Tube so expensive

If you're going to try and slag someone off do make an effort to get your
facts right first of all. The price of motoring, icluding fuel, has
reduced since Labour was voted into power. It was the Tories who
introduced the Fuel Tax Escalator to push the price up faster than
inflation.
I don't have any facts as to whether the cost of motoring has come down, but
I do know that under the Conservatives it was possible to buy unleaded
petrol at 41.9p per litre and yesterday I paid 83.9p. How does that equate
to a fall in fuel prices under Labour? Also, one now has to pay £5 to enter
central London during the day. Okay, I accept you can't directly blame that
on Tony, and AFAIAC I personally benefit from the CC, but we wouldn't have a
CC today had the Conservatives been returned to government in 1997.
