jonjo2 Â Â 10 #793 Posted March 5, 2012 The government know we all need fuel so they hike it up. we cant do without it and the ***** know that. Theyre all the same Lab/Con/Libdems. Not only do they think we are all stupid, they KNOW we are all stupid.

Xt500 Â Â 10 #795 Posted March 5, 2012 It's because Iran stopped oil to the UK as of yesterday. Expect more rises in next few weeks. Â Â Maybe we should ship it from America then because its only $3.70 a gallon there! Â High fuel prices have nothing to do with Iran or anywhere else,were just being ripped off plain and simple!

jonjo2   10 #796 Posted March 5, 2012 What I can't get my head around is the fact that diesel is so much dearer than petrol, when it used to be cheaper. Apparently we don't make enough diesel any more so we are a net importer of it as a nation!  We must use more diesel than petrol, (think of all the hgv s buses etc) so why don't we make more of the bloody stuff so we don't have to import it?  hi when propane gets used more than disel that will overtake diesel price too Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
danny128 Â Â 10 #797 Posted March 5, 2012 HI have u got one foot in the grave,if so put the other one in. stupid comment, what are we here for??? just to make some mother ****er ritcher.

danny128 Â Â 10 #798 Posted March 5, 2012 Gormless George won't cut the tax on fuel to restart the economy by getting people to spend more but fellow Tory John Redwood was saying cut the 50% tax rate for the high earners to restart the economy. All in it together, what a joke. Â They have to get the money from somewhere to pay for education, nhs, arm forces benefits etc etc, where do you think the money comes from? if they cut tax on fuel they have to put it on something else, petrol can be counted as luxury since you can use buses/tram for most of your needs Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
jonjo2   10 #799 Posted March 5, 2012 The price of things now make one despair. In the last week alone my standing order fuel bill has risen by £20 . My pet insurance by £5 [not fuel i know] this on top of other price increases that one suddenly realises have occurred means that my old age pension no longer covers my out goings. Perhaps our members of Parliament do not realise the situation we are in.  hi they know only to well but ignore it but they increase the money that they give away to these never ending black holes Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

danny128   10 #804 Posted March 5, 2012 i agree with the price increase, this way people will think more careful before they make a trip, much better for planet earth, if we raise the duty more then the goverment will have more £££ to play with, we should raise it to £2-£3 a litre so people will use bus/train/bike/walk more Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
