£8 a Gallon

The last couple of years we have seen a drop in people participating in Martial/Grappling Arts and because of the crisis of the Middle East there is talk of fuel going up to £8 a gallon, this will spark the end of some Major Competitions Home and Abroad as people can not afford to travel. You will see more and more tournaments in small halls. Yet what is the government doing about it? Nothing. Remember every time the price of fuel goes up the government get more Tax so why do they not say the tax on fuel when we came into power was X and that is the maximum tax we will take that at least take some of the pressure of us. I doubt if that will because most of those in Parliament do not struggle for money, they will drive by us all as we walk. Tony Blair, Gordon Brown and New Labour has a lot to answer for but should they worry they have become Millionaires due to being in charge of an inept government
