Another shower of [edited by admin] who own the politicians. Just like the banks. :sad:

It's not just BP.

And BP does account for a large chunk of folks private pensions.

So maybe it's just a bit of clever restributation. :roll:

Strange how price fixing is bloody obvious to the man in the street but not the politicians who presumably have shares in these companies.

Bloody BP .have you noticed that the toilets are always closed for cleaning at BP service stations, the one at Stansead is always closed, you get told to use McDonalds. I push the tape back and walk straight in Bollocks to them just trying to cut costs by not having them in use.

more likely staff laziness. toilet cleaned at start of shift, when still "reasonable", closed when more chance of "soiling" occuring. No need to clean at end of shift. Simples.

You must have heard something I didn't. I don't think there has been any mention of the price coming down. In fact if anything is found and the oil company's get big fines, I expect the price to go up so that they can afford to pay the fines.

BP and Shell will turn round and say to the EU, "We'll give you £500million each to say nothing". The greasy palms of the EU fat cats will be greased once again.

BP is still 2p a litre cheaper than Tesco down the road, and cracking fuel to.
