Motorists penalised with petrol

For every £1 we pay for petrol/diesel the Government takes 65.4p for doing nothing. Oil companies have to find, produce, deliver and sell it and make a profit of 34.6p in the £1.

Motorists should not be penalised and told to cut back on essential motoring. This Government should work for the people, not against them.

If they must tax fuel it shouldn't be more than 22p in the £1.

They already take enough in road tax, VAT on cars etc.

The Government should be the ones to cut back on un-essential costs.

Withdraw from wars we neither want nor can afford.

Stop interfering in world affairs and start acting like the little Britain we have become.

Stop the free-for-all immigration which is putting a strain on our economy and infrastructure - we once ran an empire with less than half the population we now have.
