The latest addition is Justine Greening, having today been reported in the Telegraph & Daily Mail to be in support of increasing tax on Petrol & Diesel at a time the bloody things (remember, fuel gets taxed twice - fuel duty + V.A.T) need cutting to encourage growth & stop ripping off tax payers by charging more in tax on petrol & diesel than the actual fuel costs. The members of the public commenting below the 2 articles don't sound too chuffed with her either. So much for the potential she showed looking into the Car Insurance rip-off not so long ago.
The previous MP to get into my bad books being Claire Perry - the one completely oblivious to products such as Net Nanny, Cyber Patrol, the filtering built into ZoneAlarm Internet Security Suite & similar products, and even Internet Browsers such as Internet Exploder & Mozilla Firefox. It's now even built into the Windows7 Operating System, for christ's sake. The one who wants ISPs to introduce porn filtering as default on their web access packages, similar to the bloody useless one VODAFONE place on their customers that discriminates against people who can only get a Debit Card, not a Credit Card (that's needed to prove age to get past the sodding filter) + blocks legitimate websites as well as dodgy ones. She was also the one who told the excellent Douglas Carswell MP to f___ off to UKIP, and previously also had an outburst against "Mr Squeaker" Bercow.

The other day I read an article saying it now costs £100 to fill the fuel tank of an average family car.
That means filling your car now costs:

That means filling your car now costs:
- £11 more than one of those Amazon Kindle E-Reader gadgets
- Filling your tank 4 times costs the same as an iPhone 3GS cost me to buy outright on Pay as You Go from the Vodafone Online Store last year, or also the same as an iPAD2 16GB WiFi.
- Filling it 5 times costs about the same as a near top of the range Panasonic Camcorder + decent sized SDHC card to record the pictures & video's on.
- British Motorists pay up to 60% Duty & VAT on petrol
- Diesel Prices reach record High £1.50 a litre, and there's more pain on the way for motorists.
- Fuel Prices are pricing motorists off the road, claim campaigners, as car use plummets
- Join our battle to say NO to more fuel tax
- Sign-up to the Fair Fuel Petition today
- Motorists are being fleeced by sky high petrol prices. It's time for reform.
