Bought my 10 litre jerry can....

I don't think anything will come of it - I've not seen much in the press about it.

Yes, seems like a damp squib but I'm gonna fill up on Friday to be safe.

Didn't they use the last blockade as an exscuse to push through some new laws against such protests in the future?

They'd probably use the 'anti-terrorism' laws in some form if it goes on too long.

It would be nice if everyone in the country took a stand and agreed to take the same day off each month and continue until the duty on fuel is lowered.

The cost to the economy would be gigantic. Just think, the entire country at a standstill for one day... I somehow think they'd listen for once.

Hmm. Are you old enough to remember the Miners Strike?

They really, really, do not give a toss.

You need someone like Thatcher to survive such a strike - Brown would panic pretty soon, cracks already appearing - would be fun if he gets backstabbed by his own party.

I would get an LPG car but don't want to think if I am going to struggle to find a place to fill it up.

They're dual fuel, so you can still put petrol in one tank, just in case.

Direct action can work, see the poll tax, see the suffragette movement, infact I can't think of any significant political change in history that isn't the result of some sort of direct action. The pretence that is Democracy, is a smokescreen for the benefit of those who bestow it's virtues and reap it's corrupt benefits.
