To: James Lacey

Dear James,

Having presided over the first bank run in the UK since 1866, Alistair Darling is now about to add an extra 2.35p tax to every litre of fuel sold in the UK. This tax hike comes into force at the start of next week, just as oil prices are at record highs and every motorist is already being punished.

At PetrolPrices.com we want to help get motorists' voices heard and so we have prepared a vote. If you have an opinion about tax on fuel please vote and pass this email round to anyone you know who might want to vote as well.

If they are not saving money already like you by using PetrolPrices.com please let them know about our site too.

Here is my blog post and vote page:

Best regards,
Brendan

My thoughts exactly, and at a time when it's rumoured that Gordon might be planning an election too. The fact is there's no electable opposition, Labour know that, and what opposition we have are promising more of the same cr@p anyway as far as I can tell.

We need another blockade, although I'm sure they've been crafty enough not to put the hauliers' backs up this time. After all, without them on the case it 'aint going to be much of a blockade.
