It's long been known the price at the pumps has nothing to do with the price of crude oil. The market is completely manipulated from drilling through to delivery to us who simply have to pay the price demanded. (The irony of recording this podcast whilst driving is not lost on me. lol) The real questions are how do we lawfully regain control of society and civic administration in general. Thanks for your comment, as ever, always great to hear from you. Alasdair. Hi Jay

What gets me most outraged is the oil prices! quick to top them up at the pumps, put up fuel bills ect, all because of prices per barrel! Now they have come down the orriginal price increase suddenly has nothing to do with barrel prices. We need to wake up, this is what they are doing to us people! and we are I am glad to say, but it will take a while. Take care!
