Now the fuel seems to have started to go down, some stations have lowered
prices some have kept prices, GB is a total buffoon - he has lost this
extra income and put our country further behind rather than getting on
with it - as he should by making big decisions that he was elected to (by
Labour)

The increased VAT revenue alone on the escalating price of fuel at the pumps
will have more that made up for the lost (delayed?) 2p duty, so what's the
problem?

As it is fuel consumption is already plummeting and the extra duty would
have simply added to this downturn. There is a real need for lower
petrol/diesel prices if only to put more money into people's pockets and
help kick-start the ailing UK economy which is currently heading for a very
deep recession.
