Petition

Drop the duty of fuel in the current fuel crisis

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

In the current climate where the working person is already taxed to the brink and struggling to make ends meet. And in a country with the highest fuel duty, the current government need to reduce the duty of fuel and other petroleum products
I think its self explanatory. The British public can't take much more taxation or rises in the cost of living
