That's true, but... all politicians change their minds yearly, I wouldn't be surprised if they reinstate it next year as a 'isn't the government wonderful to you' gift though. I tend to only count for the coming year because I have no clue what they will change in the next budget.

 

 

(edit here: With inflation I guess you could say that fuel duty being frozen for the year, not being linked to inflation makes it a drop 'in real terms'... but would be grasping at straws to say that... though I have a vague memory of about 10 years ago a chancellor trying to sell us that line)

This was a funny way of putting it.  What she actually has done is end the fuel duty freeze which has been in place for 16 years (as from next September).

But somehow she spun that as a freeze on fuel duty!

I was wondering how SP could read anything else into it apart from what you have just described.

OMG you used the fuuuuuuuucccckkkkiiiinnnggg edit function 😳😳😳😳😳

Your post is pure shite, you were wrong initially about the fuel freeze. 
Now get back to your spreadsheet you bone idle bugger. No wonder the public sector is a millstone around the next of taxpayers.

The Stasi would most definitely approve. 

So tax fraud is OK?

You’d be very surprised lad 🤔👍
There’s not much on here that is able to rile me up, possibly sick buggers like  Manco and SP when they stoop to bringing daughters into the argument.
