Fuel protest is back
Boggert:
Well is not as bad as the last thread.... Apprently i'm an idiot...
May be true but at least its not been announced on this one LOL :lol:
v8kenny:
Idiot ? - I bet you get called a lot worse than that on a daily basis at work ! :lol:
Disco Matt:
I would have to say that another "blockade the refineries" type protest is probably not the way to go - the government and media would find it very easy to portray the protestors as selfish and irresponsible. Remember that these are the kings of spin, and the links between goverment and media are tangled to say the least (there's a lot that doesn't get out, well, unless you read the right sources!). Also worth bearing in mind that most media (and chunks of the government) doesn't seem to think there is life outside the M25.
Far better to do something that would bring things to a halt without endangering the general public. A large selection of artic trailers abandoned around London with flat tyres and full of bricks ought to do it!
