he does indeed.

It really frustrates me when Brown speaks out about high oil prices....as it is he who has the power to do something about it.

Mr El-Badri later told reporters: “If he is really concerned about his citizens, he should reduce taxes at the pump. The UK has the highest rate of tax for consumers when they want to fill the tank.”

He added: “The target is under his control, and he wants someone else to do it for him. That’s not the way to do business.”

Does Brown think we're so stupid? We know the price per barrel was below $40 so you can't blame oil prices. Actually, a lot of the country is so stupid as Brown seems to be gaining popularity.
