Sounds like a fairy story to me TBH.

Thanks Gen hadn't see your post when I replied to Badger.

It was on a Galloway sponsored platform.

Petrol Threat To Cons Chances

:rotfl:

So petrol is sold in dollars. Labour opt for a weak £ stratergy cutting interest rates to 0.5%, QE and other stuff. Thus the buying power of £ v $ weakens leading to massive inflation on petrol prices.

Condems get into power and yet Ed Balls openly continues to support the 0.5% interest rate policy today.

So Labour are the party of high petrol costs.

Remove all public sector pensions from 5 years hence including accumulated /deferred elements.

Remove CPI link for those in payment.

I think we'd be better off forcing those barrow boy scum bags in the private sector to pay the proper level of tax instead of what they choose to declare!;)

One nurse is worth fifty of his type. Gossiping speculator scum bags like him should be ignored in my view. They represent everything that is wrong with us. Greed and self aggrandizement!:mad:

What do you do for a living Moby? You seem to hate all employers & you've already said you wouldn't consider running a business.

So do you take money from someone whilst hating them or live off the rest of us? Just curious.

Hmmmn - wondering if we should forget eu speech, economy shrinking,lords reform,boundary changes in bin - if theres one thing 'what done for the Cons' it'll be the upcoming petrol panic at the pumps - and that's the one thing Osborne can do absoliutely nothing about! (His policies have initiated a likely triple dip, shattered confidence, loss of triple a credit rating resulting in msking our currency more worthless which can be a good thing for exports, but not in this case! (petrol is bought in dollars, so is likely to now go up and up, the ONE thing neither Con nor Lab voter will EVER forgive! Dangerous times now for wobbling coalition, hope all parties are prepared for 'sudden events! EndGame for the CamOs duo?

Is there any particular reason you think petrol prices are going up?

They mustve slipped that one under the news radar yesterday when no one was watching! Link above, heres more detail about floodgates opening and petrol going up 4p just for starters with more rises coming :

Mr Madderson (from Petrol Retailers assoc) said ' George Osborne should abandon plans to increase fuel duty from September.
"If fuel costs continue to rise as our sluggish economy and loss of AAA credit rating weaken the pound sterling against the US dollar, the Chancellor must abandon plans to increase duty ... when he presents his Spring Budget.
"Householders and businesses will be hard pressed to cope with market fluctuations let alone more Government tax intervention."

Youve misunderstood - the companies arent putting their prices up because they want to, they actually DONT want to - it's Osbornes mess of the economy and currency markets - he's made the pound weaker against the dollar-which we buy petrol in. as Both the eurozone and the US now have growth because they changed to Plan B , leaving poor little britain scrabbling at the bottom of the pile. One of the only economies not growing now (Ireland Portugal US even France are on the turn and others too)
