The word on the street...

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH

It's not so much that I think the reasons to protest are unreasonable more that the people who get stuffed by it are people tootling around minding their own business, if the people in power need to be anywhere they'll just get in a helicopter. I don't have a helicopter. I am travelling up to Birmingham from Hertfordshire with my 2 year old, really looking forward to go slows and traffic jams and not being able to buy fuel to get home again - hurrah!

I have two.

No. I've got my ADR licence so waiting for the highest bidder wanting a scab to break the strike.

[Sockpuppet]

So you'll be driving to the protest will you?

Blocking the fuel getting out is illegal.


Standing by the side of the road shouting "please don't drive that tanker anywhere" isn't..........

Nothing will change - they will simply say that if they reduce the tax here then they will have to increase it elsewhere. Also, they will point the finger at all those gas guzzling 4x4 which everybody knows have their own personal hole in the ozone layer.

After the last one I thought the govt had made these things illegal.

Is that there is a new fuel protest starting Sat 15th December 10am.

Which is nice. Lets see if we can't get rid of brown and lower some fuel tax at the same time.

So you'll be driving to the protest will you?

Great, panic buying again, massive queues, and people still waiting for a pump on the filler side to become available
