Can someone please explain something to me................

The Chancellor has cut vat to 15% to encourage us to spend more, but then it says these cuts will have to be paid for with rises in duty for petrol, beer and fags. How the f**k is that supposed to help? Surely we are paying less for some things but more for others.
