I’ve posted on my other blog about extorionate petrol and diesel prices. It’s one of the UK’s biggest rip offs, but with so many of us dependent on our cars, there’s not that much we can do about it - apart from vote with our feet at the next election. And it begs the question, would it really make a difference anyway?

Now I’m no fan of any political party, and I have to hold my hands up for voting Labour back into power - but this country desperately needs a change.

The PM was quizzed on the ITV news last night (notice the use of the word ‘quizzed’ rather than ‘grilled’, as that would be too much to hope for or expect). Upon being asked to comment on what he, in his role as our PM, is doing to aid us Brits (who let’s face it are now completely skint due to rising food costs, rising petrol and diesel prices, the credit crunch and general ROB exploitation) he completely evaded the question.

When pressed, he muttered about child benefit and winter fuel allowance for old folk. Not good enough, Gordon. There are other sectors of society who you’ve taken from. Again and Again and Again. Such as middle earners (raise the 40% tax band, it’s unfair), childless couples, those of us not in receipt of benefits and so forth.

Sort it out, and count yourself privileged that you’re in a position to do so.
