Fuel Protest
Eeyore:
--- Quote from: "wellieboot" ---I have no intention of starting an arguement here (it's not what I came back for), but your opening post could have been put as 'no. I don't agree' and then with reason for the disagreemnt expressed.
I will admit it is an emotive issue, but neighbour, everything tends to a limit. Calling someone an 'idiot' just wasn't nice.

Whilst I'm inclined to agree with the above poster, can I ask both Wellieboots and Guy90 to step back from the discussion for the time being (yes, I'm naming names). =;
Fuel is a potentialy flamable issue (quite literally, too!), but try and keep a hold on the emotions until a way can be found to express them constructively. All views are appreciated, buts as was said in my earlier post, we all know the score regarding respect in posts.
Anyhoo, I've said my peace, back to the topic in hand! :wink:
Cheers

Do you support them...??
Would you put up with having no fuel as the depos are blocked with protesters...??
I for one would, as i think the price of fuel is crazy in this country??

You're an idiot then aren't you? The price will never come down, the speculators in the oil markets and the extreme demand and supply conditions will not allow it. If you don't understand this, don't comment.
What right have you, hauliers and assorted yokels (who don't pay anything like the same as the average motorist does) to decide if I can have fuel or not? Go argue the toss with Gordon Brown, it isn't anything to do with me. I'm entitled to go about my lawful business and you've no right to stop me by restricting my acess to fuel. I couldn't care if it's 50p or £5.00.
Hopefully the Police will get up off their backsides this time, apply the law, crack open the batons and crack a few heads!!

Firstly... I object to being called an idiot! :twisted:
Secondly... 78% at this moment agree with me... :lol:
Thirdly... The first time there was a successful protest the intended price hike was put on hold for a few years so it worked.
Now I'll hold the rest of my comments mate as it would not be polite on this forum to say what I am thinking... At least i can do that!

I'd support it, no worries!
Thing is, not so long ago we had high fuel prices, and the crude oil was $70 a barrel, but the exchange rate at the time made it more like £50 in our money.
Now we are told that the crude oil is reaching $100 a barrel, but in todays exchange rate that is LESS than £50 a barrel.
SO WHY ARE WE PAYING MORE FOR FUEL, by that arguement we should be paying the same as a few years back which was 90p a litre

So in the same post you have called him an idiot, and also asked him to get up off his backside and stuff???
Oh well, you just cant please some!
I voted for it, i also rely on my car to be able to leave the house but i would stay at home for a week or so in order for it to be affordable for me to do so!
