I agree - its not a funny post, and I'm a raggie. But I dont think the "united front" bit would have made the slightest difference. We were always going to be forced into the EU tax straightjacket - the original deal was only a temporary concession. And how can you justify tax on road transport diesel on which we depend, and not on someone's yacht?
So why do aviators have ultra-cheap fuel for pleasure then? I'm pretty sure it's all made from oil you know.
I have no problem with there being a tax for marine diesel for pleasure use. It's the amount of it I have a problem with.
