| Why hasn’t the price of petrol/Diesel dropped here in the UK in line with the price o
Why hasn’t the price of petrol/Diesel dropped here in the UK in line with the price of Crude Oil? I visit France just about every weekend (French girlfriend ooh la, la ,ain’t I lucky), when the price of oil (Light crude) reached $100, the cost of petrol at the pump (A Esso garage by the way!) where I regularly buy my fuel ‘when I’m there’ for my car soared to 1.22 Euros (78 pence per litre), Over the past few weeks, as the price of Oil has dropped, so has the price. So how come the price at the pump here in the UK hasn’t dropped? As a matter of fact it’s sneaked up a few extra pennies!! As a British Subject I’m coming to the end of my tether and I’m just about there…. May I suggest if there is going to be any fuel protests that bring this country to a stand still, I for one will not complain, as I now confess I did the last time. If it’s going to succeed instead of blockading the fuel refinery’s and distribution sites That’s what they’ll expect all haulage firms to do and will have planned contingences in place, you should just stop all deliveries of all essential goods, essentially ‘Cease Trading’ and blockade the ports in the same way the French are so good at showing us. It means that UK firms who distribute the necessities food, water etc, May go to the wall but if the haulage representatives that have been in the media spotlight are correct that’s what’s going to happen anyway if this is allowed to continue And there is that saying that is true today as its ever been, every nation is 3 meals away from civil disobedience. I never thought I would ever be writing this but I’m so fed up with being blatantly ‘In your face’ ripped off by the state that have legally sanctioned this kind of behaviour, for themselves and the oil companies.  |
