observer Posted February 11, 2008 Report Share Posted February 11, 2008 Road hauliers are up in arms over a rise in fuel duty; but don't they pass it on down the line to "the customer" at the end of the day; and doesn't this result in price rises for all of us?

AdrianR Posted February 11, 2008 Report Share Posted February 11, 2008 What did also make me laugh was that factory gate precies have rocketed this month caused by "rising fuel costs". With another 2p planned in April - tax for tax sake as it wont go back to the transport budget - then this is going to just keep increasing factory gate prices and inflationary pressures and push us further into recession. Add to this the ?8bn tax black hole (appears 2p is worth about ?1bn) then going to be fun fiscal year ahead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asperity Posted February 11, 2008 Report Share Posted February 11, 2008 Looks like Gordon changed jobs just in time (well for himself anyway, not for the rest of us though!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
observer Posted February 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2008 Interesting food prices are said to be rising (EG: 14% rise in the price of a loaf); most pundits are predicting a slow down leading to a recession. Interestingly in the long term; the exploitation of India and China by us, in order to bring in cheap imports; is now changing due to increasing demand in their own countries.
