Are we being ripped off (again) - Fuel Prices - oldroverboy

In the papers today, including the telegraph, there are articles about traders manipulating the trades figures, much as they were doing for the libor bank rate. Is there nothing that Call me dave will NOT say is unacceptable behaviour from the city, (which is where many of the tory party donors come from!)

Of course they have been. The people involved are psycopaths... (I am being serious)

Wouldn't matter anyway, if the price of fuel fell by a considerable amount, the govt of the day would use the opportunity to raise fuel taxes anyway.

Surely ORB after all these years you don't seriously expect a career politician to have honour?

Tony Blair was entirely honourable and never lied to us once.
