Petrols gone up again and set to go a lot higher - is it me or am I seeing things wrong that aren't.
We pay for the Iraq war and then government in their wisdom give the petrol companies the oil. In turn they sell it back to us at ever increasing prices but without our taxes they would not have it to sell. They make millions of pounds profit per second and yet the price is set to go up again and just to rub it in the government are going to increase the tax on it from 1st April.
The banks overcharge us for everything for years and when they get into trouble cos they've spent all the billions of profit they made out of us without keeping anything back for a rainy day. We get them out of trouble with our government spending our taxes to do it. Now they are getting back into the profit they will of course say thank you to us by repaying what they were given and lowering their charges. Mmmmmm I think not - more likely to put them up so they can give out some bigger bonuses.
Many moons ago I was told that there are two types of people in this world. The 5% that are rich who control 95% of the worlds wealth and the rest of us (95%) that are just above broke with the remaining 5% shared between us. If all this wealth was shared a bit more evenly the poverty and starvation in the world could easily be cured BUT it wont happen.
All these people, politicians included say they are out to help us the 95% but in truth they are only interested in helping themselves. Most of the money given to the worlds charities vanishes in expenses unrelated to the cause.
I'm getting old now and maybe cynical but I feel life was a lot fairer in the past and I'm fairly sure that is because people were more truthful and caring of others.
I love North Devon and with this blog and my www.tour-devon.com web site I hope to show you why it is an area you should visit.
