Stage 2 of the FairFuelUK campaign has been launched by Quentin Willson, motoring personality. The campaign is to try to cut fuel duties because businesses and motorists continue to have problems with the soaring costs at the pumps.
Even thought there was a 1p fuel duty cut in the Spring Budget the motoring expert and TV presenter said the majority of motorists have not felt it and it is being offset by the continual rising prices of oil.
Willson in this FairFuelUk blog has called on the Government to look into fuel prices and immediately due something and that other groups may have the need to take widespread action if the situation does not change or escalates more.
Because of global uncertainty prices of oil are surging and it seems everyone is a winner in the price increase – the oil rich countries get richer, the speculators earn huge chunks of money the oil companies are posting huge profits and the government with their taxes.
Those that are losing are motorists and hard pressed businesses that suffer more now than before the new Budget. The Government needs to help and not stand back and watch us fall into another recession.
