Looks like we have lived through the best times for the UK and it is all going to be downhill from now on. 

I can't see a Mrs T in the wings, to recover the country through low taxes and enterprise. Profit has become a dirty word again like it was in the 1970's. Things will have to get much worse than now, like the 1970's 3 day weeks, rubbish in the streets, IMF loans etc., before there will be a strong politician with vision, ie a leader, to sort the mess out.

Mind you it might happen from 2015 onwards, when we have 3 day weeks again, where under EU law all dirty power stations much be closed and with the delay of the new nuclear there is going to be a massif energy gap. How are all those electric cars going to be charged?

Replace 'UK' with 'western world' and I think you'd be more accurate.


Since someone mentioned road tax - one of the things the government is talking about is taking VED in 12 monthly instalments by direct debit to make things 'easier' on us. Pfft, the only reason they're doing that is because they know we'll then feel warm and fuzzy that it's "only" £21 a month instead of a £250 lump. Then they can slowly jack it up, because really how much different is £25/mo? Oh it's "only" £4 more .. except that's really a nice extra £50 a year and suddenly VED is £300 instead of £250...

You think it's expensive just now .....?
Wait and see what happens when Israel  bombs Iran and they in turn mine the  Strait of Hormuz

Reading today's paper, there's a garage in Chelsea, Texaco, Petrol is £1.74.9 and diesel is £1.79.9, the owners of the garage is a multi millionaire and he finds the Conservatives! Disgusting! Apparently is bordering on the highest price on the planet!

Hmm now thats high , maybe its going to go above £2.00 . Once people cant afford to run the car they will lose the duty and then slap it on something else ...you cant win

The price can fall.  In 2008 that petrol station in the Google pic may have been showing around £1.20 for petrol and £1.30 for diesel.
