The AA

I fucking hate the AA. If they just stuck to fixing cars by the side of the road I wouldn't mind.

But what's this crap?

"The money to fix all Britain's potholes could be raised within 100 days if increased profits from VAT on fuel were diverted to the problem"

Don't get me wrong - as a cyclist potholes cause me more grief than most. But surely this country has bigger concerns than potholes.

Aside from the fact that tax hypothecation is a big no-no, would the extra revenue not be better used paying off the national debt? Or helping the poor pay their fuel bills? Or improving health care? Or education?

Their president says

"If nearly 2p a litre from fuel tax was diverted into a pothole fund, for once UK drivers would be seeing their fuel tax disappearing into a black hole they can understand"

I'd pay some tax to see his holes filled.
