Scumbria,

OT

comments like the taxation of petrol in the UK has not risen under Tony Blair really don't help your cause.

I heard that comment repeatedly on BBC news while stuck in my hotel in the UK last week. (I didn't have enough in my tank to risk driving to the pub.) It was stated several times that the high petrol taxes were instituted under the tories.


It is very true that the Tories initiated a policy of regularly increasing fuel duty. However, Labour continued this policy with enthusiasm and at a higher rate of increase than the Tories.

The links I posted to several recent finance acts confirm the increases under Labour.
