BROWN SET FOR ANOTHER BUDGET U-TURN AS MINISTERS HINT HE MAY SCRAP FUEL TAX RISES

Two Cabinet ministers paved the way for a Budget U-turn on car taxes today as the Government struggled to halt the slide in its popularity.
Justice Secretary Jack Straw and Business Secretary John Hutton stressed that there would be a fresh look at Budget plans to raise vehicle excise duty by up to £200.
Labour insiders are prepared to ditch the most controversial element of the scheme - to impose a retrospective tax on cars bought between 2001 and 2006.
The change could come in the pre-Budget report in the autumn, although it is possible it could be announced even earlier.

Rebel MPs are pushing the Treasury to stop the damage to Labour by using the final days of the committee stage of the Finance Bill next month to signal that some of the rises planned for next year and 2010 will not go ahead.
Amid fears of a fresh revolt by Labour MPs, Mr Straw said ministers were 'listening to public concerns'.
He added: 'It's already been made clear in respect of vehicle excise duty, that's the car tax, that this is not due to come into force by next April.
'If there are going to be decisions about this, they could be announced in the autumn statement. It's very important that we take proper measures and we judge things properly.'
Similarly, Mr Hutton - referring to the climbdown over scrapping the 10p tax rate - said the Chancellor was 'listening to what people are saying as he has done on a number of occasions recently about tax rises'.
The Business Secretary added: 'People are concerned about it and it is right that we listen to people's concerns.'

Jack Straw and John Hutton have both hinted there could be a U-turn on road tax
Next week a delegation of rebel Labour MPs will meet Mr Darling to voice concerns over backdating the increases in vehicle excise duty to all cars bought between 2001 and 2006.
The move, which was championed as a 'green' tax, will hit seven out of ten motorists, including the owners of popular family cars and small runarounds.
Gordon Brown is facing a fresh backbench rebellion over the plans, which would see seven out of ten motorists hit by higher road taxes.
Mr Hutton said: 'We are trying to get this balance right between encouraging choices to go green but not hammering people.'
Asked about today's action by hauliers, he added: 'Again, the Chancellor has got to take all that into account ... people have the right to protest.'
Hundreds of truckers descended on London in protest at rising fuel costs, amid fresh concerns among MPs about the Government's proposed road tax changes.
Depending on their car engine emissions, millions of drivers will have to pay hundreds of pounds more per year under Budget proposals that kick in in 2009.
Rebel MPs are particularly unhappy the road tax increases will now apply retrospectively and are warning the issue could be as damaging as the 10p tax row.
Mr Darling is set to hold two crisis meetings with backbench Labour MPs next month in a bid to head off the revolt.
Sources close to him today said he was 'very aware' of backbench concerns that the increase could damage the party's waning popularity still further.
At present, motorists are exempt from the top tax band if their car was bought before 2006 but the Budget tax rises - claimed to be a 'green' tax - apply to all vehicles bought between 2001 and 2006.
A host of family cars bought before March 2006 - many used every day for the school run - will see their road tax double from £210 to more than £430.
These include the Vauxhall Zafira 2.0i, the Vauxhall Vectra 2.8i V6 Turbo, the Renault Espace 2.0 Turbo 170, the Ford Galaxy 2.3i Zetec, the VW Passat 3.2 estate and the Honda Accord Tourer 2.4.
According to tax experts, Nissan Micra owners will pay 24 per cent more while the bill for a gas-guzzling Hummer will go up only 14 per cent.

Retrospective: The Budget tax rises apply to all cars bought between 2001 and 2006 as well as new vehicles
Backbenchers warned Gordon Brown and Mr Darling that the issue was so explosive it could match the storm surrounding the abolition of the 10p tax band which saw a Government U-turn and a £2.7billion climbdown.
The rebellion risks further undermining the Prime Minister's authority as he fights to head off a leadership crisis, the row over holding terror suspects for 42 days and fears of a Cabinet resignation over embryology laws.
In the new case of backbenchers flexing their muscles, 42 MPs - 35 of them Labour - have backed a Commons motion from Ronnie Campbell urging ministers to reconsider the car tax.
'It is unfair on people who bought their cars a few years ago not knowing that the Government were going to put this road tax on,' the MP for Blyth Valley said.
'When people get their road tax letter through the door next year and find they have got an extra £200 to pay - well, I don't have to say any more, do I? The motorist is taking the brunt again.'

Rebellion: Labour MP Ronnie Campbell has tabled an amendment asking the Government to reconsider the road tax
The new taxes threaten to wipe thousands of pounds off the value of most cars when they come to be sold.
And from 2010 motorists face a 'showroom tax' of up to £950 when they buy a new car to discourage them from choosing high polluting vehicles.
Enlarge
Labour MP Rob Marris, a junior member of the Government, said there was a 'significant risk' the issue would outstrip the storm over the 10p starting rate of tax.
'It is retrospective taxation and that is undesirable,' he added.
'Millions of people will be affected. Medium- sized family cars, depending on what sort of engine they have got and what size of CO2 emissions they have got, could be hit very hard.'
Greenpeace executive director John Sauven said: 'There are ways around the fuel price increases that are good news for the climate and good news for drivers' pockets.
'Keeping your speed below 55 can save more money than the recent price hikes and cut CO2 as well.
'But in the long run the Government needs to force car manufacturers to build more efficient vehicles.
'As it is Gordon Brown has failed to take a lead in Brussels where talks on vehicle efficiency are coming to head.'
Neil Greig of the Institute of Advanced Motorists said: 'This will affect millions of motorists and is particularly unfair to those who bought a car based on the size of their family and will now be hit with a tax they weren't expecting.'

Catch-22: A U-turn could make Gordon Brown's leadership look even weaker but without a change of heart, he risks a damaging backbench rebellion
A delegation of rebels will meet the Chancellor when MPs return to Westminster next week.
Mr Marris told the BBC: 'I shall be urging Alistair Darling to have a rethink. There is still time to have discussions and I hope they will be fruitful.'
Under the existing system, cars are divided into seven bands for vehicle excise duty ranging from £300 to zero depending on greenhouse gas emissions.
From next April, there will be 13 groups with the highest cost of road tax increased to £440 and some family models will move up several bands, leaving the middle classes to bear the brunt of the changes.
Rises for small runabouts will also outstrip those for Rolls Royces and Porsches, demolishing Government claims that it is a "green" tax.
Last night Matthew Elliott, of the Taxpayers' Alliance, said: 'Now the credit crunch has hit people's pockets, there's no longer any public appetite for higher green taxes.'
A Treasury source told the Mail: 'Alistair knows it is a cause for concern and he very readily agreed to meet these MPs and hear those concerns.
'But he will be will be very disinclined to do anything, whatever it is, before the pre-Budget report in the autumn.
'He has to look at the whole thing in the round. He is already looking for £2.7billion and it ain't easy.
But Environment Minister Joan Ruddock made clear the Government would not be forced into another tax U-turn.
'These things are all a matter of balance,' she said.
'What we cannot afford to do is to lose sight of the environmental agenda because this is everybody's future. This is the future of the planet.'
Mr Campbell, speaking on Radio 4's The World at One, also urged Mr Darling to drop the planned 2p increase in fuel duty in October.
'People just at this moment can't afford it. They really are feeling the pinch,' he said.
A Treasury spokesman said the aim of the road tax reforms was 'to ensure that people gain financially by choosing the car that pollutes the least.
'For 24 out of the 30 most popular models bought in 2006, drivers will generally pay lower rates than they do now.'
It is another headache for Mr Brown, who was warned by civil liberty rebels that he still faces a battle over his proposals to detain terror suspects.
On top of that, Transport Secretary Ruth Kelly, a Roman Catholic, is reported to be planning to defy the Prime Minister by refusing to vote for his plans to extend embryo research.
• The French President today declared the European Union should consider capping sales tax on fuel products if oil prices rise further.
Nicolas Sarkozy also suggested siphoning off extra revenues from taxes on petrol to create a new fun for professionals hardest hit by the jump in energy prices.
He told RTL radio there was no sign the price of oil was going to fall and said the EU should consider a joint approach to the problem.
'If the price of a barrel of oil continues to rise, are we going to allow VAT (sales tax) to keep rising proportionally? My proposal is that we should stabilise it,' he said.
Such a move would need the approval of all 27 EU member states and could not be introduced unilaterally.

Panic sweeps through the Labour party and the budget is re-written (10p fiasco), then re-written again (fuel duty), and presumably will be re-written again in the next few weeks. Gordon Brown's claims to economic competence are in tatters.

- Ian, London
Simple solution to high fuel prices: Walk.

There is no limit to how much oil countries can charge for oil, because the alternative is so harsh. So if petrol doubles or triples in price you will still pay for it because its a comparative bargain. One barrel of oil is equivalent to 7 man years of work.

- Peter, Battersea
I'm all for green initiatives and sometime we do need to be pushed, however, while the country's transport links and infrastructure are so poor and in such disarray, this seems ill thought out and badly planned.

KHOODEELAAR! the inner city, East End of London CAMPAIGN AGAINST Big Business trojan horse 'House of Lords' bureaucracy, updating on lies...

London Tuesday 27 May 2008


Why is the UK 'legislative' 'House of Lords' a discredited part of the 'British Parliament' ?

The immediate answer is that in a so-called official first report published dated today 27 May 2008, the 'House of Lords Crossrail Bill Select Committee' makes a totally untruthful statement about objectors against the Crossrail Bill.

Khoodeelaar! will be, as we have announce this morning, dissecting the role of the select committee and of the other parts in the course of this week.


We start by exposing the latest utterance of abject lie and unconstitutionality by the report published today in the name of the 'House of Lords Crossrail Bill Select Committee'
It states as follows:-


"


32. Some Petitioners chose not to appear and some withdrew their petitions after satisfactory negotiations with the Promoter of the Bill. We were pleased that a sizeable number of Petitioners were able to settle with the Promoter in this way and we are grateful to the specialist experts employed by Crossrail on noise, settlement and compensation issues particularly, Mr Rupert Thornely-Taylor, Professor Robert Mair and Mr Colin Smith respectively, for their work with Petitioners and for their explanation of issues to the Committee and to those Petitioners who did appear.
"


The utterance that " Some Petitioners chose not to appear" is a lie. For it has ben made in the fullest knowledge on the part of the select committee members and its bureaucracy concerned of the literally thousands of statements made by Khoodeelaar! stating that we were OBSTRUCTED from putting our objections in person before the Select Committee.

In the next parts, we shall show AGAIN and with updates [since our last reports] how the obstructions were operated by and by the 'House of Lords Crossrail Bill Select Committee' bureaucracy that has been promoting the agenda of Big Business, Bechtel and City of London interests...

[To be continued]

There have been 113 listed objections [called 'petitions'] against the ‘Crossrail Bill’. The Khoodeelaar! objection is listed at 113. The last on the list. Although the objection is listed in the name of KHOODEELAAR! the objection is also backed by all four constituent [parts of the Khoodeelaar! campaign area. That is, people from Brick Lane, Whitechapel, Bethnal Green ‘south’ and Stepney London E1 area signed the prescribed form and reiterated the authorisation of and support for KHOODEELAAR! representation of ALL their opposition to the ‘Crossrail Bill’. All ordinary walks of life in the East End of London have been represented in the Khoodeelaar! constitutional law objections to the ‘Crossrail Bill’.

The actual ‘formally presented’ KHOODEELAAR! No to ‘Crossrail BIll’ document as published on the House of Lords web site [see the document by following the link to KHOODEELAAR!, below] contains only the briefest of points against the ‘Crossrail Bill’.

The details of the objections have been put to the House of Lords. And also published on the web sites of the Items newspaper and of other external publishers, publications and outlets. We shall be taking a detailed updater look at all the key events. In the coming parts..

Gordon Brown today should spare a moment and reflect about the consequences of allowing Big Business CRASSrail hole plot agenda to be given any more GOVT backing. And so should Alistair darling,. Brown’s finance front man in the cabinet. As Darling meets with the alleged ‘30 rebel MPs’ representatives to talk about averting yet another ‘rebellion’, he should consider what he would do if the Khoodeelaar! campaign h as many MPs backing us....

That there are no numbers of MPs supporting the campaign against the Crossrail hole plot must not delude Alistair Darling into thinking that we are any less important .....

Or that we are any less influential over what happens to their administration..

We are about to do what we have been promising for 54 months we would do if the CRASSrail, hole plot is not scrapped: go to court......

Procedures have delayed any court action upto now....

And Alistair Darling should recognise this - a court action has been known to have caused a previous UK Government to scrap an Act of Parliament.....

And the present ‘Crossrail Bill’ is, still, as I write, only a Bill.. a draft piece of dubious legislation..... So it should be far more easy to scrap this Bill than an Act of Parliament.....

The noise that a court action of that magnitude may generate will indeed be quite audible...

Does Brown need that?

Inner city East End of London to Gordon Brown's rescue - by the Khoodeelaar! constitutional law route: It is economical. It is timely. It is prudent....

Just by scrapping the wasteful ‘Crossrail’ scam, Gordon Brown can achieve several objectives. Without it costing the public a single penny. In fact if Brown can do as we ask him to do, he will restore a good deal of his lost prudence.

SCrapping Crossrail will at once bring to an end the several hundred million pounds that are being waste din maintain the Crassrail bureaucracy.

It will also spare the UK GOVT humiliation by adjudication by the European courts
As Khoodeelaar! has said to Brown all along, the statement by Alistair Darling, made on 22 February 2005 in the House of Commons claiming that he, Darling, was satisfied that the contents of the ‘Crossrail Bill’ were c compatible with the [European Human Rights] Convention....

The contents are NOT compatible.

Also the behaviour of the two select committees - stooged select committee in each of the two Houses of Parliament - that were put in place for the formalities of a bogus scrutiny of the ‘Crossrail Bill’, has shown that THEY TOO are and have been in breach of the UK’s constitutional obligations under the Convention...

If the two ‘Select Committees’ on ‘Crossrail Bill’ have themselves NOT overtly deliberated on breaching the Convention then they have breached the Convention by default and by negligence and by their bureaucracy [for it has in effort been the same bureaucracy: more on this later]

Khoodeelaar! has given Brown that option, at least since October 2007 when we updated our evidence in the context of the UK’s international constitutional law obligations... In the detailed constitutional law arguments by Khoodeelaar! we show that the 'Crossrail Bill', being pushed through the two 'Houses of UK Parliament,' as a 'hybrid bill', is in fact unconstitutional.

On the evidence of past analyses, Khoodeelaar! is confident about Gordon Brown’s potential to turn things around, as far as defusing Ca-Morn’s balloon goes.

But Brown must not tell lies, either. Brown may have begun to put on a smile, but his smile must be real. He must resolve to only smile when the people can freely smile too.

The worries, anxieties and stress that people experience daily, even more frequently, are real. So Brown’s empathy too must be real. True. Honest. Genuine

What Brown should do now is to show that he does not need to wait until things get too volatile before taking decisive action.

We say that the Crossrail hole agenda is stuffed with garbage to the point of unreality

We have said so for 54 months.

From Saturday 31 January 2004 to Sunday 25 May 2008

Now Brown should call Big Business bluff and defuse once and for all the CRASS idea.

He should say, Rod Eddington had the right direction.

And Browns Should say, the people have not called for it.

Crossrail is a toy. It is a ploy for Big Business. For City of London . For Canary Wharf... And for the careerist likes of the insecure, egoistic Ken Livingstone...

If Brown needs extra evidential ammunition, he can cite the ‘small businesses’ objections to the City of London-Ken Living stone ploy forcing the small businesses to make hefty contributions to Crossrail top the extra amount they have to pay to make the City of London’s stunt come true.

There are plenty of OTHER credible and legitimate sources that Brown can cite to destroy the CRASSRAIL hole plot-backing plug that Big Business planted for years via Ken Livingstone...


Brown can do it and he can get ADDED credit for defusing the CRASS rail imposition...

Khoodeelaar! has just summarised the way that Gordon Brown can begin to get back to the ‘prudent’ mode!

Gordon Brown can listen to the East End campaign against Crossrail hole plot : He can scrap Crossrail and save his reputation... and a great deal more

Days before the Crew and Nantwich by-election, I had said :

“Gordon Brown can only really ride the Crewe 'derailment' out by telling the truth and nothing but the truth.....And by scrapping all wrong deals...”


Now that the Crewe derailment has been confirmed and even the Guardian is openly touting for a challenger to Brown ti come out in the fashion of Geoffrey Howe’s stabbing of Margaret Thatcher, I have the following clear call to Brown: tell the truth Gordon and stop all attacks on people in ‘low’ income and people who are already disenfranchised in society.

Why?

Because if David Ca-Moron can make a ‘surprise’ appearance in the East End of London, right in the middle of the ‘most widely known multiracial, multi- cultural’ part of inner city London, and if he can do so on a spot inches away from ‘Atlee House’ in Toynbee Hall, in Commercial Street [in memory of Clement Atlee, one of Gordon Brown’s predecessor at No 10 Downing Street] and then make a stunt appearance look even semi- ‘credible’ as he promises to solve the problem of ‘homelessness’, then it must be time fro Gordon Brown to be told to listen really hard. And fast. And to act on what he is being told.


I am telling Gordon Brown from Brick Lane, which is the next street along side Commercial Street.


I am telling Brown that the David Ca-Morn circus is not as yet real. Ordinary people in these streets still do not relate to the Ca-Morn party.


But then the ordinary people do not relate to the former Labour Party now Blaired, either.


But there is an at atmosphere which Blair created . that atmosphere is one contempt for the time-servers appearing in the name of the former Labour Party, now Blaired and fronted by Gordon Brown.


There is thus an emptiness.

The ‘party people’ ‘who are successful’ [and thus the ‘visible, flaunted faces’ of the Blaired Party] in the East End of London are almost all of them linked with the local Blaired Tower Hamlets Council.

And the Councillors, especially those who are part of the operation of the corrupt Council’s controlling clique, are widely associated with misconduct, selfishness, sleaze and corruption and are perceived to be misbehaving selfish sleazy and corrupt.

If there is a challenge to Gordon Brown’s claim to legitimacy, the challenge itself can gain legitimacy from the continuation of the misconduct and sleaze that leads to this perception.

And Gordon Brown, by all accounts, is NOT getting this analysis from his ‘advisers’. Be the ‘advisers’ are placed in his kitchen. Be they placed in his cabinet. Or in between. Or on n the corridors at the expansive No 10 Downing Street.

Gordon Brown cannot retain any electoral credibility in the East End of London if the ‘best’ that the Blaired Party he fronts can do in Tower Hamlets is to resort to perhaps the most discredited parts of the population for ‘support.

As has been witnessed again in the past 3 weeks during the staging of the ‘local council clique equivalent’ of the fish market where individual councillors were being bought and sold in return for token [and cash-incentived] places in the hocus pocus cabinet on the Tower Hamlets Council.

So widely discredited is the Blaired party controlling clique on Tower Hamlets Council that Ca-Moron’s man on the Council from the ca-Moron enclave so far sited on and around the Isle of Dogs, Peter Gould, decided last Wednesday [21 May 2008] to openly mock the entire process of ‘leader-making’ that formally took place in the Council chamber. The location was the antisocially sited, remote and antidemocratic ‘Mulberry Place’.

Although Peter Gould is not known to be a likely contender himself personally for any of the Council ward seats in the Brick Lane, Whitechapel, Bethnal Green ‘south’ and Stepney London E1 area, it is conceivable that come any general election, his band and his brazenness will be positively treated by many voters, indeed a large chunk in the electorate, who would have been counted as ‘solid’ ‘traditional’ supporters of the former Labour Party even as recently as 1 May 2008.

The electoral and the political map is undergoing faster change in the East End fo London than Gordon Brown appears to know.

On all key issues, the ‘Blaired party timeservers’ operating in the name and at the expense of ordinary people in the East End fo London, are failing.

Whether by design or by ignorance, or by lack of basic abilities, basic knowledge and basic competence, is not going to excuse their failures and their misrepresenting the community.

The people have only one answer: TO VOTE THEM OUT at the available next election.

People, fed up with the open abuse of the peoples votes and 'trust' by the Blaired party councillors, will want to give the official Tories a chance.

Tower Hamlets Council is looking set to become a Tory-makrooty council. Sooner rather than later!

And that is a serious state of affairs.

Even to think that is to accept that ‘thanks’ [!!!!] to the misconduct, abuse and sleaze and lack of accountability by the Blaired party councillors for years in the East End of London, local people are ready to give the definitive thumps up to the official Tories so that the “official Tories can try to deliver...”

Once that happens, that will be the end of the former Labour Party in the East End of London.


Unless of course the Ca-Moron Conservatives commit a most unpredictable blunder of lasting repercussions against them!

Defiant Brown 'listening' to electorate

Gordon Brown has said he is listening to the electorate and brushed off questions suggesting Labour MPs may move against his leadership.

Journalists questioned him during a visit to London's St Thomas's hospital where Brown said the public wanted the government to address economic challenges.

Reacting to the hammering his party took in the Crewe and Nantwich by-election the prime minister said the message was "clear and unequivocal".

"People are concerned. They are concerned about food prices, concerned about petrol prices and concerned about what is happening to the economy."

He said that the government was working towards addressing these problems.

The prime minister added that his task was to take the economy through the difficult times ahead.

Asked how he could reassure his own backbenchers he said: "People know that the task ahead is to take the British economy through what are very difficult times, difficult times in every country.

"The message from the voters is very clear: people want us to address what are very real challenges, challenges of rising petrol prices when people go to the petrol station, challenges in the supermarket when people see rising food prices, challenges of gas and electricity bills going up as a result of oil prices going up.

"We will address these problems and the message that I think is absolutely clear and unequivocal is that the direction of the government is to address all these major concerns that people have.

I am going to say this one more time to Gordon Brown: you were right to say no to ‘Crossrail’ for years when still the UK Finance Minister [‘Chancellor of the Exchequer’], Gordon. You were right because Crossrail is crass. It is uneconomic, as I have been telling you at least since February 2004. Crossrail is diversionary, as I have been telling you for years since February 2004. Crossrail is obsolete. Ditto. Crossrail is irrelevant. Ditto. Crossrail is a pretext for Big Business contractors to get their hands on £Billions of UK ‘public money’ under cover of ‘transport solution’. Crossrail is NOT a project that the people of London - people, ordinary people in ordinary London - have asked for. Crossrail is a City of London [as difference from any equivalent to a ‘borough council’ cove ring the overstated ‘square mile’ in London] interests-craved ploy. Crossrail is an MIC, Military Industrial Complex-linked excuse to rob the Uk treasury of £Billions to put into the pockets of the MIC operatives. Crossrail does not address even 5% of the ORDINARY London pub lic transport capacity needs. Crossrail is not rationally devised. it is not technologically appropriate to the existing transport infrastructure in and around London.....



I have made these points over the past 54 months in organising the Khoodeelaar! campaign against the Crossrail hole plot... You have known of this analysis., This argument, This case against Crossrail. And until it became clear that you were about to take over tenancy at 10 Downing Street under a year ago, you had remained consistently opposed to funding Crossrail from the public. You did not even say anything for the Crass project...Then you changed! As if by the touch of an illicit, no evil influence, you became different. You dropped your well-maintained guard. And you lost prudence...

The result was that a farrago of CRASS words and CRASS spin issued out of your mouth ...

As if those staged on locations outside Tower Hamlets had not been bad enough, you then agreed to make not one but several appearances on spots in East London alongside Ken Living stone and what you said at those appearances damaged your political image...


And it convinced Khoodeelaar! that you had been hijacked by the crafty, con-trickster Ken Living stone....

As I said, you would sink if you did not detach yourself from Ken Living stone....


Now that Livingstone has confessed [on that ‘ London mayor debate’ edition of the BBC TV ‘Question Time’] that he, Ken Livingstone in fact LIED and PLOTTED to get UK central Govt to pour in cash to the Olympics 2012 stunt, there is no need to go over the other thousands of items of contributory evidence to prove that Ken Livingstone HAS BEEN LYING and that nothing Livingstone says can be trusted.


If it is the peoples’ trust that is the top of the agenda for your attention, Gordon, then the start must be made by URGENTLY and speedily DITCHING Crossrail because it was spun for by a self-confessed liar who did not hesitate to embroil the UK public in a multi Billion £ swindle....
