There is a good way that this can be solved, the government has to deal with taxes first, we pay more tax for everything moveable going in this country, VAT for example, they can lower this, tax on fuel, they can reduce this.

A good mate of mine runs a garage, he pays MORE tax on fuel than anything, this is why garages charge so much for food and beverage, they make no money on fuel, as it is heavily taxed.

Fuel duty can be reduced, All this government is doing is finding a way of hitting the public sector again and again.

I think they have sufferd enough, why doesn't the government reduce some of the luxuries they get.

Sit Richard Branson was asked this question the other day, and he said that the government could scrap the 50p tax and this should start the economy running.
