vat on fuel
When the last government reduced the rate of vat to 15% the duty on fuel was increased by 2.5% but when VAT returned to 17.5% the extra 2.5% tax was not removed. Is this just another way of ripping the uk public off?

I won't say the British public are being ripped off. They actually owe the rest of the world 4.3 trillion pounds (£77,000 each) as a direct result of living on credit during the 13 years of Labour government. So to carp about paying off a little bit of that debt slightly faster doesn't cut much ice this end.
