Fact is, 95% of us call it Road Tax. but because you call it road tax doesn't mean it exclusively gets spent on roads.

A fool and his money..... Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 Just now, Stu Peters said: No, it's been rebranded as VED or RFL to suit the current mood. Fact is, 95% of us call it Road Tax. Exactly, it's descriptive and universally understood. I hate smug bastards who "correct" that. Incidentally, was it ever rebranded as such in the IoM? I've never seen it called vehicle excise duty or road fund license on any government literature unless I've missed it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a deliberate choice and given the decision made, one or other or both should also choose to resign if they really want government to be perceived to be in anyway credible.

Too subtle for you? I have re read the thread and can’t see any such suggestion. Anyway. I am surprised what has been common knowledge for months has taken so long to come out.
