Fuel prices

[Swanny]

I notice they are rising again >
The woman in the petrol station said that oil prices are falling even though petrol prices are rising.
Yet again we are being ripped off

Swanny,
In my current location I am paying £0.22 per litre of super unleaded fuel.
I wonder how we can justify all this tax money and still be one of the most screwed up countries!

My uncle lives in Dubai where he can fill his 4.8 V8 Cayennes' tank for the equivalent of £17.
Quite rediculous as it cost me that to fill my bike today.

When i moved to Chippenham, just over 5 years ago now, i had a Bandit 1200, it cost me £12 to get to work (full tank as i work in Frimley), i now have a Blade, similar size tank, and it costs me over £25

when I lived in the states a couple of years ago it would cost me about £15 to fill my golf GTI. The golf I had in this country was costing me about £50 at the time.
The prices are horrific, I know things go up with inflation but when other countries pay a lot less because of all the tax that gets added on ours it makes you want to :'(

Because our taxes pay for armed forces, police, hospitals, schools and all the other wonderful things we enjoy in the glorious UK

I think you'll find most of our taxes go to pay for wars and bailing out banks.
As Stunts says the rest are mostly PLC's. The police are definitely a PLC

Careful Swanny they might think we're mad... Of course there is nothing wrong with the whole f**king thing - nothing wrong at all. Work, earn yourself money. Pay taxes, pay taxes on getting to work.

Perfectly sane and acceptable.

It is in effect, another tax on the poor (or those who cannot affford to live in the towns they work in), move the less well off out to the suburbs, then get them to commute in, whilst the rich waddle round the corner.
