To save me going through all the posts, please point me at someone who has made a reasoned case for retaing tax free diesel.

I admit I use the tax free in my boat when in the UK. But those visiting the continent have to fill up with tax paid. What are their feelings about this?

I would suggest that logically pleasure boat fuel should be tax paid. We accept the tax on our boat, booze, petrol and other pleasures, so why not the diesel. The up side is that we should seek to reduce our consumption and do a little for the planet.

Please reply. I have an open mind.
