I anyone actually surprised by this revelation?

 

[Rob..]

haha that bit about gordon brown is abit obvious, how can soaring oil prices be to blame when its the taxes that are putting the prices up? fair enough we need taxes to run the country, but we need to start looing at whats essential (eg an MP's 'second home' isnt something that should be paid for by taxes nor is it essential, i have one home and live comfortably in it)

i think the MSC should start its own political party, made by motorists for motorists

"A Treasury spokesman denied that fuel taxes were too high, saying they were justified because they were green and designed to reduce carbon consumption."

i'd rather have cheap petrol and fill my back garden with trees.
