so there will be a fuel protest then....

<< < (2/3) > >>

JumboBeef:
It's going to be pointless.  The law has changed and the tankers will keep rolling.

Range Rover Blues:
The whole issue nees bringing into the public conciousness.  Something has to start it.

The protest alone might not acheive much, but give the media an excuse to show mr Joe public just how much tax goes onto the price of fuel and it becomes a political issue.  Job done.  Gov'ts have been outed for less and right now with the price of borrowing going up, house prices up and a recession on the way Gordon Brown doesn't need to make any more enemies.

There are lots of businesses on the brink of folding too with the rise in the cost of transport.

Thrasher:
The Government has too many extra issues on the go at the moment. They will not relent on this one, if they do .. floodgates will open.

graham:
This government has had its day, time Mr Bean went along with the rest of the muppets.

Lord Shagg-Pyle:
Don't panic, Mr Mainwaring! Fuel Strike, Don't Panic!

Now is the winter of our discontent!
Though what a 'Disco-n-tent' has to do with Winter I haven't got the faintest. More of a Summer thing, I would have thought :?
