    Oi! That's my put-down de jour for this idiot. You think of your
    own.

    What? You claim to be able to know what I'm thinking across the
    internet, claim that unemployment costs more than the defence budget and
    *I'm* taking lessons from Des?

    I accept that the social security budget is greater than the defence
    budge - but that isn't what you said. You said in Message-ID:
    I choose to take issue with one part of that. I'm right, and *you*
    can't admit it. *You* are taking lessons from Des.

    Spoken by someone who can afford to pay it. It's discriminatory and
    devisive.
    I don't believe that *any* commodity should be made scarce by price and at
    the very least the fuel tax should be reclaimable by those in rural areas.

    I drive in Sweden sometimes. In built up areas there is a 18 mph limit.
    Most swedes actually obey it.

    And their accident stats are almost as good as theirs per head of the pop.
    And thats loads of rural bad roads and ice and snow 3 months of the year.

    If car drivers went as slowly as they do in sweden, it would be a safer
    place for bikes. (and push bikes)

    There is one in worthing
    near where I almost got killed as a schoolboy. People drive
    much slower there now...

    I quite like them....

    Never been caught by one though...

    Housing.

    As I posted I wondered why I was resorting to such lame insults. Now I
    know.

    Fuel prices should be raised due to the environmental impact. The fuels
    which do not harm the environment (like H2) can compete on price
    viability.

    They do this in austrailia. You get a grant to help you convert your car
    to envronmentally friendly gas....

    That's irrelevant to the manner in which I have formed my opinion of the
    level of fuel duty.

    And it's irrelevant to anyone else justifying it, isn't it - you're not
    going to get A.N. Other, M.P standing up in the Commons saying "Blaney
    can afford it, and he reckons it's ok, so it must be".
    Erm.. it discriminates against people who the commodity in question.
    Yes, that's what a tax does.
    Divisive? It divides people? Does it?
    What are you going to do about the price of diamonds, or saffron?
    This is so laughable. In the first instance, refer to the "impractical"
    arguments we explored over the means-tested fines for speeding in this
    thread. In the second instance, you're totally missing - or, I suspect,
    ignoring - the justification for the level of duty. Moreover, you don't
    appear to be arguing the position of the people who organised the Fuel
    Blockades. Your arguments are so flimsy you must be making them up as
    you go along.

    No, you said that. I didn't claim to be a mind reader.
    By misinterpreting the meaning of the words. Unless you are a mind
    reader?
