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)

Well, a falling pound will put all prices up - why just focus on the effects on petrol?

Yep particularly necessary items such as food, energy, fuel and suchlike. The stuff you can't do without.

I am sure people like Apple and the like will be able to shave some of their colossal margins to hold prices though, if people decide they are still into vanity projects rather than eating and keeping warm.

It was a specific comment. I don't disagree with you.

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:

At least his commentary opens up a fresh angle of thought. Premiership Football/SKY/Apple are no better and probably make a dam site more but they are seen as OK by many.

You need to read whole thread - its about the effect on us ,the voters! Petrol has long been the single most contentious issue among price rises (workers cant work without it! fuel, whether bus diesel, train diesel,petrol for cars....) and many families are close to the edge - they have Nothing left to cut - from their budget! This will be disastrous for Cons in Feb, coming up to spring budget, duty increaswes on top etc, decisions,decisions for OsBean ! He needs a cunning plan...

Wookster

Did this moron say that France was on the turn?

It is official, he is a true red moron as he doesn't know which way it is turning.

Really?

Don't dispute some will be on the edge. SKY, Smart Phones, subscriptions, beer, fags, Costa, holidays, takeaways, lunches etc.

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.

I don't 'live off anyone'. I work in the public sector in criminal justice. I supervise high risk criminals and do assessments of their risk for the Courts. My training is originally psychology and I went to Jesus College, Oxford and was there the same time as posh boy. He was at Brasenose. I knew him and his crony sidekicks vaguely. My views of him and his type are based on experience not reputation.

It's hard to describe just how wrong this is.

There is no fixed exchange rate policy in the UK since the UK exited the ERM in 1992. Labour threatened to take the UK into the Euro but internal divisions meant they was unable to thankfully: Labour were too incompetent to square that circle.

The FX markets are not a vote on how well economies are doing. There are hundreds of drivers of FX rates: speculation, travel and trade being 3 main ones.

Have Labour developed a policy on the Pound? Google 'The Pound in Your Pocket' to see previous Labour success with exchange rate policies.

I know you have the right to freedom of speech but it would be better for all of us if you could take the time to understand what you're on about before you engage 'keyboard' (clearly a mobile phone, presumably used on the way to school).

PS Raping children still isn't funny, even if you edit your post afterwards to hide what you wrote.
