Why not a campaign to REDUCE the price of marine petrol to the same level then?
Surely any arguement supporting reduced rate diesel applies to petrol?

I am certainly no socialist but it does seem a little bit odd that those with bigger boats actually benefit the most from this concession. As I say I am no socialist but underneath it all the Chancellor is and I am sure the above point is not lost on him. - add to this the governments tactic of whenever possible using the "green" arguement to justify new taxation and one can only conclude that the recreational boater is right in the middle of the Treasurygunsight.

Good luck but you are flogging a dead horse IMHO.

I wonder whats motivated the RYA in this then? Having hung the MoBo community on Windermere out to dry have they decided the the Stinkies are important? or is it the case that they are responding to their Yottie members who don't like the idea of paying full price for their five gallons a year!!
