Fuel Tax

Ladies and Gents, it has been a long time since I have written a blog entry, and in that time, mainly due to my Season Review, I have become an official blogger for the Liverpool Echo's LFC Banter blog site.  I have, as yet, not written my first one, but it is coming soon.  Rest assured that once yours truely here has gotten over some extreme, not to mention hideous and ironic, writers blog, I will post a linky to what I do eventually write.
 
Anyways, the purpose of this post is not to promote my writing (or rather, non-writing), but to have what could only be described as a slight rant about our inglorious and infamous Labour Government.
 
You see, despite people already struggling, despite companies struggling and despite the country is in the worse recession, well lets be honest, since the last Labour Government, they have managed to oversee yet another tax hike in fuel duty!  This is the third in nine (YES!  NINE) months!
 
As if fuel wasn't costly enough these, and this is being polite, idiots have chosen to allow it to rise even more.
 
Labour's incompetence never manages to astound me.  I am never surprised, and they are managing to surpass themselves with every waking moment.
 
Lets make no bones about it, I hate Labour, I hated them before they got into power, and the minute they got into power started to vindicate my viewpoint in leaps and bounds.  Firstly, selling off all our gold reserves and squandering a £60Billion surplus, and immediately decaying a very healthly economy, all inherited from the Conservative Government to make themselves look good.  Then, they started to tax and spend (this all being part of it), along with using the "Idiots Guide To Wrongly Getting Through A Recession And In The Process Bankrupt An Entire Country And Its Population For Dummies" book, it all just strengthens my viewpoint.
 
Also, lets not forget how they have constantly fed us absolute nonsense about the environment using information from Climate Scientists whom all get paid by, ahem, yes you guessed, governments (no conflict of interest, hey?), the 2nd house scandal etc etc and there lies and incompetence truely do show themselves.
 
I could go deeply into figures, but let me say this, if you dig beyond the populist bull we are usually fed, you will come across figures like human activity resulting in the grand total of 3.5% of greenhouse gas emissions and 0.6% of that being attributed to car usage.  Justification for stupid taxation?  Me thinks not!!!
 
I always try to put humour in my posts, but when it comes to this government, I am afraid my ability to use it gets completely lost!
 
I am thinking of starting one of those government petitions to get the fuel duty lowered, who would sign it?
