IN THE STICKS

just read this in the Daily Mail , the clowns running this country have moved the goal posts re the 'gas guzzling' high rate of car tax . It was a case of this only applied to cars registered after March 2006 , but now they are moving it back to cars registered after 2001 . I guess they have to pay for all the things they are spunking money on out there like Iraq Afganistan , and giving the rest of Europe hand outs

IN THE STICKS

I thought it had been done to death from 2006 onwards , didn't realise it would effect 2001 and onwards though

Labour in their wisdom thought it would be a good idea to back date the changes.

A nice little earner for them

I think we on this forum have been ahead of the rest of the country on this one. The implications of that last budget for owners of 2001 onwards cars is only just beginning to sink into the conciousness of the country at large.

Now the press have got hold of it, watch this space - it could get interesting, especially given the dire popularity ratings of that piece of **** called Gordon Brown

I wouldn't be too smug about it yourself.

I'm sure that this goverment will soon find a way to extend these tax bands even further before too long

johnnyroper

too true the lure of the easy money from motorists will be too tempting for them.
next budget probably when they need to pay for more troops/weapons for iraq or afghanistan

Itsreally today when this story hit some of the TV news channels with the local elections due tomorrow and Gordon still suffering over the 10p tax scam

looks like labour are in for a ruff time tomorrow with everyone with a decent car realising their are going to pay more tax on their cars

Imagine squezzing 3 kids and eqipment into a small 1 litre car
hope labour really get clobbered tomorrow
