The Truth: We Were Lied To


What a surprise. Weeks after all the panic buying at the pumps that boosted the revenues of the service stations, the oil companies, the haulage companies (including massive over-time wages for drivers) and put many extra millions into the tax-man’s purse, suddenly and without grabbing the headlines, the strike is off.

Strike Off Fuel Prices Up. The Truth: We Were Lied To

Pants. We were lied to. I said it back then and I’ll still say it.

This government with it’s corrupt £250,000 lunch with David Cameron tickets for sale to the highest bidder (typically going for the measly sum of £250k) led us, once more down the garden path my dear, once more down the garden path.

I’m not interested in the small print. It will just be more lies. More BS. more spin, more propaganda and generally digging themselves out of the hole they dug and kindly dragged us into…

The fact remains that profiteering was at work as we panicked the prices went up by a few pennies here and a few more pennies there for no legitimate reason.

We were lied to. Plain and simple. They knew what they were doing and it worked.

And now fuel prices are about to soar (as if they hadn’t already) to a whopping £1.60 per litre. Yes, a poxy litre of juice will set you back almost as much as a school dinner with diesel expected to reach £1.65!

We have all been shafted. Well and truly in every available orifice and before we pull our britches up the tender loving is going to get much worse as this corrupt nation of ours drives us deeper and deeper into crisis, debt and – I hope, revolt.

This government is so bent and corrupt and, while sponging off the top of a system at it’s knees, haven’t got a bloody clue what it’s like in the real world as families toss a coin between topping up the car for the week of running the kids to and from school, getting to and from work or buying some bread and milk…

Cameron (in a blatant attempt to dodge bullets – and eggs – from the public outcry) is too busy flying around exchanging flirtatious glances at leaders who haven’t been on the Christmas card list for decades (why?) and too rich to give a damn.

The tax-man can’t get any money out of Amazon’s billions so we (you and I) are the ones who are forced to top-up the pot before it drips dry. We don’t have any loopholes. We can’t fly out of british air-space for ten minutes to avoid paying our tax. We can’t move headquarters to avoid £30+ million of tax obligations…

No we have to stick around with our pants round our ankles waiting for the next session of Cammy love!

Liars and spongers, the lot of them.
