i wonder whats after fuel though because they have already started teh process of deeming anyone who has a car to be utter scum just like they did with people who smoke then now people who drink
just before they started planning the increasing of booze prices they released statistics on how booze is to blame for everything that is wrong in society from domestic violence to vandalism and a whole load of other crimes inbetween
when the wanted to bring in the smoking ban they bleeted on about how much the smokers were costing the NHS neglecting to mention that it was tax from ciggarettes that has been the backbone of teh NHS for many many years and even got it into peoples heads that passive smoking kills despite there been no proof of it only theories
will the torys follow a different line if they get in power instead of targeting things we need or enjoy
will they hell
cars are killing the planet they say , we must be green they say but not one damn thing has been done to stop big companies poluting or using more sensible amounts of packaging on their products and we get taxed to hilt on anyting we enjoy while big corporations are not been held accountable
every time a govenment wants to tax somthing they make it out to be a danger or somthing to be ashamed of and drive a wedge between the nation making them argue amongst themselves rather than look at teh real problem which is teh govenment
no one was moaning about smoking in pubs until the govenment started stiring tehir wooden spoon and then got eveyone argueing about somthing they didnt really care about
