Here's one example of an e-petion if you want to try and do something about it,it has a 7 months left to run so might get a few names up if we pass it round via e-mail.

The main problem with the UK is most people just talk about it, unlike the French who block the borders and riot, i would love to know how many people on here actually joined the fuel protests last time they were on ?
just our culture i suppose but i do agree we defo need to get labour out before we are all fooked

not true, its just too risky. also the fact that red has nearly doubled in price.

vosa now search oil delivery companies invoices, and if they see a delivery of say 1000lt red, they will just turn up at ur house and dip all ur cars. i know, happened to my mate.!!!

heating oil also works, and although its got a yellow die, not as easy to sopt if they do a visual dip check, and also it wont throw up querirs on oil delivery invoices!!
