Well we just had Mr Brown's last budget as chancellor of the exchequer, and once again the bastard has performed his conjuring trick of giving and taking away in one movement.

First analysis suggests that the poorest will get considerably poorer, the middle class will gain, and the rich will lose a tiny amount. Socialism at work again, New Labour Style.

The main problem for me is that I now have a car which will shortly carry a road fund licence burden I cannot afford, and which I cannot sell for the same reason.

When, if ever, will our so called government recognise that for some people, a large car is a necessity. There should be discounts, or even exemptions, where overriding need can be demonstrated.

Perhaps Prescott could be persuaded to give up one of his Jags?...Naaaahh, I thought not.
