Their profits are from the drilling operation not the retail side? Companies that are just resellers are really fucked, but the companies getting it out of the ground are raking it in as demand has soared and the market price is stupidly overvalued (see Palast passim on the Iraq effect on oilmen profits, etc). Shell and BP are, IIRC, obliged to sell oil from their extracting company to their distribution company at "market rate", which is why they're raking it in. I'd say I don't care because I dumped owning a car a year back, but our electric bill went up 66% last month. Lovely. MatGB's latest blog post... Linkspam for 8-5-2008

QuestionThat – “Instead, abolish tax credits, and double the personal allowance, rendering the 10p band redundant. This should also produce a substantial saving on expenditure on civil servants.”

…and make a load of families significantly worse off (lots of low paid people with kids get more from tax credits then they pay in income tax).

counting pensions paid by the state sector as 'future liabilities' is crazy talk for fairly obvious reasons Yes, for some reason no-one ever talks about our future unfunded education, police or defence liabilities. I mean, what if what if what if we had to pay the coppers, teachers and squaddies' wages out to an infinite time horizon ALL AT ONCE? Eh? Eh? Alex's latest blog post...

I thought I’d kick them while they’re down and join in the trend of writing open letters to Labour MPs.

I think I would rather have GB thanks. You’re mad. Second thoughts, I’d rather have a General Election so that sane people can run the country.
