Fuel protest is back
Evilgoat:
--- Quote from: "Thrasher" ---The blockades will affect the country. Business *WILL* suffer.
Can't see who it will help in the long run. We can't hold the government to ransom, it DOES NOT WORK. All they might do is knock a few pence off, and then shove it on something else in March. False economy :(
After seeing Gordon Brown in action, I'm not sure he'd give in :shock:

He cant afford to. As I said in the other thread. Fuel isnt the big issue it was, there are more pressing ones, Immigration, Housing issues, Council taxes.
If he backs down on a littl epoint like fuel there WILL be mass protests for the above too, then it'll get nasty.
IMHO the government is holding things together, but only just, there are so many potential ignition points right now and they arent stupid, theres a lot of firefighting going on and I cant see them declaring open season by backing down. I dont know how far the Ill will towards our government goes but I suspect there is a fair amount right now, so its imperitive they deal with anything like thisk quickly and cleanly or it will all go pear shaped.

I thought we'd sorted that issue. See other thread :wink:

Lets roll over and let the goverment tickle our belly :evil:
Free country,Democracy, I really wonder if we are tied up and gagged in the political sence.
We need an alternitive party, but that will be dozens of years away.

Maybe the focus of the complaints towards fuel pricing, should be more to improving public transport. Then more people could reduce the usage of their vehicles.
But unfortunately the only answer is more economical vehicles. Leaving the less economical as second vehicles for pleasure use.
