Wahaay let's all have cheaper fuel, bollocks to the planet! Great. At some point we have to wake up to the real cost of global warming and IMHO the only way to reduce fuel usage is to price fix. Even biofuel is indirectly causing havoc, with parts of the Malaysian rainforest being felled to then grow Palms to make biofuel to feed the demand for 'green' fuel, FFS! It's a shame that road tax isn't scrapped and the revenue it generated is gained alternatively by increasing the fuel cost, at least that way the old lady who drives twice a week for shopping will only pay for what she uses rather than a fixed sum whatever the usage, ie the polluter pays.
Whilst Brown's lot are not fantastic by any means, the 'opposition' at the moment is a an ex Etonion who will look after the rich just like his mentor Thatcher did, and carry on shafting all bar the upper & upper middle classes. I can't remember the conservative party being helpful for the majority of hard working men and women in the past (1985 miners!). Blair turned New Labour into what was traditional tory ideals and left the tories with nowhere to go, and the lib dems are now the socialist party, bizarre!
Just my 2penneth I'll await the flaming! ;D
