Our export oil is the same price as the imported oil. - more revenue.
They are getting extra duty on the increased price of the oil.
And then they get even more duty when the oil is converted to fuel and sold to the stations.
Finally - they get extra VAT when we buy the fuel.
I think the general principal at the moment is to screw up the country to a point where the next party can not possibly recover it in one term.

Yep i would happily pay 54.4p per litre but thats at the most expensive end most in the us are under 50p a litre and the americans are fuming over it.
imagine if they had to pay what we do
I think they would all just fill up and leave. In fact i think we should all do that they can't put us all in jail
