In the UK for every gallon bought by the motorist the thieving government
take 70% of that in tax. The UK and much of Europe, the richer countries
anyway, are in the hands of the FEW. Most of which are Jews. The days of
nationalisation went long ago when Thatcher allowed privatisation. Take
it from me the UK is now a third rate country where the bone idle, mass
breeding section of the population, the freebie grabbing semi-illiterate,
(30% of kids coming out of school now, yes 30% are illiterate and
innumerate. So much for the education system) to name but a few are
pampered, whilst those who have worked 50 years, paying taxes etc are now
"in the way". Some silly sod keeps calling it democracy!!!!. Whilst I can
not speak of the US, here we have seen Political Correctness gone totally
mad to the detriment of the decent people. Murders daily. The arab
recently charged with massive crimes of international terrorism, and
named as Europes representative of Osama Bin Laden, had been released on
bail pending extradition and is now walking the streets free. Thats the
way we are, yet some old lady of 80 who can not pay her community tax of
it can only be hoped he will do something for the US to replace the
horror of the Bush regime. And may it rub off over this side.It is only
my opinion, but between them Bush and Blair (now thankfully out of the
way, coward that he is are no different than Saddam hussein, guilty of
being a war-mongering mass murderer, and should have been on the same
scaffold as Hussein when they finally got rid of him. In the meantime,
keep driving LOL. Apologies if anyone is offended, but "We old farts"
remember when friendship and love and help were part of daily life.
