When will these escalating costs stop?

Question

Car Tax.....UP

Fuel...UP

Gas & Electricity....UP

Food...UP

Does Gordon Brown and his Cronies not understand that we're not all as well off as them...No Expense claims for me...

what are your thoughts on this issue?

Answer 1

no they are thick

Answer 2

i'm SO angry about the car tax i can't even discuss it without exploding...not voting them anymore!!

the hauliers are burdened with such big fuel rises..they have no choice but to pass the costs onto the stores & businesses - so it has a knock on effect to everybody.  my delivery drivers are now charging me to deliver our food supplies...so we have had to pass the cost to our customers...it's a bloody nightmare & i can't see an end to it!!

Answer 3

The costs will stop rising when the MPs have to pay them themselves.

Oh no, that'll never happen.

So they'll keep rising I'm afraid.

Answer 4

At the moment it is a mixture of things.

Inflation is high so the pound is worth less but pay rises dont always reflect what the inflation rate is doing.

Also oil prices are very high so it costs companies more to transport their items. So they can afford the oil they have to put their prices up.

I think the government should realise that everybody is finding things hard at the moment. The last thing people can afford is their car taxes going up by stupid prices.

Answer 5

I cant see the escalation ending anytime soon. I am not a huge fan of Gordon and his cronies but we would probably be in this situation under a Conservative government as well. The trouble we have is that our country is now suffering for all the privatisation and bad management that happened during the Thatcher years and Gordon is copping it!!!

I think that both party's are as bad as each other now

Answer 6

They know but they don care its as simple as that.

Answer 7

They understand all too well but they only care about what affects them financially and they vote themselves large wage rises - we can't do that!
