The e-mail suggested boycotting BP, therefore forcing them to lower prices to be competitive, and hopefully the other companies would do the same to remain competitive.
More to the point, I too feel that we pay too much tax. Your income is taxed before you get it. Everything you buy with the money left over is taxed. I wonder what the average percentage of our income ends up with the tax man......

I figured it out one week awhile ago, kept my payslip and receipts for EVERYTHING I purchased and after fuel, bills, shopping etc turned out to be around 60% or so, and I don't even drink or smoke god help you if you do.
And to top it off the tax office sends me a letter at tax time DEMANDING more money.
I honestly believe the only difference between our "democracy" and communism is we choose between two monkeys who will dictate our lives.
And where can I get my "I didn't vote for Kevin'07" bumper sticker?
