You need to move to France mate.
Reason #1 - the french love to protest
Reason #2 - vegetable oil is now available at the pumps for €0.69/litre (that's 46p to you)

Well the last fuel protest took place in the first two weeks of September. I got stranded down Newquay.
And
Start of September and I'm going down Newquay on Sunday for a couple of weeks. Think I'll get an extended break again?
Cheers

Heads up for the middle to the end of next week, just got an email from my diesel agent my discounted price is going to be 95p inc and normally they are are 3 to 5p cheaper than normal pumping stations. So Diesel should be £1.00 per litre every where next week.

LAst fuel protest I got lumbered with an 1.6impreza GL without any petrol.
I have a full tank of fuel now....I'm ready, so bring it on
TBH last time I coped, I got the bike out more instead, walked to the shops, even used the most utterly useless (where I live) public transport...'til I got fed up waiting and paying the equivelent to a litre of pretol to travel 2 miles
It was quite funny to see all these people getting extremely frantic and in some places queuing 50 cars deep for petrol

I really think it would be a good idea and would be behind one 100% except this country is full of dicks who have no f*cking *****. Most people probably think it aint the governments fault anyway but come on they tax the stuff - ******.
At the end of the day most of you and the country voted for the useless f*ckers in in the first place!!!!

Goverments are never going to be popular. Tax is a necessary evil of a civilised democracy providing a good std of living for the population. Deal with it.

Much easier to get voted back in when so many work for you. They get paid lots and have outstanding pensions compared with everyone else. Nothing like having so many in your pocket to guarantee success!

the people are only panicking because the news are asking them not to panic, why dont they just leave it be.
now they want the goverment to step in, they will threaten people and make it illegal to go on strike next, thats the reason there are no fuel protests, you stop the tankers you go to jail. get these ******* out of power NOW.
then again as we have been paying it no other party will drop the prices of things that are killing people's outgoings

its the same with the credit crunch, i dont know of anyone effected yet. all i can see is a load of banks that usually make 50billion pounds profit only making 10 billion pounds, then they see northern rock getting bailed out so they ask for some money. the stupid soft **** goverment give them a shed loads of OUR money and they refuse to pass on any benifit to us the fecking taxpayers.
the media are making this company panic and were all following like little sheep

yawn fooken yawnnnnnnnnnnn
nobody even bothered to protest at the last "big one"
much easier to stay at home and wish somebody else will do something about it, maybe post on the net that you support them, as long as you don't have to get up on your *** and do anything yourself

That just sums up the way us British have gone since WW2, sit back and assume someone else will sort it,
We need to find our backbone again over lot of things not just fuel.

When you think of the various very strong protests which have been made which were totally ingnored by this load of creeps, it is understandable that peop[le are just awaiting the chance to vote them into the wilderness!
