand why people say this - why do you think the previous planned increases were canned?

How will that help get the government to reduce some of its outrageous tax?
