Its become almost sick now, last night driving back from Gloucester to Cardiff I needed some Diesel, stopped at a motorway services (BP forecourt) to get some juice, and I nearly fell over when I saw it was 102.9p/ltr . What the fuck is this country playing at? Something needs to be done urgently, I think someone pointed out the other day the fuel protests were done when they hit 85p/ltr

I've seen all these circular emails going round that suggest boycotting certain garages, forcing the oil companies to drop their prices, but they don't take a massive cut anyway, its the government that needs to act and cut tax (and then cut spending as a result).

Its disgusting, unfortunatly I had to pay it

Let's make our own fuel....all I need is a fractioning tower....crude oil....and my gcse chemistry notes...

Seriously though, wayyyy beyond a joke now

It's going to come to the point where we're going to have to let the handbrakes off and push our cars round to avoid paying for fuel

slowpoke

was gonna say im supprised the protests havent started again yet !

i work in the oilfield industry and was told today that oil could easily go upto $95 a barrell in the near future

It's a fucking disgrace. The politicians are fucking every motorist up the arse and all in the neame of the environment. Is it fuck as like we won't stop using our cars and the bastards know it. This is just away of screwing as much cash out of us as possible. I voted conservative at the elections so at least I tried to get these money grabbers out

It's getting to the stage where it is viable to go to gurnsey take a day of work and fill up and come back home

mrviper

heh gurnsey is nearly in france

just looked at the map

the reason fuel protests have not started is because after the last protest that crippled the country mr blair desided to set a new law stating it is illegal to stop a transporter from leaving its depot or refuelling at the forecourt!!!!!!!


how conveniant!!! bastards!!!!

MadMac

One solution, move out the country. I think I might now

Oranoco

If you come back as a one armed lesbian reugee and claim asylum you get everything for free anyway

Blockading the refinaries wouldn't work, because its illegal now. If people are going to have any sort of demonstartions, the best way to do it would be to stop using your cars for say, a week. Just use public transport instead. If the entire country did this the public trasport system would collapse.

What the government doesn't seem to realise is that it is actually staring to price people out of being able to run a car, yet the public transport system is shit. Its near enough breaking point already, god knows what it'd be like if everyone used it, and the way things are going, that might not be far off.
