Better start saving for next winters fuel bills

Today petrol has jumped by 2p a litre on the forecourt, gas has almost doubled in price so we can expect a deepening of the cost of living crisis. Thank you very much to Donal Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu....not.

Ok nobody I know liked the regime in Iran, but just blowing them up was never going to work, did it not occur to them that the Iranians would fight back? The clerical regime in Iran is just as entrenched as the Catholic Church, you wouldn't expect to blow up the pope and St Peters in Rome and have no one to take over. I'm sure the Iranian regime has just as much structure and fall backs as the Catholic Church does. Now we all seem to be getting dragged in, I'm really pleased Starmer said NO to Trump using our bases, there's no legal basis for this war and I suspect that as ever America just wants us along to help with the death toll, it's about time a British PM didn't follow the US blindly into its foreign wars.

Whats even worse, is that from everything they keep saying, they don't even know why they went to war in the first place and as ever theres no plan for what ahppens when the war ends.

  • ‘Not Our War’ U.S. Allies Balk at Trump’s Strait of Hormuz Demands - NBC article

    Hey I’m glad y’all are fighting back against Trump, but I really, really hope that his nonsense doesn’t impact U.S. relations with NATO post-Trump.

  • I think everybody thinks Trump is an aberation and when he goes normal relations will resume, thats unless of course we all end up with someone just as bad?

    Trump says he didn't believe NATO allies would come to America's aid if needed, my understanding is that NATO is a defensive alliance, if Iran had attacked America we'd all be there, but as it was the other way around, we don't have too. I think this ill thought out attack hasn't gone according to what ever fairytale plans were made and now Trumps bored of it and wants out. But now he's disrupted everything, he wants others to come and pick up the pieces, how could any allies trust that as soon as they arrived, that Trump wouldn't just pack up his navy and take them all home and leave like they did in Afghanistan?

    I managed to get petrol at £1:35.9 today, other places are selling it at about £1:42,9 and some of the out of the way places at £1:50 a litre. Prof, I wonder how that would go down on your side of the pond?

  • Prices are up for gas here, too, but I have a bad habit of not normally paying attention to what gas is worth lol. Terrible habit, I know. My wife thinks I’m nuts for not caring which gas station sells the cheapest.

    I feel like it’s been about $10 more expensive per tank for the last few weeks.

  • That’s horrifying, I’m so sorry
