Politicians like the current unelected PM don't actually care a jot what we the plebs want...

Just out of interest, why do you imagine the current prime minister is "unelected" exactly?

No imagination needed, Cast Iron Guarantee Dave failed to win a majority as you well know hence the unelected PM, incredible when you consider the no competition was Gordon Brown, successor to Cast Irons dad Tony.

What makes you think otherwise?

Seriously, I can't even begin to imagine why you might think he was actually elected.

I think that fuels such as HHO etc are the future and the big oil companies I assume are already looking in that direction as their finite resource starts to run dry.
When the conversion kits come down to one or two hundred pounds to buy and fit I think Petrol and Diesels days will be numbered. I think the large cost of buying them and the scarcity of the supply of fuel is all that is putting many off at the moment.

Not being British, but having lived in the UK for almost 20 years, I can confirm this I'm French, we tend to be a bit more, erm vocal and active, shall we say, about things we're not happy with

The last time a UK government was formed with the support of 50% of the electorate was 1950? and unless you live in David Cameron's Constituency you did did vote for the prime minister.
Under our system we vote for your local MP so in reality all PMs are unelected hence the ability for parties to change leaders of their party mid term (Thatcher / Major and Blair / Brown) and therefore us having a new PM.
More disturbing is Welsh and Scottish MPs voting on English issues which don't effect their respective nations because of devolution.

No. HHO is a hoax, a con.

It's water, and electrolysing it to make hydrogen uses more energy than you can recover by burning the hydrogen again.

If you pay for a so-called conversion kit you'll be wasting your money.

Let me ask you something: Did you sign the FairFuelUK petition? - Please be honest.

Yup, got my dad to sign up also and shared it on facebook a few times.

I also signed up to the Sun free petrol prices.

slighty O/T but the same governmental skewed thinking applies to air travel
it costs no more to transport a 1st class passenger than it does cattle class....yet the 1st class pays ore..being 'in it together'

The paxtax was brought in part in getting less people to fly 'save the planet and little kittens' etc YET they want to build a 3rd runway somewhere to get more people to fly, !!!!!! save the planet get us more money coming in.

Or is it me just not seeing 'the kings new cothes'

why do people even care, petrol prices have barely changed over the last year, increase by a few pence then decrease by a few pence.

There's nothing to sort out, we need the tax income and if its removed from petrol, even slightly it will be recouped somewhere else.
