Cost of boating to rise.

I have never been on a pleasure boat to the best of my recollection. I am deeply angry however, because the cost for such enthusiasts is to triple because of imposed fuel duties.
A very harsh trick to be played by the government on hundreds of thousands of people - or so it would seem. But no. This is one more imposition over which our government had no control - one out of literally hundreds and thousands.
No. This was imposed by a foreign government; one with whom our influence is minimal; one which does not have our national interests at heart; one which is, in all but name, an occupying power; one whose influence rises year on year; one which is imperialistic by its very nature.
Welcome to the petty, sordid, corrupt, bureaucratic world of the EU!
