Just a shame the people of merit for the top political jobs get overlooked.

Please explain the following.
As of August 2022, the price of crude oil per barrel is $89.10, and the average price per litre of petrol in the UK is £1.77p.
But back in June 2008, the price of crude oil per barrel was $187.04, and the average price per litre of petrol in the UK was £1.04p.
So as things stand, the price per barrel of crude oil is 52.3% down from the price in 2008, but the price per litre of petrol is 70% up from 2008.
Can you see now how you are being lied to when the Government and mainstream media tell you that these rising costs are due to the war in Ukraine?
Do they (the government) want to limit how far you travel?

It wont be just the UK that will have more expensive fuel in a couple of years time!
We're in for huge disruptions in the coming years! Don't forget the EU 'fit for 55' & Euro 7 will include emissions from the transportation sector which will come under the ETS for the first time ever. (the UK's ETS is tied in with the EU's ETS) which will mean oil companies selling fuel will have to buy carbon credits for the emissions they produce of which the price will be passed onto the motorist making it even more exorbitant in price.

World politics have been driven by the need for oil for the past 100 years or so but that's all about to change in the coming decades with the shift to electricity for transportation needs.
Countries wont have to be at the mercy of the petro countries any more because they can generate electrons locally via renewable methods which are becoming cheaper than fossil fuel power production YOY. The need for electricity will drive present & future politics, No more energy/oil wars, what price the vast military hardware of the USA in the coming years! there will be no need to fight over it soon because lets face it the USA armed forces are only there to make sure the oil flows.
