Osborne doesn’t know the numbers

Yesterday George Osborne was at the treasury select committee, when he showed his lack of basic knowledge about fuel tax. Asked how much of the average price of a litre of petrol at the pump goes to his coffers, Osborne got the answer wrong, by a whole 20p per litre. He forgot VAT. Listen to the video below to hear Osborne get the numbers totally wrong. (Hat-tip: Alex from Sturdyblog)
