Fuel Blockade
http://www.facebook.com/home.php?#!/...450861&index=1 (refinery blockades set for 5th Feb)
Not sure how true this is but maybe the attention it gets might get the media onto it and worry the government a little |
Didn`t the last Government outlaw refinery blockades under some sort of anti-terrorism legislation?
|
Yup I think it would be harder this time round, much as I'd like to pay less than £1.369/litre for V Power!:wall:

53 people so far
The government must be running about panaking as I type ! |

The government must be running about panaking as I type ! So, because of the populous behaving civilised, we're gradually having our civil liberties, and general quality of life, eroded... Because the govt can 'get away' with doing so. How's that 'fair'?! <rant, mumble, groan, etc, etc> The (not so)Great British Public are a govt's dream, in this respect. :mad: |
Maybe you should import some Frenchman to do it for you :D
|
Totally. :D
But this is it. You would have thought the govt would 'respect' and 'reward' their public for not being a baying mob and wanting to overthrow them at any opportunity. But they know we're all a bunch of simpering Ruperts (ultimately) and therefore screw us royally. As they know there'll be no 'whirlwind' to be reaped! AAAAAAAAAAAARHH! |
I'm sitting here at API having K-Sports fitted, ranting away on this thread like a nutcase. :D

If you have 53 people and the local papers involved with a fuel blockade it won't take much for it to go national.
53 arrested under terrorist laws That would make a fine headline for any of the nationals. You get a criminal record - you go to an interview and are asked about your record - you were arrested for an act of terrorism for protesting against the cost of fuel. I would think a boss that holds that against you probably isn't the sort of boss you want to work for anyway. |
Oh no it's up to 59! Hope i am not ment to be working on the 5th!
|
probably why they were so tough with the prison terms for the student rioters
|
And when the day or date comes no one will turn up as always
:freak3: |
dont fret the other many millions will just bend over and take it like they usually do :-)

The introduced the legislation, following the successful blockading of the refinery's, by tanker drivers and protesters. (remember this was the government who advocated peaceful protest ;)) once the refinery's were blocked, and they realised that by peaceful protest, the populous had achieved a victory, they then did the baby milk factory type spiel ;);) (do a google search for baby milk factory's in the gulf war :)) And decided it was then outlawed to block refinery's ( as hospitals could be effected).

I'm 100% behind them but I can't see it making any difference at all.
|
