PUMPING IT UP: More misery on the way as crude costs filter through

Wednesday May 7,2008

THE PUBLIC has reached boiling point regarding Government taxes and excessive prices.

Today the Daily Express reported soaring petrol prices are costing motorists £10.5million a day, causing financial misery for UK drivers.

On top of higher petrol pump prices, supermarkets are being forced to axe the 'BOGOF' or buy one get one free offer as shoppers hit by the credit-crunch are forced to reduce their weekly shopping bills.

The are also concerns that the number of homes being repossessed could soar through the 100,000 barrier this year amid rising household bills and heavy debts.


ARE YOU WORRIED ABOUT TAXES AND SOARING PRICES?

ARE YOU FEELING THE CREDIT-CRUNCH?

DO YOU FEEL LET DOWN BY THE LABOUR GOVERNMENT?

LETS PUT THEM UNDER PRESSURE

28.07.08, 4:36pm

If Parliament were to be cut by 50% we would still have too many! So let’s make that a starting point.

For every Regional MP, one less in Westminster, for every EMP, one less in Westminster. Then we cut the House of Lords as Tony suggested, cut the commons by the same percent!

Now we have a starting point. Every minister that fails to reach a target (they are set by them) has their pay and ALLOWANCES cut by the same %

Lets have parliamentary work conducted between 9am and 5 pm that will save on heating and lighting in the commons! And make MP’s work to schedules, the sort they impose on us their employers!

How long can this go on, Labour in power then the Conservatives in power,Labour in power then the Conservatives in power etc,etc, Iam convinced this is nothing more than a farce, just when the British people have had enough, you think there is a light at the end of the tunnel for a better future,but all you get is MORE OF THE SAME.

A thousand times yes, I am fed up with being fleeced under Labour and all their outlandish policies. My husband who had retired has gone back to work part time so that we can maintain a reasonable standard of living. We are so much more worse off under this pathetic Government it is not true. We looked forward to our retirement and being able to do things together, but that went out of the window with Commisar Brown and Co in charge. A general election cannot come quickly enough.

..we are being fleeced. On the German News this morning it showed three oil tankers waiting to off load their cargo, but are waiting until the prices go higher so that they ca get more profit.

It is about time the British Public took to the streets.
