Various media report that Petrol prices have reached record levels of around 120p a litre, perhaps over 130p a litre in some rural areas.
The useless Labour government has presided over an utterly inept "Energy Policy" and has so mismanaged the economy in general, that the UK is now being hit by fuel price increases in part due to the weakness of the £ pound against the $ dollar.
To add further insult, the Treasury has gone ahead with its increase in Fuel Duty, with more to come.
Remember that the actual tax on petrol is over 180%, if you ignore the weasel words which are used to separate VAT from the Fuel Duty tax
Tax is tax and the price of petrol at the refinery gate is a tiny fraction of the tax taken by the greedy Government.
If you get the chance to talk to prospective Parliamentary candidates, of whatever political party, then ask them in public, in front of as many mainstream media journalists as possible, what exactly they will do to reduce the burden of fuel prices, if they are elected.
Punish the politicians who are vague or ignorant or who can see nothing wrong in the current and predicted price of fuel, by not voting for them and by telling all your friends not to vote for them either.
.
Doing nothing politically in this General Election, by not voting, or by not questioning political parties and candidates on their Fuel / Energy price policies, is a recipe for financial ruin and misery for you and your family.
