Ok, fuel prices are rising to record levels, with prices just short of £1.50 a litre in some parts of Leicester, and it is not to be just blamed on the events in Lybia, No believe it or not fuel is heavily taxed, so in effect it is tax upon tax upon tax upon tax, well you get my drift, So running costs are rising for bus and haulage companies, but they are expected to charge the same price for the delivery of their services.
As I have said, if you look at the room you are sitting in, ask yourself what items in that room havent been in the back of a lorry at some point? I will leave you to answer that one.
I firmly believe that to lower the price of fuel, would get the economy going again, but the trouble is the government are quite happy to take the taxes. In some ways I hope the country grinds to a halt, then they will be sorry. I understand there are some fuel protests planned, and I support them, I dont want the country held to ransome, but it is important to get the wheels turning again, this country was one the workshop of the world, now it is a joke. We have given our industry away, or been overtaken by nations who took new ideas onboard.
Other things I have heard about are a planned march in London on the 26th march. This being organised by the TUC, but I bet lots of Anarchists and students will be in attendance. A couple of days ago I got reports of a court proceeding being hijacked by 300 protesters, who tried to arrest the Judge.
What is going on? well lots of people are angry, and hacked off with being taxed to death, having the cost of living rise, yet are expected to make do on what little they earn, while fat cat bankers, who probably went to the same public school as half the cabinet, get away with bonuses, and scumbags are allowed to cheat benefits, while those who should be entitled to it wont claim or told they cant claim because they dont meet the crieteria. I dont blame the last government, I also blame all of the other governments before, who added to the build up. The tossers are wasting our money.
I have worked hard and I have paid my taxes and I am proud. I dont want anything from those tossers, but I want to see my taxes go towards worthy causes, and not fighting a futile war in some baron desert country, just so some rich tossers can get control of the oil, to feed their wealth. GRRRRRRRRRRRRRR.
Right rant over, and I feel better, I better stay calm, So I have just been writing abit more and I am really getting into it. it is becoming something to be proud of, and I will be pulling no punches either.
I am going to get on now, hope you like tonights picture, I think it is very fitting. TTFN
