Another 23p on a gallon?!?!

Another 23p on a gallon?!?!
Now, there have been many campaigns, fuel protests, blockades but THIS campaign is different and gathering momentum. It is our best chance to take a stand and show government we will not tolerate FURTHER increases!
The campaign is being led by Peter Carroll, the man behind the successful Ghurka Campaign. Read more here >>> http://www.fairfueluk.com/background.html
Quentin Wilson, the famous motoring journalist is also part of the campaign. See his blog here >>> http://www.fairfueluk.com/quentins_blog.php
So, far estimated signatures have reached about 100,000 but the more we have, the more successful the campaign will be and we are ALL affected by the stupidly high fuel prices at the moment.
What can you do? Well, the FairFuelUK website has lots of information and makes it really easy to do something and you decide how far you want to go.

There is a problem, but what can be done really? What the gov need to start doing is lowering spending, because then they can reduce - or even keep constant - taxes. I guess the reality is that they need this money, or we will all be up sh*t creek. Action is good, but just getting them to lower the price of fuel isn't getting to the cause of the problem. No one will do that of course... too many people enjoying the fruits of the welfare state.

To be fair though, this isnt about reducing the cost of fuel. It's about making sure the government dont hike it up by 23p a gallon as is the plan in April.
If everyone is happy for fuel duty to be increased at will then we dont need to do anything, but come April when it happens, we cant say we didnt have a chance to do something about it.

Signed up fella, But i do think that direct action is needed, not just the haulage companies this time, but everyone go on a go slow, and bring the country to a stand still. I think its the only way. We are just getting shafted every time, we are far to soft, we there you go bankers, there's x amount of billions, oh and take your bonuses, and ram it up us again, and again, and again. What do we expect, we just roll over and take it up the ar$e every time. Rant over with.

The issue being too many are seeing the risk of doing this as, erm too risky As in we could do all this protesting stuff but me may make our leaders cross and get into trouble with the fuzz
At least our powleece would only use rubber bullets to start with

Sad but true. Everyone thinks someone else will deal with the problem.
The sooner we all realise we each have a responsibilty to make sure these clowns in office are doing what WE want, the better.
The only problem is, once it gets that bad, will it be too late?

I reckon the best protest would be a one day strike, you've seen how much disruption that causes if say, the fireman go on strike, or the post office.
Imagine if everyone in the country decided not to turn up for work for one day. Oh my, im getting hard just thinking about it lol

Unfortunately, not turning up for work on one day won't work for those of us who are self employed!
With regards to the price of fuel, the wholesale price has fallen across Europe yet the the retailers in Britain have decided not to pass that fall on to us.
