Why do the media blame the oil companies and Opec for high fuel prices?

They forget to mention that most of the profit from oil comes from abroad, and benefits Britain.

The real culprits are, of course, the Government, which does nothing towards oil exploration and production.

The Government is guilty of milking the motorists and haulage companies with huge fuel taxes, in turn forcing up the price of everything, including food.

For all citizens of this country, prices of everything are rising all the time.

It's time for large tax cuts on fuel for everyone's benefit, including the country's.
