I have never mentioned the oil companys because like most people I don't know thier % profit or indeed how many gals.of petrol is refined from a barrel of crude and what the value of the bye-products are.All I know is that 80% of my £1 spent on petrol goes to the goverment.Money that as far as I can see is wasted on trying to be a world power when we are not,except we can afford to spend in the region of £78 billion on a new Trident defence system and roughly the same to bail out a private bank.So to conclude,its not the taxation I object to but the way it is spent.Excuse me while i have a roll up and a can from the Asda.
