What happened to the promised 'fuel price stabiliser'
Come on cameron, you were banging on about rising fuel prices when in opposition(even though it was the CONservatives who introduced the fuel price escalator in the first place) and now that you are in government, what has happened to the 'fuel price stabiliser' that you promised? Just one more lie to add to the list eh?
Why are the truckers, farmers and toffs(pretending to be farmers) not up in arms about all this?

How would the stabiliser work in an environment of ever increasing prices?
Ah, it would defer the inevitable. Nothing more.
It was a completely flawed idea that sounded good at the time.0 -
It went to the same place as " There will be no rise in VAT"NO to pasty tax We won!!!! Just shows that people power works! Don't be apathetic to your cause!0

Were TOO SOFT as a country - FULL STOP!!
In France/Spain they STOP the highways and block the road.
People NEED to have BACKBONE in this country, And stand up and DEMAND that the Fuel prices do NOT rise out of proportion.
When you comment at a Fuel station - Some people don't want to make 'Comment' and - Dismiss the argument - And say it doesn't effect/It won't effect me.
EVERYBODY WILL BE EFFECTED - FULL STOP!!

Meh.... Prices go up, 1 month later the garages do "VAT beating price deals" and they come back down for a little while. If you can't see we're being treated like cattle, you must be blind....“I may not agree with you, but I will defend to the death your right to make an a** of yourself.”

Exactly, except they will just trot out the same excuse they have for all the other 'promises' they have broken since getting in....
"The state of things with the economy were much worse than we imagined, and have had to make tougher decisions accordingly".
In other words, a catch all statement to cover them when they change their policies as they see fit.

For the first few years they blame everything on the mess they inherited. Then when that wears a bit thin, we elect the opposition back in on more empty promises.
