Rural Fuel Prices
Tuesday, 24 August 2010
The Highland LibDems - and Danny Alexander in particular - after all the noise they made about reducing rural fuel prices during the election, have a lot of explaining to do.
The Herald has predicted fuel prices in the Highlands could soar to 136p per litre from January as a result of the proposed hike in VAT to 20% on top of the already planned fuel duty increases. See here.
VAT rises always hit the poorest hardest, so what exactly is "fair" about this, Danny?
