Your stance is that individuals/businesses should simply stop buying/consuming petrol from forecourts across the UK, and my argument is that it's not as easy as that; significantly influencing the global demand for oil isn't achievable via that method.
Well it depends. If you're wanting to hurt the UK economy and influence the chancellor, then you need to stop consuming it in protest. That's the only way any protest could work.
Influencing global demand? Of course not, but if EVERYONE worldwide did their bit, demand would decrease. That includes less use of plastics etc etc etc etc (ie, reducing usage of crude generally).
