Brown and Biodiesel: sorry, I was being rather thick
Any one who read my post on Brown and biodiesel (December 12th) and knew any thing about the subject will have seen I completely missed the point. Sorry. Sorry, sorry. Brown, of course, actually increased duty on biodiesel by 1.25p, the same as the duty increase for petrol. Got that? This supposedly environmental budget treated biodiesel exactly the same as petrol. Now, if any one out there still believes (a) Brown presents his Budgets in a straightforward way and (b) Brown has any interest at all in the environment, I would like them to call me. I want to introduce them to Santa Claus.

Any chance of any Green tax-CUTS. Incentivise good behaviour rather than punish bad.
Most people just think Green taxes are an excuse to take more money off them. It is not going to cancel anyone’s holiday in France is it?
