fileld out the form butthis is the 3rd time. i think its a joke going up by 16p. we are already getting f*cjed by insurance and tax going up and fuel but now its getting to a joke stage. these c*nts are greedy as fcuk. nothing else to say :angry:

We are all getting raped by insurance due to the way the compensation 'scheme' has gone, with lawyers constantly hassling you to claim for a broken nail and with  people putting on whip lash to get a couple of grand.

I don't think the increase in tax will go to line the fat cats pockets...

All this 'Freemans law' stuff is very interesting indeed.

the governments are run by corperations basicly thet have a say in background, usa is worst for this. So it will never go down unless major public protest some how, they managed it with koni to get government to act in usa shame knowone can lead something here over some issues. I recommend watchin zeitgeist or loose change free docs to watch if google them, if have half a day spare to watch them ha. It bascily shows how world really run and how federal bank is run and fraction reserve banking etc and general history most. teh federal reserve is private bank lending to government same with one in uk as well most people dont even know  :laugh:. Shame most people dont care and just carry on with there lives oblivious.

People are poor and can't see that they work to buy shyte they don't actually need.

Vid is less than 5mins and focuses on the US but it would equally apply in Europe. I also like the drawings.

I filled up with £76.06 of diesel today, that will get me about 550 miles. Absolutely horrendous. I could just fill up once a month and visit my parents & GF once a month, but life just ISN'T that easy. FOL - f**k OUR lives.

The price of fuel won't go down and anyone who thinks it will is kidding themselves, its a foolproof way for any government to pay for phoney budget 'gifts' and tax concessions, i think a better way to save money is to change your driving habits by re-educating yourself to drive with economy in mind which is far more eco-friendly and cost effective than rushing out to buy a smaller engined/efficient car.
My old Mk3 is worth shirt buttons now and if i really wanted to i could go and buy something that is much cheaper to run without trying as hard but i'm pretty sure those savings would shrink to a negligible point just as quickly so i'm just going to try and be a better driver and if we ever have to go back to canals and river travel at least i'll already have a boat  :wink:

Did you know that Fanta (Owned by Coca Cola PLC) came about in 1939 when they wanted to sell to Nazi Germany but not corrupt their wholesome all American image? It's about profit not people.

Its was a similar story with IBM who made most of their money by building custom machines for the Nazis during the war. The machines were never sold to the Nazis but rented to them. American IBM engineers worked on the machines, in germany, regularly throughout the war but to this day they still say that they had no idea what the machines where used for.  The machines they built where to count the Jews as they went into the gas chambers.

the governments are run by corperations basicly thet have a say in background, usa is worst for this. So it will never go down unless major public protest some how, they managed it with koni to get government to act in usa shame knowone can lead something here over some issues. I recommend watchin zeitgeist or loose change free docs to watch if google them, if have half a day spare to watch them ha.

Agreed, more people need to realise this. Also people really need to try and understand the concept of money more, because once you do it is really easy to see why our 'economy' is in collapse, along with the rest of the world.

Debt based money doesnt work, we are playing a continual game of catch up to keep up with the interest that is created on our money. Im not just talking about the individual who gets a loan or a mortgage (although this still creates an inetrest debt where the money will never exist to repay  it) but mainly on a government level. Before 1913 the government created our money when they needed it, costing them nothing. Now we let the Bank Of England print it for us, then we pay them for the privalage with interest. But that interest that is added is never money that actually exists. If you ever wondered where your income tax goes, it goes straight to the bank of england to pay for the interest on our 'money'.
