Has it really took the European Commission this long to decide that the public are being ripped.
It's bad enough in the UK with the tax the Gov bangs on fuel prices !

>> Robbing us from all sides!

And that's only the half of it.

The seriously rich use their power, influence and money to take more and more from those of us at the other end of the scale - they care nothing for human life - only for how much they can take from us. They watch the earth's poorest people die by their thousands day by day, but are more interested in their own positions in the Rich List.

They are monsters.

Arm ourselves?

Just kiddin'...

We should start by demanding that our politicians track down our super rich that participate in tax avoidance and hammer the b*stards.

That'll do for a start.

So, what will come of all this, one thing for sure is we drivers won't be seeing a big fat cheque for over payment, but if it is found they have been rigging it (and Why? did it take Brussels to find out what we as menials have been saying for a long time?) they are calling for the monies to be paid back to benefit the people - not in a government pot.
Do we think will happen  ::)

Be nice to see a huge fall in prices but my guess is with the amount of profits these companies make, they don't employ some apprentice to do the accounting. It will be covered up
