The Government is quiet on petrol prices

During the lead up to the election and since the George Osborne has mentioned that petrol price rises should be given a stablisation process i.e. if there is a rise in petrol prices then tax rises will be delayed etc.

Now Oil prices have gone up to USD93 a barrel and the petrol pumps have been hiked, the government has now raised 2 taxes on petrol. So we see NO stabilising effect by the government.

It doesn't matter who is in power they are all liars!!

The other thing that surprises me is that when petrol first went to 85p a litre, there were strikes, but now it's 125p a little there is just newspaper mongering!! I find this very odd especially as it hits the poorer paid people most e.g. drivers who earn STG 350 a week and have families.!!

Also this is the first time in a very long time that petrol prices in UK are higher than Holland !!
