Diesel price - Again

About time too....inconvient and bad timing, but about time

The only problem I have is that I fear that the price we're paying now for
fuel is about right, environmentally speaking, it's just that the money thus
raised is wasted by the govermint, rather than spending it on something
vaguely green.

Don't Agree with Shackles the Gov are nicking once again
off the Motorist

enlightened us thusly:


indeed, they are, that's not the issue I was making, though.  In fact,
that's more or less a given, now.

It's just that I have this increasing feeling that we SHOULD be paying a lot
for oil; there's a limited amount of it and we're using it at a profligate
rate.  I suspect that it'll last my lifetime, but I'm by no means certain -
and as for the kids who are young now, who're getting on for 2 generations
behind me, they're very likely to end up in a world where mineral oil is a
scarce and valuable resource which people, being people, fight over.  Oh,
wait, they already do :-(

summat worrerz funny about:

Nah, there are althernateies that are viable but the dudes that are making
money from it the likes of Bush are making too much to be caused any pain at
the mo.

Anyone who makes it viable will be likely to mysteriously disappear off the
planet because of the loss in  the oil market.

What may change things is if Iran ramp up the price as they have suggetsed
to 200 dollars a barrel. Then the alternatives will be viable and no doubt
unleashed by the likes of George W or his then counterpart.

As long as theres chips and fish there will be landrovers ;-)

Quite. If you think things have been pretty nasty so far you havn't seen
anything yet. *Anyone* who stands between the US and it's oil supply will
be splatted out of existance without a second thought, that includes us.
Russia or China might be able to put up a bit of fight but no one else
stands a chance.

about:

But with China in the picture too it's a different story. In fact I think
the US forces are so depleasted they would struddle in Iran especially with
the state of their economy. And I can't see all the allies falling for the
weapons of mass destraction trick again. As for our lot well Brown will be
out of No 10 by then anyway and we'll have to see who we get next.

fighting in the middle east with the US to try and get a few drops from

I cant find anything about it anywhere else.. Another Metro exclusive?

Here in north California, a (S)hell station in Vacaville has been at US$4.00
a gallon for diesel fuel for a couple of weeks now. It kinda sorta takes the
fun out of travelling. I know, you guys in Europe & the UK pay more, but you
at least get something back for your tax money.

Ummm...If I'm wrong, please correct me, but I'm told that you have a
passenger rail system that works? Much better than ours, anyway.

No, not 'round here.  Must be thinking of Sweden.  Then again, their
56% income tax might pay for that.  

All we get is a crap NHS that's so bad that anyone who can afford to
has private health care, an education system so bad that anyone who
can afford to sends their kids to a private school, and a police
force so bad they sit around all day filling in paperwork when they
could be out tasering the innocent public.

Why don't I leave?  Canada's too cold in winter, America has too many
guns and George Bush, Australia has too many things that'll kill you,
and I haven't got around to checking out New Zealand yet.  Pretty much
anywhere else requires either learning another language and/or dealing
with a government even more despotic and corrupt than ours.

Cynical?  Moi?

Not at all. That summed up my own feelings pretty well too!

Fear not, I'm sure the Home Secrtary will be along to Jolly all those
officer shortly. She clearly values officers contribution and has adopted a
policy of encouraging English and welsh Police officers today with her
considered just rewards to do 0.6 % less of anything at all in the same 40
hour week... which surely has to be a good thing... thats a 0.6 % saving on
Stress and welfare associated costs... a 0.6% reduction in energy costs,
trees felled to feed the policing machine and much to our Governments
delight a 0.6% reduction in the population of prisons. This will also lead
to a 0.6% reduction in recording of crime as we will be disinterested by a
factor of 0.6% in comparison to earlier levels of disinterest. Compare this
to true levels of inflation and the Home Secrtary clearly knows her stuff in
ensuring around a 2.5% reduction on anything by the Police being done in
real terms - or at least thats what she's trying to encourage.  Who says
politics is complicated!

Tough on Crime, Tough on the causes of crime... shortend to Tough Tough
Tough for those actually trying to make a difference.


Not enough!
