Has anyone heard anything about this?

Petrol panic looms as protesters threaten blockade, strike closes major refinery and oil hits new high | the Daily Mail

 

about time something was done , think tescos is going up on average of nearly 1.5p a week

 

its just ridiculous diesel's hitting £1.21!! they say towards the end of the year its going to rise to £1.50,

 

i'll just sit at home on the xbox360 until i can get petrol to get to work lol

 

Not entirely sure, but I caught the tail end of the news last night and I think they were talking about the striked be up north ?

 

I think we should join them who fancy's it?

Club meet anyone!

Immy

 

If it is up north, I'll run out before I get there and then be stranded ?

 

umm

 

I thought the strike wasn't to do with fuel prices, but was by the workers of the oil companies about pay or conditions?

 

Correct, it's to do with pensions and what not, not fuel prices.

 

o well

Anyone up for a scooby portest ?

 

The strike is about pensions, but protesters are also planning a blockade to coincide with the strike for maximum effect.

 

Its the pensioners fault then .lol

 

Its about time though. Things are getting ridiculous.

This government are suicidal. They should lower the duty in line with what the rest of Europe pay on average.

 

Already is one mate (well a protest anyway )- see this thread
FUEL AND TAX PRICE PROTEST

Was interested to read this morning that the government have now made it illegal for HGV's or other vehicles to blockade fuel depots; sneaky little f**kers have amended the terrorism acts to allow them to arrest and charge people who try and do it. So basically, do as we tell you and accept our daylight robbery prices on tax or we'll arrest you. And we live in a democracy do we?
