Comment | Whataboutism, there are many issues that have caused this. Mentioning Allah and Muslim countries has no bearing in this. If you have an issue with what I said feel free to point it out, I'm not an economist or financial expert but just like to be educated about this stuff. Recommend watching 97% owned on Netflix.
Issue with fuel is that we in Scotland produce a lot of it but don't benefit from it.
Almost half the cost of fuel goes to the UK Gov in VAT and Duty.
"At the average price of around £1.53 for petrol currently, about 83 pence of that is fuel duty and VAT."

Not to mention that the barrels of oil are sold in dollars, good old petro-dollar, and if that got changed it would be a riot! |
