Angry Any go slows, protests or blockages about fuel coming soon?

Is any action being taken soon on the cost of fuel? I mean, its wasnt this high a price when the last lot of protests hit.
Im getting absolutley pee'd off in this country of paying stupidly high road tax, then insurance tax and loopy fuel tax and seeing nothing for it apart from ruined suspension and knocked out wheel balance on these ****ty roads.
How do people go about putting on their own go slow?
Because at this rate of fuel i might bloody well join in. 87p a litre round here cheapest. Whats going on?!

silly prices, reckon Im going to take the rex off the road if it goes above a quid a litre here and we're getting close to that figure... I wont pay over a quid a litre out of protest rather than not being able to afford it. just think we've been bent over and shafted long enough, really suprised we've not had anymore blockades

I reckon there should be some more protests....but the time to do that would have been before the election.

Now we are playing on a back foot, as it is just the start of their term. Not sure how we could start up an effective campaign.

Lots of new laws now that any protests could come up against.
Lock a few leaders up "National security, threat to Economy blah blah".
I bet the plans to deal with this possibility are in place and well rehearsed.
How many people would be willing to face the thought of being locked up?
