The new car tax changes were set in motion by George Osbourne - former Chancellor of the Exchequer - during the days when David Cameron was Prime Minister. Under the current VED tax scheme, most new car buyers are paying very little (if any) road tax, which is costing the Treasury millions. The new road tax regulations mean that all new cars will face a significant hike in their car tax amount in the first year of registration depending on CO2 emissions, after that it's a flat rate of £140 per year. It's also worth mentioning now that the 2017 car tax changes will not affect your current car, as long as you own it already or it will be registered to you before the 1st April 2017 www.autoexpress.co.uk/car-news/consumer-news/88369/car-tax-bands-what-you-need-to-know

The revenue from the revised VED scheme will flow into a new road fund for road repairs and maintenance.

So, I shall randomly disclose that today I went into town with two purposes. 1/ was to buy a micro SD card (16gb) for my dogs bollox Sony tablet, thereby doubling the storage capacity and .... 2/ was to try and flog my old 7" Asus cheapo tablet which has been lying around the house for yonks. Up to now I couldn't even give the damned thing away, my grandkids looked at it with utter disdain! Anyway, I went to the EE shop and after the 2mins silence that they observed in there, the man came over and sold me the card for fifteen sovs. Then I looked around for some mug place that bought/sold this tablet sort of stuff. My shifty eyes fell on a place called 'CEX' This Asus originally cost me £70 but that was a good time ago. My plan was to ask for £20 but be happy to settle for the £15 that the SD card cost me. The man in the shop clearly had me marked as some sort of master thief and pissed about running all sort of checks on me. So, he gets on his puter and taps a few keys, then sez... "Well mate, the best price we have for this model is £21.....how does that suit yer? "That'll do nicely squire, have a nice day!"

Yep, UKip's manifesto is spot on, it's so spot on that the BBC and Sky news muppets are terrified of it. IMO ..

My plan was to ask for £20 but be happy to settle for the £15 that the SD card cost me. The man in the shop clearly had me marked as some sort of master thief and pissed about running all sort of checks on me. So, he gets on his puter and taps a few keys, then sez...
