Well the greed of the petrol forecourts are at it again.
Because of the fuel shortage due to lack of HGV drivers, the petrol pumps are way up in price. Diesel is up as well.

At the end of covid 19 lockdown the Ron95 (E10) fuel prices went from £1.26/litre to £1.31/litre, and now with this fuel shortage it has now went up to £1.41. that's a 12% increase in a few months.

How is this justified, as its just inflation.

This is just the tip of the iceberg, as house fuel prices are hiking up, food prices, etc. The Government should do something to stop rampant inflation . Rant over!

Mind you our EU brothers are in a worse state with inflation, with Italy this month moving onto 40% increase in electricity in the home. And Poland considering doing a Polexit from the EU, as they have had enough of them.

Yet they get the most EU money back than any other state, but do not like Brussels ruling them. After Brexit, where we escaped Brussels dictatorship I can see the EU disintegrating during this decade, as other countries like Greece and even Spain are not happy with the EU at all, imposing control on them.
