F***in' oil companies!
And what about all the tree-huggin' liberals who won't let us build nuclear power plants or drill for oil in Alaska or off-shore or wherever proven reserves are known to be!
3.79 to 3.85 around here.

The price of petrol in Britain is beyond belief now and it continues to rise. Mr. Gordon Brown has to be one of the worst prime ministers this country has ever seen, and thankfully his term will be short. On the back of rising fuel costs the ever so thoughtful Brown wants to raise road and fuel taxes yet again.
It's been the time to revolt in Britain for a decade now but the the Great British public can't find the backbone it lost 60 years ago; it must have been 60 years ago when we lost it 'cos that's the last time I've heard it being used.
Some truckers have made a protest in the streets of London earlier this week - thank God. I want Britain to really tell the government what a mess it is. Brown's answer has been to call for increased production of U.K. oil to halt rising costs... it just goes to show that education of that level doesn't make you smart, it just makes you greedy.
A simple 10% off fuel tax would ease the pressure on British motorists and all British industry; but the government can't allow their pockets to hand over some gold. To remove all problems the British government just taxes people ... then overworks them... then taxes them even more to solve the problem of heavy drinking because we want to forget that we work all the time... make the next target for the terrorists 10 Downing Street while Mr.Brown is in there on his pile of £50 notes, the tw@t.

I take you're not overly impressed with Mr Brown, D
I have to say I get a small pension on top of my normal wage but I have to pay 40% tax on it, after already paying tax when I saved it in the first place I'm not very happy at getting a second dose.

9ZAR/l here ($1.4/l), UK is getting ridiculous price wise at the moment - the tax on petrol is at like 188%. Did read somewhere though that the price of oil in Venezuela is ~20 US cents a litre...

True - but the average Venezuelan makes only $2000 USD a yesr.
True but that is also roughly the average wage of most of the countries surrounding South Africa and most of them have higher fuel prices than here in SA...

Amen Gnomey.
Botswana, Mozambique and Namibia pays less for petrol/gas than we here in SA. We produce petrol out of coal and gas, but we sell it to other countries for cheaper and import again.
Mr.Brown did raise the income tax for the vast majority of the British public. Sure, he lowered the income tax to 20% but then removed the 10% tax bracket. He gave with one hand then took even more with the other.
I can't stand Brown I think he's a fat, greedy, lazy, dumb sh*t, wobbly gob, jock, tw@t... and that's being nice. But then the whole British solution to problems is tax.
British people drink too much. Solution - Tax alcohol more.
British people (apparently) drive too much. Solution - Increase fuel and road tax.
British people are killing the planet. Solution - Tax everything that could possible harm the planet.
British people are fat. Solution - Tax.
British people are enjoying themselves, spending too much. Solution - Tax
Now, if the British government had a clue in it's tiny collection of tiny minds it'd hunt down the route cause of these problems...
Britain drinks a lot because we are over-worked. We, as a nation, work some of the longest hours in Europe (if not the world). We are worked until we've got one foot in the grave. All we have to look forward to is the weekend and those drinks that let us forget the last week. Solution to heavy drinking is to reduce the working hours; give us a few more holidays.
On the Green issue (with cars, and everything else); I don't think lining your pockets with gold would stop any climate change. The government knows people won't give up their cars for public transport because public transport is turd. So they charge us more to use our cars; which are the only realistic way of getting around. If climate change was real the government would be more sensible to over incentives to people for buying hybrid cars, fitting solar panels to their houses or fitting combi boilers. You don't hear the government saying they'll pay 50% of the price for solar panels on your house; save money and the planet.
Kill 'em all...every last fcuk wit in the government... all as greedy and stupid as each other. If they cared so much about this country they'd take a drop in wage...imagine if every politician took a 5% drop in wage...what kind of money would this country save !
