From: Derek C on 2 May 2010 01:33 Over the last 13 years motorists and air travellers have been persecuted and taxed to death by Gordon Brown and Co. Remember the fuel duty escalator, attacks on 4x4 SUVs, special VED on new large engined cars, Congestion Charges, Airport Passenger Duty, poorly maintained potholed roads despite all the motoring taxes, etc, etc. Many of these based on unproven Man Made Climate Change science. I trust that you will remember all these when voting on Thursday. Derek C

Fuel, as a percentage of income (thanks to the NMW brought in by Labour) is cheaper than it was when I started driving 20 years ago, likewise road tax. -- Conor I'm not prejudiced. I hate everyone equally.
