Dozens of lorry drivers took to the streets this week in protest at record-high diesel prices, which have risen by 30 per cent over the last 12 months.
With oil Giants Shell and BP announcing huge profits in the first quarter, how can the high price of fuel be justified? Are the rising costs affecting you or your business? Is it enough to drive you off the road? Share your views.
This suits the government perfectly more tax revenue from you and me plus the north sea many peole cutting car jounerys to save fuel (walking biking to the shops health levels are raised) 2nd cars are then questioned as to there need in the household .So congestion is lowered and the government does not lift a finger .Also food prices rise so the cheap food (others call it ) has gone and people eat less rubbish food and lose weight and health improves win win for the govenment
As was mentionend in a previouse post, it is the poor working class that suffer and not the rich.
NO it is only the poor working class that is effected by it ?
I dont drive, too poor ,too old,, But the rise in price means that just about every thing will be more expensive, Most things have to be carried, usually by road.. Clothes, food, already some food stuffs are more expensive, basic things like bread , butter.. but we will cope I am sure..
Worried no...if we cant afford it we wont use it simple,we have become a nation of whingers and do not rise up to these companies or governments,if it goes up by another 50% what we gonna do,moan....some will still pay it if not all,and the uk government know it,juat like cigs, beer, cost of living etc,and the only thing I can think of, is will petrol/diesel etc make a dramatic drop to where it was last year,just when the labour party want to win the next election?...mmmm?
