They're taxing us to the hilt and we put up and shut up...what is it - 70-75% of the cost of petrol is government taxes?? Unfortunately I cant see the price of petrol going down anytime soon..if at all. They make far too much revenue from it for a kick off,,,the current financial mess in this country is this party's doing...Rip Off Britain indeed! Petrol prices going through the roof just succeeds in pushing everything else up...and short of emigrating, I dont see any way out of it!! They're crippling their nation and dont seem to give a toss... the money in their pockets always seems to go up but the ordinary man on the street is scrimping and scraping to make ends meet. OH - and the people MOANING about all the congestion or FAT people - TAKE NOTE - it's not just motorists who are affected by huge hikes in petrol prices - its EVERYONE as it has a knock on effect on everything you purchase as it's all transported by modes of transportation that use - hey guess what - fuel!!!! DUH!!! We as a nation need to take a stand and tell them where to shove it - time for a revolution?!!!! OMG - can you imagine?!!!!!!
