VAT on Fuel / Extra Duty Scam sign petition
When VAT was temporarily reduced to 15%, the Chancellor added 2% duty to fuel to offset the reduction in tax collected from motorists. Now that VAT has been increased to 17.5% again this hidden tax has not been removed - hence recent rises in your fuel costs. Sign the petition at the link below to demand this stealth tax is removed

It wasn't hidden as you say, it was announced on all the news channels the day it happened, and we were informed of it in the previous budget.

I think they should have a public enquiry about it... then they can make it last a few years, get no new relevent information, make no differance atall and pay thier lawyer mates a few million to keep them out of the the effects of the nasty recession
Travel by train or bus?

Our public transport is the most expensive in Europe, maybe the world as well, but is it the best?!
depends on what part of Europe you are talking about... but our bus service is the only one i know which doesnt give change
