In a perverted attempt to help reduce pollution, the retards in Westminster raise diesel and petrol prices by 6% a year, in Scotland and England.

The idea is to force people out of cars and onto public transport.

This may be fine in the cushy South East of England where there are buses and trains, but those in Rural Scotland and England MUST use their cars to get to and from work and live their lives.

The SNP should promise to cut fuel taxes for consumers AND cut crude petroleum tax levies on oil companies to get their support for moves towards independence NOW.
