This morning diesel fuel at £1.10 per litre, thats £5.50 per gallon in old money! Huh, what a laugh 'old money' and this Government is about to add yet another tax hike, plus the VAT will be put back up to the higher rate soon and the Oil Companies who didn't make quite as much profit (poor souls) are looking to increase prices also, to keep us supplied if ever you did! Are we b....y stupid or what, why do we put up with it, why aren't we on the streets protesting? America is apparently afloat with oil, why hasn't our Government done the same? Maybe they did but sold it to others to get a few shillings into the coffers here, doesn't it just make you sick? Why are we paying such a high price for fuel, please answer Gordon Brown! Why not join us here in the POE forum to hear what the public really think? |

Anybody see a common theme in all these threads that Ron started about banks, govt, etc. Any of you who live near Sherwood Forest better run and find Robin Hood. Where is that boy when you need him? lol

That is outrageous! When I filled my tank earlier this week I paid $2.67 per gallon. |

The robbing b......s keep adding a couple of pence here and there thinking we don't notice, but something will surely have to happen soon because its literally screwing the life out of us! Less fuel sold, less cars on the road, less manufactured, less jobs, less able to afford the mortgage, less able to afford a decent meal.....couldn't care less, and then we are in big trouble!! |
