Freedom FightersFuel protests 'will bring Britain to a standstill'
This is in the category of "I complained because I had no shoes...then I met a man who had no feet."
Fuel protesters vow to bring Britain to a standstill this week as the cost of petrol sits at a record £5 a gallon.Let's see - £1 = $1.50 more or less. So £7.50/gal = $11.25 per gallon! Yowch! And it isn't just the market forces at play over there either:
The fuel tax duty of 47.1p a litre collected by the Government accounts for about half the cost of petrol sold at today's prices. British drivers pay far more than those in France and the United States, where prices per litre average 85.22p and 37.9p respectively.
(Emphasis added)And we think WE have it rough!

Base-closure panel finds overestimation of savings
The final Base Re-alignment and Closing Commission report has been sent to the President. The final version notably maintains Ellsworth AFB of South Dakota as a going concern. Hopefully, the report is accepted.
The Pentagon overestimated savings from base closings by $30 billion and some of its plans for streamlining the Army, Navy and Air Force might have made the services less efficient, a federal commission that reviewed the process said yesterday.With its five months of work complete, the Base Realignment and Closure Commission voiced its concerns even as it approved roughly 86 percent of what Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld recommended as he sought to save money by getting rid of extra space in the domestic military network. That's on par with previous years, when commissions changed only about 15 percent of what the Pentagon proposed.
