Windfall tax, windfall tax, windfall tax, this is all Labour seem to cite to the great unwashed, beneficiently ignoring the " take" that the government already levy upon oil companies in particular! BP. and Shell react to market conditions and set the pump price accordingly, ( having already paid for the commodity in the futures market ), where as the government will continue to take taxes what ever the price. This morning , Ed Milliband cited the same mantra, hoping that the emotions of the great British public would be on the side of Labour, yet the shareholders , who have seen the dividend cut, and the share price go south and who provide the where with all for the companies to exist, are totally ignored. Where is Oliver Cromwell when you need him ???
