    People in UK deserve to get fukced over by the government - why? Because they passively take it up the ricker every time.

    Instead of being mildly peeved on the internet, take at look at what the French would do in similar circumstances - and you call them the surrender monkeys

    I wait with no anticipation whatsoever for no serious or lasting demonstrations.........

    You could cycle. Greener, cheaper but less menacing. Get one of those tandems, the prozzie will think it is kinky, then you cycle off some where quiet and do the deed, so to speak.

    Get some panniers for the tools of your craft, also it is easier to dunk in some domestos and lemon juice to remove "forensic residue".
    Tried that ...too much time cutting up the bodies and loading it into the panniers to move the bodies to my garden (blood is hell to shift off gortex ,if its raining of course)...Nope needs to be a car

    some total throbber from friends of the earth was on sky saying that if people were finding the cost of fuel too much, they should buy a more efficient green car. No ghost of a clue that the poor b'stard might not be able to afford a new car if he's struggling with petrol costs. cnut!

    Dont forget VAT goes back up in a few months to 17.5% so there's another 2.5% to go on top.

    Yippee

    Where I live on the Newtownards peninsula,outside Millisle,we have the last garages until you get to Portaferry,some 30odd miles away.They've had their prices above £1.03 a ltr now for a while now because they know they'll get the trade.
    Me I'd rather drive over the the BP garage in Bangor because the petrol is better imho (and cheaper!)

    Makes a lot of sense to me. It adds to overheads and reduces profits and thus less tax paid to the 'Filth'. It will probably send some companies to the wall.

    The sandal-wearing, tree-hugging 'Green' (the colour of some sick) con-artists say it is a good thing. Remember that when you may be inclined to vote 'Green' and remember also which government ('the Filth') made THREE, THREE fuel duty rises in this year alone!!!!

    Come and live in Germany. This is a weekly event, prices usually rise by as much as 8 cents at the end of the week and fall on a Sunday - if you're lucky.

    School holidays and bank holidays, are just a rip off!

    For the life of me I cant understand why petrol and diesel is over a pound a litre even though the price of oil is about 70 dollars a barrel. I could understand the price rise when oil was twice that price but not now.

    Also, if in a recession we need to make things more affordable how is another 2p on a litre acceptable? Isnt this going to negatively affect the economy?

    I agree with chooclate frog about home produced power. I would gladly put up a series of solar panels to make electricity and to keep bills down but its not the cost of the panels that is putting me off, its the cost of connecting up to the grid and the fact that it doesnt benefit me at all as the cost of electricity is only so very slightly cheaper that puts me off.I also want to puke about being taxed for energy I have produced myself. If I could see my meter going backwards because of the energy I produced I would do it.
    First they came for the Communists but I was not a Communist so I did not speak out. Then they came for the Socialists and the Trade Unionists but I was not one of them, so I did not speak out. Then they came for the Jews but I was not Jewish so I did not speak out. And when they came for me, there was no one left to speak out for me.

    I'm speaking out before they come for me.
