Tax

We hate paying it. It keeps going up. It never seems to go down. Take petrol for instance. The price of a barrel of crude oil has gone down, yet the price at the pumps has gone up. In 1990 when I started buying petrol, the price for unleaded was 44.9p/litre. Now it's 117.9.

CAN THE WESTMINSTER BUREAUCRATS EXPLAIN TO US WHY IT HAS GONE UP SO MUCH?
