Vehicle Excise Duty not road tax, according to Radio 4 programme last year, apparently disappears into the general slush fund and is not earmarked for roads.

We no longer pay Road Tax, it is an emissions tax for Global climate change :-)

So they are taxing us for our efforts to stave off the oncoming 5th wave of the ice age? Beggars belief really.

 

Foreign "aid" has nothing to do with helping people and everything to do with backhands, politics and pay offs.

 

It ain't cheap buying mineral rights, funding militia and propping up sympathetic governments.
If SA which is some backwater third world county, spends billions a year doing exactly this, I hate to think what wealthier first world countries spend.

 

Don't get my hopes up!

 

Before we start cutting the foreign aid (which I acknowledge can fund the bad men as much as the good guys) I would want to see more accountability with all the other spend. I believe a report has just come out saying the government waste £1 in £6????!!! PFI's and other ridiculous, mindless spending needs to be addressed right now, we have massive debts and we need to invest in infrastructure (not poxy HS2) which serves and protects the masses, not pandering to the elite!
