Sooooooooo...as I understand it, when Dave was in opposition he thought that the SNP’s idea of a sliding petrol tax in line with the ever changing price of oil was a good idea. It offered the motorist some stability. So when the price of oil, and therefore petrol, went up, the tax would be adjusted downwards so that the Treasury, whilst still making more money than they had anticipated, would not “make a killing”. And the poor motorist would manage to fill his ca
r.
Then when he got in to Downing Street he did a U-turn on that policy. Well no surprise there, there are a bunch of U-turns to chose from.
Then he was put on the spot by Andrew Marr on his Sunday morning programme and he kinda did a U-turn again: “ It is something I have asked the Treasury to look at because when you are filling up the car and it's £1.30 a litre, it's incredibly painful for families up and down the country and I understand that." quoth he.
Love it. Can I tell you Dave, that it’s painful for single people, couples, families and anyone else at £1.30 a litre. Families have no exclusive right to the pain. It will soon be cheaper to use Vodka to fill up your car “up and down the bloody country" (where did they get that phrase), and possibly across it as well!!!

He went on to blame Labour. It was their tax and the government wasn't able to stop it. What? Even after two budgets Dave?
Anyway, fear not, he made another U-turn yesterday and said that he didn’t want to get people’s ho
pes up....
Ha ha ha ha ha ha . Get people’s hopes up.... I think not Dave, we have abandoned hope, all who have entered here. Well, except of course for the royal family, who seem to be doing very nicely out of this government. (Sir david Cameron, maybe?)
U-turns seem to be his stock in trade, but this is a hum dinger, as my granny would say. A U-turn, on his U-turn on the U-turn on the pledge... Only a highly trained U-turner could do that without getting very dizzy and falling off their polo pony, and poor old Mrs Thatcher must have fallen off her broomstick.
So don’t worry Dave. It was a pledge before the election, we expected you to break it. Our hopes never left the ground.
So what was today’s U-turn?
