Petrol hits new high
People need to read thread concerning fuel petition and sign up otherwise we will not be able to run these vehicles and they will become just a static thing of beauty; not what they were designed for.

Fuel duty always rises before a planned duty rise. Then the chancellor cancels the planned rise. He still gets his money due to the hike. The oldest trick in the book.

Yeah, like when shops hike their prices then drop them again prior to a half price sale. It's all a big con.

The last government outlawed the blockading of fuel depots as a means of protest by use of the terror laws. Bend over and cough up I'm afraid |

Until we start acting like the French and burning lorry loads of sheep nothing will change.
They all talk about "kick starting the economy" or "stimulating growth" then make it too expensive to actually get to work. I refer to the quote in my sig strip...
