Fed up of the petrol prices? Lets start a protest NOW!
Discussion
Add Facebook member Petrol Price and become a friend, I have set this up to see how many friends I can get to follow this, upto now since yesterday I have 180+ friends. I want to gather as many people as I can then get a petition sent off, also I want to get support of local MPs and start protesting we need to do something once and for all. We cannot stand by and watch the government spoil what should be rightfully ours, they want us to be driving round in Perodua Nippa's or GWizz, and is this how we want our future to be??? Before the VAT rise and the next January duty rise the petrol and diesel charges are close to £1.30 and come January this is going to rise to nearer £1.50 if no action is taken, the government are laughing at us, we are all too happy to plod on and take no action trading in our pride and joy for more "Economical" and boring cars when other countries don't have to. Let us unite and bring the price of petrol down!!!
To be fair, I can agree with the feelings against the garages.
2 petrol stations in my (small) town. Both with similar prices (£1.209/litre). One garage ran out last week, in the height of the bad weather. The second garage - multi-national (US) franchise, shall we say "foreign"-owned - then put their prices up to £1.269 immediately. Then surprise surprise couldn't speak english to explain when challenged on it.
Made me decide where I'm NOT buying petrol, from now on. Not gonna bother trying to get a bandwagon going though.

Happened in Elgin during previous fuel shortages. The small independently owned Shell garage hiked their prices to cash-in on the situation. Now they remain almost empty as folks have long memories.... Very few customers even now!2 petrol stations in my (small) town. Both with similar prices (£1.209/litre).

Mabye if we changed all our profile pictures to pictures of our local stations price board the government will see it and change their ways!
I mean, such is the power of Facebook, we wiped out child cruelty this week simply by everyone changing their profile pictures to cartoon characters!
YOu can stamp your feet and protest all you like but it wont make a difference. Over 1,000,000 peopel protested the invasion of Iraq and the government ignored everyone and did it.
If the government is going to ignore the opinions of over 1 millon people on a topic as substantial as WAR they arent going to give two s
ts about 180 or even 180,000 people on facebook angry they cant afford to run their cars any more.
The government has its own adjenda and making as much money as possible is on that adjenda. If you dont like it move to venuzuela where its 1p a litre. Just dont expect to earn enough to buy a car in the first place.
