Well, don't just bend over and take it from that POS Brown!

Write to your MP and sign Petition to: Remove the unfair and unjust retrospective Vehicle Execise Duty levy (back to 2001 year vehicles) as announced in the Budget on 12/3/08. . Also e-mail Greedy Gordon at Email the PM .

I wrote:

"Dear Prime Minister,

You current taxation regime is unfairly biased against motorists on a modest income. In particular, the Chancellor's outrageous retrospective application of VED bands to all post-2001 vehicles shows just how out of touch your government is with the reality of life.

Under your government, my costs are set to rise next year by over 10 x the rate of inflation due to the rising cost of petrol, associated tax and tax-on-tax, as well as this unjust 100%+ rise in VED.

I have already written to my local MP to ask for his support; I now write to you to ask you to scrap the budget proposals and proposed fuel escalator tax by:

1. Retaining the pre-budget VED banding.

2. Retaining the exemption for pre-2006 vehicles.

3. Abandoning any thought of the 2p tax rise.

If you fail to take swift action over this, I predict that the loss of public confidence in your government will increase exponentially."

I also wrote to my local MP. He happens to be the Leader of the Opposition, David Cameron, who will be the next Prime Minister when the nation shitcans these lying NuLabor spin artists.
