The bottom line is, when the price of oil goes up, petrol prices go up, so too does the cost of living. It costs more to manufacture and transport goods, so industry tends to naturally pass that on to you and me, the consumer! Because of our dependence on oil we’re slowly being squeezed from all directions.
Thanks to the greed of the major oil companies, not forgetting of course our money grubbing government; we work hard to earn a living so that we can line the pockets of some fat cat scoundrels who are busy telling us how much money they have made out of us!
There’s absolutely no justice anymore. So maybe it's time for blockades at the refinery and go-slow convoys on the motorway again.
