He's on a roll now, must be gearing up for a snap election, self proclaimed saviour of the global economy, Gordon Brown has today called on Petrol retailers to reduce the price at the pump. Good call Gordon, but don't kid us that you and the man with the dodgy eyebrows aren't taking the largest slice of a litre of unleaded with your 65-70% fuel excise duty and your 17.5% VAT on top.
When you've finished telling petrol stations what to do, why don't you start telling the banks that we tax payers now own to start lending us our own money at competitive rates. So far you've nationalised or bailed out our biggest mortgage and financial institutions with upto £500 Billion of our future taxes (no doubt higher taxes) - HBOS, BBG (M-Ex) ,LTSB, RBS (Natwest), Northern Rock but they still aren't passing on the recent BOE base rate cut.
What next, are you single handedly going to end world starvation, reverse climate change, save every endangered animal, find a cure for cancer, aids, the ageing process and create global peace and harmony
