Problem is, if the government had made hay while the sun was shining they'd be in a position to ease the tax situation and stabilise fuel prices.

They didn't. They need the tax revenue desperately and they have talked up the climate change myth so much that it would be a U-turn for them to ease fuel taxation. Problem is, they are now facing the option of slipping down either the back or the front of the curve.

Ease fuel taxation and lose revenue, or maintain fuel taxation and watch it slow the whole economy, losing revenue. :-/

If they don't drop taxation VERY soon there will not be an economy left to tax!

They need prices back under £1 a litre
