Its been a long time coming I guess what with the fuel duty being on hold in the last few budgets, up again, derv will be near a quid a litre and over in places

 

Glad I've got a fuel card and don't have to use the Escort much - for now

EDIT: smidsy on Charlie's account

 

BP Ultimate diesel was 108.9 a litre last night

 

tescos 99 was 101.9p a L earlier

cunts the government that is!

 

Quite a few stations around here were already at 99.9p/litre and the old pumps in the local garage can't go any higher so I guess he'll either close or start pricing per half litre as I'm sure he can't afford to absorb 2p/litre for the Government.

 

Makes me vomit.............

More tax, More tax...... When will it end....

 

lpg 42.9 a litre

 

not for long tho

 

pisses me off,glad my car is not on the road everyday.

 

Filled up at Morrisons today, 96.9/litre for Diesel up here

It dropped to less than 90p a few months back..... cock knockers

 

thats and extra 9p per gallon robbin fookers as if we dont pay enough tax

no wounder alot of brits are moving out of the country, this country has gone to the dogs really has

 

the problem is it affects everything else aswell,haulage prices will rise so everything we buy will go up in price,............our country is SHITE......sad to say

 

hi pete

thats why they do it because it has a knock on effect saves them adding tax on everything wankers

 

indeed!

they had a tax freeze for about 7 years or something and that was few years ago

after that 7 years you might aswel go back to petrol

 

how much of the 99p is tax? i was told more than 50% of it is

 

my car eats fuel that y i only use at the week end...fuel will keep going up in till every one starts walking ......save the ice age

 

tossers!!!

 

So how does one go about organising a protest then?

JJ

 

No point moaning........

 

thats the thing everyone moans in this country but no one protests or nothing, should be like the french they would be on the streets rioting

 

you could all go overto iran andtake over the fuel lines and put it in to our water taps...lol

 

....ur right last time they tried the "fuel protests" every fucker was saying how shit it was cos they couldnt get to work on time....

 

Exactly mate

this country is a country full of moaners who sit back and let the covernment walk all over them
If we actually stood up and said NO they would have to listern

Remember the poll tax I know they just changed it to council tax but it shows if we stood up they have to listern

 

most of them post here.

 

I would have done that if you didn't have to loose a huge chunk of bootspace or the spare wheel well....

Totally agree................... RIOT!!!!

 

It's a fookin nightmare the tax in the country, but to anyone that thinks we are hard done by, other countries in the EU ARE WORSE!

 

come on lads, lets keep things in perspective.

what are we talking here, an extra 2 quid or something a week? if that?!

i regularily spend 150+ sheets on 1 night out...

and probably the same again eating out every other ocuple of nights because i LOVE food...an extra 2 quid or whatever aint gonna bankrupt you is it!

fair enough its yet ANOTHER government sting...but we are talking pence lads...FFS

and even if you had riots protesting and they dropped the price, they'd sting you some other way anyway!!! so just fucking get on with it.

 

Look at it from this perspective.

If the Tories were still in power, then fuel would be around the Ł1.20 a litre mark - this is due to their rolling year on year duty increase on fuel - now you would have something to moan about then

 

the food, when you eat out, has to be delivered at some point, the chefs and waiters need to get to work.... it's the lowest common denominator, so EVERYTHING goes up.

 

God knows I'm not a Tory, but it is Labour who has slapped the increases on Road Fund Licence - Ł300 this year and Ł400 next year. I don't think they'll stop till they reach Italian levels of road tax on "gas guzzlers".

It's also Labour who have brought in all the stealth taxes, and who keep re-announcing the same spending commitments like they more often they tell us, the more money they are spending - actually, it WAS Labour who came up with the wheeze of "double-counting:
Announce Ł100m a year the NHS for the next three years.

Year 1: Ł100m - fair enough
Year 2: Ł100m + last years Ł100m = Ł200m. Er, not in Labour-world where it was Ł100m for last year and another Ł100m for this year, so that must be Ł300m
Year 3: Ł100m + Ł100m for each of the last two years. In Labour sums that became Ł100m in year 1, Ł300m in year two, and Ł600m in year three, or Ł1000m in total.

 

fuel duty is going up another 2p in april aswell.

and bear in mind when they put it up say 2p, it actually goes up 2p plus vat (the government keeps that one quiet)

fuel protests will never happen again since labour brought in emergency powers to quash anything like that after the last lot

brown knows he could put it up to Ł50 a litre right now and still get voted back in cos nobody would vote for that Cameron burk in a million years lol

brown wants to price cars off the road, quash binge drinking by bringing pub closing times back in, price smoking off the road, ban everything etc etc. this is what happen when a dweeb school swot type is put in charge of a country, i bet that cunt has never had a night out or shagged a bird or nowt

 

So as per my previous post - how do you go about organising a protest?

Serious question this

JJ

 

no point cos they now have the power to bulldoze any lorries or tractors etc blockading fuel depots.

 

Dont have to do the same as last time. A march through london that brought the city to a halt would make a very powerful statement, and would be technically legal!

JJ

 

surely if a protest happened and the MAN kept moving protesters,normal people would soon catch on that the MAN is bullying us into paying more money.
there would be a nationwide uprise

 

Agreed. The problem is that nobody is doing anything. We have to get something sorted.

JJ

 

i`m up for it

what about each regional area gets there club to do a worthwile road/motorway,if they were done at the same time it would cause mayhem.

dave

 

Have lorry drivers not done a rolling road block or similar about fuel prices some time in the past?

could something like that be done?

its a sad day when the government has us all over a barrel, fuel was getting cheaper a few months ago as well.

scumbag labour! wouldnt vote or trust them ever!

 

To be honest - the best thing is to get all together in one place at one time. If you do a protest in London - people will come just for the sake of it. That was how the Poll tax thing started. Not suggesting that we want a riot - not at all, but they need to see how upset people are.

these days if it doesnt happen in london, then it dont happen at all!

Alternatively, if only we could have organised it for last week at the location of the Labour Party Political broadcast!

The timing should preferably be just after Labour announce an election. Thereby, the Tories can jump on the bandwagon, and offer proper deductions from tax! Hurrah!

JJ

 

i`m up for it,and i`m miles away from london.

it needs to be done soon before we can`t afford to run our cars or buy food etc
