Bedford Roughyed Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 It's quite scary. With the best, thats a good bit of PR, though I would say the Bedford team, theres, like, you know, 13 blokes who can get together at the weekend to have a game together, which doesnt point to expansion of the game. Point, yeah go on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just as in the UK, the population of the capital is fairly well off, but the masses in the countryside are still peasants who have to do a school run with their children, maybe 30-40 minutes, so if the fuel tax is increased by another 15-20%, who is going to be worse off? The bourgeoisie who do a 10 min school run in Paris, before their 40k Euro job, of the Farmers, having their schools closed down in smaller villages, and having their subsidies cut, again, by a government who is again pandering to the elite in Paris?

You gotta get out of this Karl Marx mindset...his theories are very old and outdated, were problematic to begin with, and have little (if any) credence in the modern world. Those people in the streets that I see on TV are not farmers. Its not always the fault of someone else....the worlds climate is changing and action must be taken....the days of cheap energy are over.

Bleep1673 Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 Current exchange rates say C$1 = $0.76US, petrol is about £1,25/Litre, which = $1.65US, so yes, the days of cheap fuel have been over for a long time in Europe, while in Northern America, you still justify cheap fuel prices to murder the planet.
