However, seeing as the Treasury are getting in bumper amounts of duty from the refinery & production stages, there is definiately some scope there to cut the tax on the pumps.
Only if he wants to, of course.......

Yep i do agree with you Boxby re worldwide issue, but i still think the government could step in and attempt or at least be seen to attempt and slow down the rising prices.
in 1997 when new labour came into power gordons fav word was prudence and stated how he can take this country forward etc etc. He's took it forward and pushed it off a cliff. Seriously tho, i often wonder what hes playing at, then the 10p tax abolishment.....sorry but the song still plays...gordon is a moron.
Edit
The media doesnt help the country - but then there is no news like bad news
