Mini Budget & Profiteering At The Petrol Stations Or What - Prices Shot Up

[The Samaritan]

As expected the clown cat taxes on fuel at 50 a litre from 18-00hrs last night, fact!!

We went out for a light breakfast this morning and drove past two fuel stations:

BP was 182.9 yesterday and now almost 188p
The other station saw from a distance was just under 181p yesterday and 187p today

A gut on the radion this morning rang into LBC and told the presenter that at a Esso station he
noted the price was 188p per litre this morning higher than a couple of days ago he said. He asked the cashier and they said fuel prices rose last night or something like that.

Several weeks ago and a few months ago the press accused the suppliers of profiteering when prices had peaked weeks earlier.

The gov takes over 50% and I think the figures 54/55%.

I blame our good friends Saudia Arabia and UAE who we arm to the teeth with weapons
and igonre their human rights inactions.

At this rate infaltion may hit 9% by the end of the year.
