Like with everyting in this country, if its a necessity, or something you get enjoyment from, the price you pay for it will be more tax than anything. Imagine if the government put high tax on food,500g pack of mince beef £8 for example, when at the minute its like £2-£3, people either wouldnt eat it or buy cheaper, with fuel, you cant, the only thing can do is find the lowest price station in the area, thats why these wankers do this because they know people can't live/be without fuel, they say its all for global warming reasons, but i say global warming is probably bottom of the list. keeping dole scumbags, young mums and benefit scroungers/cheats and immigrants alive is what we all pay stupidly high tax for, it gets higher each year, and oh look, VAT has just gone up 2.5% its going to get to the stage where we have another war, or rioting starts against parliment, because the way things are going, unless we are millionaires, we are just going to be a boring nation of people who just work to pay taxes with little or no enjoyment factors in life. i was on the dole for a year, and currently ive been working 6 months, i get taxed £50 out of the £250 i earn a week, so i come out with £200 a week, thats nearly 1/4 of my monthly wage. I refuse to rebel against it, or adjust my lifestyle so its cheaper for me to live, thats letting the bastards win and fuck me over, something i wont do, yea i just put up a post about my car drinks fuel but other than that, i survive, would love to move abroad!
