Oh yea.....the last ones were a joke, people will always use cars - nothing will happen!

 

I always loved the irony of the protest being organised by farmers and lorry drivers...


1) Farmers get untaxed diesel for their farm equipment.

2) Lorries cost the country more than they raise in revenue (on average they raise £24k, but cost £26k per year each in damage to roads, crashes etc).


Far play? I'm all for it - less subsidies for them and more for me.

As for a drop in duty - fat chance.

The French got one, but they have a government which represents its people, not one which resents them

 

Yup and that's cos they had a revolution which has meant that all French govs. have remembered that.

 

nothing to do with the French going on strike at the drop of a hat and blocking ports and such like?

most politicians are all the same....

 

From their web site:
As planned by Hailer Martin Palmer the Fuel Protest in Cardiff went ahead as planed, Martin Palmer has branded the protest as a "Huge Success" with over 240 lorries from all over Wales attending, the support from the people of Cardiff was tremendous, a huge thank you to all that attended.

Whats a "Hailer"?!

 

That's exactly the point. I like you, I suspect, can remember how the students and workers nearly brought down the French gov. in the 60s. Your political stance, left or right, doesn't matter in this country. The Establishment carries on regardless.

 

also from news whats a PROTET?
