Payback time
The debt owed by consumers has fallen for the first time since records began in 1993, £635 million more was paid back than borrowed in July. Total outstanding debt dipped to £1.46 trillion
According to Lucy Cockcroft, writing in the Daily Telegraph, Ruth Reed,the President of the Royal Institute of Architects, believes that the Prince of Wales is abusing his position attempting to influence planning decisions.
When oil was trading at $140 per barrel we were paying £1.08 per litre at the pumps. Now that oil prices have fallen to $72 per barrel we are paying.......er...that's right £1.08 per litre. This is due to tax rises ( of course the VAT collected also goes up and in January when VAT returns to 17.5% it will go up again). Now 80% of the price of a litre of fuel at the pumps is tax.
More protests are to be staged against the new Kingsnorth clean coal power station. Obviously our Eco hippy friends don't do reading, research, investigation and certainly aren't aware of the reports yesterday about the looming energy crisis. I'm sure the rest of the country, especially our pensioners, are really pleased that these people can push up the price of our domestic fuel so that they can look right on and cool to their mates. Rather than protesting why not do something constructive? How about putting together your own power generation project? Might I suggest giant hamster wheels that you can run around in.
SKY News is to stage a debate amongst the leaders of the "three main parties". Interestingly I wonder how SKY have decided who the 3 main parties are. In Scotland that would be SNP, Labour and LibDems. In England ( based on the last national election) that would be Conservatives, UKIP and the LibDems. Or do they mean just the same old, same old?
