What to do with the labour poo?

I've read some of the comments on here since I last posted and while some were amusing I have to say that some were very valid.
While I agree that we need to curb the green house gases we produce and that world demand on fuel will create a shortage we also have to look at the wider picture. Our government currently places a tax that’s as high as 65% on fuel. 65%. Work it out. The average cost of fuel is now 114.9p per litre. Minus 65% of that the fuel actually costs 40.2p per litre. Can anyone here actually justify 74.6p per litre in tax because I can’t. I know that all of it doesn't go to the treasury as I think 16% of that goes to the EU for whatever reason.
If the government really want to save money then they should start with pulling us out of the EU and place the real power back into the public’s hands as well as save them a couple of thousand pounds per year per household. Next they should cut government spending. It's widely known that they just throw money at projects without any serious thought or proper planning. Look at the Millennium Dome and the NHS and mass CCTV installation. The NHS has just confirmed a 'delay' in its project to computerise medical records. What’s the point of that? Aren't they already using computers anyway? What’s the point of blowing 12.7 billion pounds on such a system?
I'm having real difficulty in understanding what Labour is doing and how far they are willing to go. It’s as though they’re deliberately trying to cause the nation problems so that when the next government come in they’ll have a mountain of problems to deal with that will make that government party look bad thus putting labour back in the publics eyes as the better choice. I don’t know, perhaps it’s just my mind working out conspiracies. Sooner or later everything will come to a head and I’m guessing that the Poll tax riots will look like a bad, bad day at Glastonbury compared to what will happen once the nations frustrations come out.
Perhaps what we should do as a nation is organise a mass protest whereby we all stop using our cars for at least a week. Obviously if we all do that then businesses can’t function no one will be at there place of work costing the treasury more money than it would cost to cut fuel duty and scrap their plans for the new road tax system and the proposed EU backed road pricing scheme.
