We have just had a pump raping budget.
It is the last day or so of national big business trading for this financial year.
The Prime Minister has urged us to 'take what precautions we may' in otherwords 'fill up pricks!'
can you not see that we are being manipulated easier than a 15 year old on GHB at a house party?
so what reasons could this happen?
the government want extra tax duty from the fuel refiners. by boosting sales in the last few days, before the tax hike has settled in, the profit on the quarter goes up so they will pay a lot more tax.
the last quarter of last year our economy shrank SHRANK OVER CHRISTMAS
the government want us to be shocked at the audacity of the drivers and fill up as soon as possible. spending our way out of recession.
This spending spree will show very favorably in the next quarters figures wont it? helpful...
The fuel refiners have a back log of petrolium to get shot of because we are all a bit shy of spending at the pumps (this jobby goes off dude!) so the government are giving them a helping hand.
and finally, the poor drivers are pissed off and fancy bringing the country to a halt in the middle of a double dip recession/buttfunk, thus earning the whole nations anger. anger that is rightly directed toward the wankers in power. (im neither con/lab/dem)
now call me a raging consipracy nut but does none of the timing of this 'strike' you as strange?
of the revenue then maybe they will get the message and cut the duty we pay for fuel?
