Called in to 4 petrol stations on way home this afternoon. First three only had diesel, fourth had no diesel but both e10 and super unleaded.
There's been queues outside petrol stations here this evening 😡

Think back 12 months when petrol was £1 a litre and you could get from the north circular to Westminster in twenty minutes.. Esso and BP called, they want their lost profit back!
E5 super is at £1.40 now (80% of which goes to the treasury), the energy suppliers are screwing up recovery not the government

They ARE the government some would argue. 🤔

Hegelian dialectic.
Not even sure I've spelt that correctly now.

I actually live in a London Borough that is now bankrupt, haven't worked as a "finance person" for over 18 years, live in a modest semi and have never eaten anything so gross as a fried Mars bar....

I am not an anarchist, just a realist. The whole institution needs a complete shakedown from top to bottom. We have a civil service who have been set in their ways since the early 18th century, "big" business who can afford to bulldoze their way in to government affairs and policies, "career" politicians of all colours who serve their time and then join the board of multi-nationals (e.g. Nick Clegg, Libdem now Farcebook).
It has always been them and us, and it will always be us that suffer...

I really do expect every institution is going to get a shakedown!

No point in getting angry you just need to play the system to benefit yourself, be it tax evasion cash in hand work, cough, importation/exportation you just need to massage the rules to your benefit.
 
No political discussions within the club

Not angry @diable just resigned to the fact that we live with the establishment we have. Doesn't matter who you vote for you still end up with a shower of shite

I'm a natural born pessimist @Mark76e I honestly believe that those who voted for Brexit are deliberately being shafted by a pro-europe elite who want to go "cap in hand" to Brussels begging to be let back in!

Will never be as bad as back in the day, people need to suffer to realise that what they have is fantastic....

Does not matter who you vote for, the Government always wins, I realised that a long time ago and play my own game by my rules.

I am thinking of starting up the Pensioners Party so that people can have a say.... anyways,
