Perhaps this is the start a summer of discontent.

Do hope so fuel prices are going up again and the goverment just don't care even if they take 15% less tax on fuel it will help out big time

i fill my van up every other day and everytime i have filled up in the past few weeks the price has increased every single time.
Something has to be done its getting way beyond a joke now.
i cant really afford to go out laning at the mo its taking the p***
All we seem to be doing lately is working are socks off to pay for bills etc and paying tax into this useless country and what do we get back out of it???
The chance to pay more tax into the country.....

This government has a tried and tested way of handling protestors. They just ignore them. We've seen how little regard they have for public opinion on so many occasions (apart from when it suits them to follow it).
About time they learned (yes, a lesson to be learned, they're always on about those...) that governments are supposed to serve their people, not the other way around!

Shoot them...

yea but mosr car drivers dont putt 500 ltrs of diesel in there cars everyday like a truck driver has to. Then dont forget we are trying to compete in a coiuntry that lets forigen drivers use are roads for no cost and come over here with full fuel tanks so they don't need to fuel in this country. But when we go over into europe we have to buy temp road tax plus other charges.
One way they they could help is to do what it says when you board a ferry you only have enough fuel to get you to a fuel station once you get off the ferry like to see jolly foreigner filling his 1000 ltr fuel tank up at a uk station

Personally I back them 100% they seem to be the only people in this country with any backbone! Yeah we all moan, complain etc.... but who can actually say yes I have stood and protested about something.... Until we as a country learn to be a bit more like our counterparts across the channel and actually do something, protest, blockade, etc etc The government are going to treat us like sheep, which I hasten to add they have been doing for the past ten years or so..... :evil:
