National Fuel Protest 22nd June

[hannbabe]

There will be a national fuel protest on Sunday the 22nd June in all major towns and cities. Think its a good chance for us all to put up or shut up! Check out your local press or search the net for details.

Seems most events are kicking off at 11am

I am up for this, I am sick and tired of this government systematically stealing from us. So as hannbabe has written put up or shut up, it's as simple as that. This nation has lost it's backbone, we did have backbone that once made us famous and it's time to get it back. If we do not make a stand desiel will be around £ 1.75 - £ 2.00 per litre by the end of the year.

I am sure there was saying years ago about Great Britian during the world wars we were involved in, it was
" we fear no foe " if that saying was still around today it would read " The British Nation Scarred of it's own Shadow "

hannbabe is there a website or a forum where this can be found. ATB. Reeco

Google it,just about every forum is listed.

This seems about the longest thread

Given farmers are one of the main complainers of fuel costs,you might expect more than 7 posts on the subject in the horse & hound forum.

So lets see then there is a fuel shortage so we are all going to drive in a convoy somewhere .
Lots of convoys will end up in cities like London with congestion charge.
Lets all clag up the urban centres & bring traffic to a stand still,obviously during this period of total urban grid lock there will be no emergency service cover.

A friend, take on board what you are saying, but are we the people just going to keep on taking this pooh from this joke of a goverment. I have had enough of them, we can't all sit behind our PC's and talk about it and tell each other how bad it is and not do anything about it.

In months or years to come the only vehicles on the road may only be emergency vehicles because everyone else will be on push bikes. We have to do something. ATB. Reeco

Don’t forget to protest in a true British fashion and buy some more fuel…..


More would be gained from staying at home…..


A national (unofficial strike ) stay at home day, the shear unity and organization alone of the masses on such an extent will have a profound and lasting impact on our representatives (politicians) on a scale never seen before

Ok, Im not naive enough to think this will happen, but a play on Pauls idea

The whole country for two weeks.

Either car share
Or
Use public transport.

I know for a fact ( not saying to much, as I need a job) the public transport system couldnt cope.

But it would show two things.

1. Fuel tax revenue would plummet, ( what tax increase would compensate? )

2. It would show the woeful inadiquasies of investment our public transport system especially since bus deregulation in 1986.

Unfortunately people need to make personal sacrifices, eg .. being late for work , but in this United Kingdom we are fractionated by the very goverment that serves us.....................
We can be sacked for being late for work, bus , train, plane,

option

Use your car

Can you see a contrary pattern ?

i think nitros got the best idea,maybe if we did all stay at home for a few weekends a yr without buying fuel for the weekend trips etc it might make a difference but as drift said in the week etc we all need to go to work earn money etc,we all can protest but it dont pay us average joes bills,they have us by the nuts full ....stop.............
