    Telegraph campaign: Fair deal for car drivers

    The Telegraph has launched a campaign called Fair deal for car drivers. This follows a 50 per cent increase in the amount of car-related tax since Labour came to power, taking the total to an average of £1800 a year in fuel duty, car tax, VAT on petrol and other levies.

    The Telegraph is calling on Gordon Brown to scrap this autumn’s planned two pence rise in fuel duty and to abandon plans to increase vehicle excise duty next year for owners of cars registered before 2006. We also call on the Government to consider other measures to help drivers during this period of high fuel prices.

    I'm listening.

    You want less tax on cars? No problem.

    I'll make sure that the next Labour government reduces all these taxes.

    All you have to do is vote Labour at the next election.

    Love 'n' hugs,

    G
    If you've got a problem and no one else can help, and if you can find him, maybe you can hire...Gordon Brown ...( cue music )

      I never read the rag now the owners, the Barclay brothers, have been throwing their weight around on the Island of Sark, making an effing nuisance of themselves!

      What a big mistake it was allowing them to buy the island of Brecqhou. The seigneur of Sark must be kicking himself if he had any say in the matter.

      P.S. It's gone down the pan anyway in the last year or two, as most journalists and correspondents have been fired.

          people these days seem to think of cars as a necessity - not a luxury.
