Chavez to supply cheap fuel to London

Where practical sure. However, it seems terribly unfair for those whom public transportation does not work for. Why should they have to pay for their own transportation and someone elses while those taking public transportation aren't even paying the full burden for their own transportation?

It's also quite unfair that my tax money is getting spent on rockets, F16's and guns.

And even though I don't have kids or use public transport, I'd rather my tax money went towards schools and busses...

I don't know whether Shav is unemployed, but either way, he'd still pay tax - just not income tax.

Sales tax and the like?

The link doesn't work for me.

So at the end of all of this the UK gets some cheap oil. Sounds like a decent business transaction to me. I say good on'em.

Incidentally, it is the SSP's policy to make all public transport in Scotland free.
