It is absolute nonsense for the government to blame the high cost of fuel on the rising costs of crude oil. Mainly it is the government's continued policies on high taxation.
The last government left a lasting legacy of damage from the introduction of the fuel-duty escalator, now abolished, to which this government is keen to take advantage and pile taxation on top of taxation!
There are many examples of the government's continued policy of rip-off Britain, where its citizens get a very bad deal as it's take, take, take with nothing to offer in return where families and pensioners are denied a reasonable standard of living and it is sad that the people we have voted for are the robbers!
After all, we live in Great Britain but ask yourself: What's so great about it? Should we be proud of a rip-off culture dictated by the government, and of a country where our pensioners live in absolute poverty, being recently awarded a 75p per week increase in pension?
I totally support the recent demonstrations and am confident that if we collectively keep up the pressure on this government, justice will be served that will benefit every single motorist in this country.
