Brown 'confused' over oil prices
« on: December 19, 2008, 07:06:54 PM »
Quote from: BBC Web Shite
Gordon Brown has been criticised by the head of Opec for warning about the danger of volatile oil prices and told that he is "confused" about the issue.

In a speech in London, Mr Brown said "wild fluctuations" in prices in recent years had damaged the global economy.

Prices have tumbled from a record high of close to $150 a barrel in July to below $40, the lowest level since 2004.

But Abdalla Salem El-Badri of oil producers body Opec said the PM should focus more on cutting UK petrol taxes.

Hold my sides!

The only sad thing about this story is it takes some Saudi guy to point out the obvious which has evaded the UK media for decades!
