Apparently in the last budget that Gordon Brown inflicted upon us was another piece of legislation that it seems he conveniently 'forgot to mention' and which effectively contains another smack in the mouth for the low paid. If you own a car that is 7 years old in 2010 you will be hit with yet ANOTHER TAX INCREASE because an additional £220.00 will be added to your road fund licence, yes ADDED to the current fee! How disgraceful is that in view of all the other price increase's that we have had to put up with including gas, electricity, oil, food, community tax, the list goes on, and on!

My own opinion is that he see's this as a way to not only grab more of our hard earned cash to give away to 'dubious causes' and third world countries, as well as take millions of cars off the roads because the low paid (those who can't afford a new car) are going to have to either dump their car, or stump up the additional fee. So what will you do? Either way it will cause more hardship in the very families that Labour supposedly 'look after' the low paid, what a joke that is! Let me tell you something that you can do tomorrow May 1st 2008 - you can put your vote in any box other than that of Brown and his cronies! How much more are we going to take from this rotten Government, c'mon members at least have your say and then get rid of them!!

The way things are going WE will be a third world country soon and I wonder how much help we can expect from they who have benefited from the UK thus far?

So Gordon Brown has lost some 400 seats to the Conservative Party in the local elections! Oh what a shame! Let me just say b....y well serves you right Gordon Brown for ripping us all off with your smarmy, 'prudent' budgets that actually mean't we all paid more for EVERYTHING! I personally can't wait to see your sorry a... out of the position that you obviously thought would be a breeze! You apparently harrassed Tony Blair for the position, but I can tell you that my opinion is simply that he was more of a man than you will ever be! Long live Tony Blair.......as long as he never wants to come back as our Prime Minister!!

Congratulations are in order for David Cameron, without doubt our next Prime Minister. Very well done David!!
