Or in fact it would seem the price of anything.
Not so long ago Truckers were up in arms when Diesel went past .99p a litre. Now it's £1.89 a litre. No riots, no protests, nothing?

The following email was recently leaked to the Press, and highlights the disgusting and inexcusable prejudice that still festers in the RAF. What have 'White Males' done to deserve this?

I have just visited my parents house and they have a fairly new kitchen with new sinks.
