Gazboy Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 We would have done already if the £ hadn't tanked against the dollar. Petrol is still 25-30p a litre cheaper than it was in the summer. Vat is being decreased to 12% soon so that will take another 5p off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gazboy Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 I read it in both the Indy & Mirror on Sunday night (Mondays papers), it's the badgers idea of getting people to spend more money, or just start spending money and the difference will be made up from more public borrowing (ie Cameron can worry about paying it back in two years time) and this will be run in tandem with other tax freezes and extended tax deadlines & thresholds.
