Gordon Brown thinks he has been clever by not introducing any new stealth taxes but doubling previous ones we have all had to swallow. The Fuel and passenger duty is going to double and there is nothing anyone can do about it and if you go on holiday or travel away on short break weekends, stag/hen do's, visit relatives, you are going to be clobbered in the name of the environment. One question though can anyone tell me where the extra cash is actually going to help the environment as there has been no mention of it? Also this duty brought in £1billion last year and so is set to give them $2 Billion, Will this extra duty stop you from having a holiday next year or will you just pay it? I think pay it will be most people's answer's so back to the original question will this lose Labour the government as I wont be voting for the money grabbing @/.+@%'s!!

It should be the end of the New Labour party, but unfortunatly it probobly won't be. "The Environment" is used as a magic wand to get more money for their crazy schemes, Global warming, and there is no proof that "we" are the cause of it, has been a godsend to all political parties, It keep us from worring about the real issues!

Probably, the Labour party is not what it used to be, in my opinion the Labour of today has far too many middle-class university educated wanna-be career led politicians who see the Labour part as an idea vehicle to further their careers outside politics, to put bluntly some of em if not most of em would shaft their own granny if they though it was in their interests. And this claiming or taking the moral high ground after spending the last 10 or 15 years in bed with Murdoch's dark empire is a prime example of that.

I'm afraid there will be millions voting for the Labour Party at the next election even though they have proven to be the worst government in recent history. The problem is the lack of any real credible opposition. David Cameron and his hug the hoodies campaign reveals yet more infantile idiocy while Ming Campbell offers little in the way of attracting votes.
Right now we are inexorably heading towards a fascist state with the government intent upon destroying liberty and freedom.
But what is the answer?

I thought that, at the last election. They wouldn't be in power now, if it wasn't for the Scots, and, I am afraid, women. I think that the British public are showing signs of having been indoctrinated by the likes of the BBC and the rest of the terrestrial channels, and, as far as younger people are concerned, their teachers and lecturers. There are a number of unpatriotic forces which have been working against the interests of this country for years.

People keep whining about stealth taxes without taking the time to applaud the reductions in income tax. I dunno about you but I've been better off lately, not least because I don't drive all over the country.
Secondly the whole world is undergoing taxes on fuel because of global warming, just asking us nicely isn't going to stop us spanking our cars so what other alternatives have they got for getting people on public transport?
No, I'll continue to vote labour because they're no better than the choices and if you think they are you're kidding yourself.

Vote Monster Raving Loony. The only party which truthfully describes its candidates before being elected. Unlike all the rest who turn into Monster Raving Loonies once they're elected.
