Fuel Protest

<< < (6/11) > >>

Evilgoat:
Just FYI

I was on the front lines for the last one, literally, I think every single shot outside fawley had either my Metro van or the LT28's in it. As a person I supported it and as a Business.

There were a lot of misconceptions about the whole thing brough about by the media and the government.

The biggest being that People died and medical emergencies were affected
Utter tosh!. Any tanker that was being sent out to refuel EMS bases and stations closed for just EMS use were allowed through.
In fact we didnt actively stop one tanker.

There is more risk to it now but as a country we are really good at being sheep and this does seem to be the one issue that we were actually listened to. On the flipside with so much dissent about so many things right now it would be highly dangerous for the govt to allow it to work. After all, there are other issues much more pressing now then fuel price was 7 years ago.

Guy90 you are priviledged to your own opinions, as are we. Remeber Boggert is also a member of the plod too, so you might want to think about what you said. Granted its not much of one, but we do live in a democracy (of sorts), remeber that please.

Just a point about local garages being drummed out of business by the likes of Tescos and others.. Our local Esso in North Berwick is currently cheaper than the tescos at the other end of the town less than a mile away.....

Is it the same groups as before that are looking to protest??

Minor point, but one that must be made....................

it is not just ENGLAND. We as a nation are BRITAIN and as such we are all governed by a central government. That means SCOTLAND, ENGLAND, IRELAND and WALES.

I agree with what you are saying, but please remember that SCOTLAND, WALES and IRELAND are not part of ENGLAND we are part of BRITAIN!

it will never happen!
farmers who helped out on the last protest won't do it again as they will lose out on subsidy's.
and it will be the same for the lorry drivers, the last one was ownerdrivers and there's not as many left now. as well they will lose their operaters licences.

the best way is for ALL the haulage companies to put their prices up for transport then the price of food/goods will go up and in turn something will go down, the down side to this is the big boys in transport won't do it (likes of dhl,wincanton,tnt,k&n) as they will just under cut a smaller company's.
