Re:
Absolutely agree
we are being robbed blind
most of the price of fuel goes on duty
so a small rise in actual oil price means a large rise at the pumps, most of which goes to the government coffers
The chancellor is quite literally raking extra BILLIONS from the recent rises. This was many he hadnt budgeted for, and basically he has a windfall
and its OUR money
An answer would be to cap duty against the price of a litre.
Say, 90p per litre. So duty would only be levied up to 90 p a litre, and anything above this would duty free, so if there was a small rise in oil prices, there would be a small rise at the pumps
Sounds fair? of course it does
So that means they automatically wont use it
The government can only bail out a private bank with 26 billion quid, and spend millions EVERY DAY to alow lazy sods to sit on their fat arses, if they have that money spare in the first place
everytime some other country has a bit of bad weather or a few rumblings in the ground, you know that within minuites our government will be throwing millions of cash at the them
but when the people who created that spare cash in the first place - the hard working, fully employed british family man taxpayer - says "c'mon mate we're at breaking point here, when cant afford to travel, eat, heat or pay for our houses - how about a bit of OUR money back" we know what we get
******* nowt
and dont get me started on billions being wasted on a freekin glorified tent (millenium dome) or the billions now being blown so the********* chinese and yanks can show us how good they are at jumping up and down or running a bit faster than the bloke next to them
woop - de - dooo, Croatia or somebody has won a medal for doggy paddle or something else ****, and each one will cost US, the taxpayer millions
**** them, **** them all
