Apparently, although here in the Uk petrol and diesel are about £1 per litre to the customer it actually only costs 34 pence per litre to get it out of the ground, get it to a refinery, refine it, transport it in a tanker, store it in secure chambers in the petrol stations, and pay the wages of everyone involved.

Gordon 'robbing Scottish Tosser' Brown takes the remainder for sitting on his fat arse sliding down the opinion polls.

Bush may have his faults but they are nothing compared to Brown's.

I think it was Maggie's lot that started the big tax thing on petrol with some sort of calculation based on "what can we screw the electorate for". But Brown's an arsehole anyway. Luckily his popularity rating is somewhere just below Attila the Hun so he should go on the next election. Should have gone for an early vote when his popularity was high - tough shit Gordon. Can't wait for Cameron to get in so we can all hug a hoodie.

Anyway, back to the gas thing. Don't forget cars in the US only do about 10 gallons to the mile whereas here we get about 30-40 to the gallon (remember those anyone in the UK?). Still, our petrol is too frigging expensive due to the high tax we poor sods have to pay. We'll all have to save up and buy a can of petrol and pour it over Gordon.

Sorry, bad day at work today!
