It is nothing short of outrageous that, in forcing up energy prices to pander to their green obsession, the government then benefits to the tune of £200 million in increased VAT. But, in calling for a reduction in VAT from five to four percent, you really think former MP Mark Todd would know better, even if it is too much to expect the Failygraph not to print his tosh.

I believe that they know it, they dance to their EU master's tune in the hope of a nice seat on the gravy train alongside such super statesmen as Neil Kinnock. The only way is out of the vile cesspit.

Because they don't have brain neurons in their cerebral cortex, their cranial cavities are full of ***t.

But Dr. North, as we all know, this is playing to the gallery, they are but mere curs and even lower, lowly actors, Herman or Manuel - will in time throw them some scraps, ain't that what it is really all about?

Tickle his tummy and he is: just a puppy at heart.

It needs [how to do this?] to be communicated to the British public, just how much of our and their lives are micro-managed from within and by British EU fifth columnists - AKA: our government, all under the ever vigilant and rigorous rools'n'regs pedants sitting in the Berlaymont house of joy.

The most perverse thing about power generation was the burning of North Sea gas in power stations? I postulate that was done to lower our CO2 emissions whilst maintaining the same power output because burning gas chemically produces less CO2 for the same amount of power as burning coal?

Perhaps they could have a "temporary suspension" of VAT on fuel - wouldn't that get round the rule?

Nope.

How about an "instant VAT rebate" - is that possible? The companies charge VAT and give a rebate for the VAT at the point of payment - as long as the accounting protocols are met then the actual VAT has been charged, it just been rebated.
