ts out, and let it be a warning to whoever comes in they are here to serve us not the other way round
ts out, and let it be a warning to whoever comes in they are here to serve us not the other way roundWhat a waste of time and effort.
The only kind of protest that might stand half a chance of making this blinkered bunch of dumbasses take notice is a full blown solid general strike.
EVERYBODY out.
When Gordon Clown goes down for Breakfast, and the table is bare, and so it is at lunch, and dinner, the tosser might think about his dictatorial organisation's line on fuel taxation.
However, should they finally decide to reduce fuel duty, which I very much doubt they will, they'll increase taxation elsewhere to hit everyone in the nuts to continue their quango ridden government's 11 year waste of our money.

I totally agree with protesting against fuel price increases. Prices are at such a ridiculous level that many people are really starting to suffer... and it hits people in rural communities who need their vehicles for every day life much more than it hits people in large town and cities with good public transport.
Where I live, in a town in mid-Devon, the train station is in the middle of no-where nearly nine miles away from the town itself with a very poor transport system linking the two. I now commute the 50 miles to the office by train, but still have to use the car just to get to the station. I'm one of the lucky one's - many people in rural communities are totally reliant on using their cars.
I bet if the cabinet had to commute the way that people outside of the capital do, every day, and lived on "normal" earnins without expenses, then the impact of fuel rises may be much more apparent to them.
I agree that something has to change, but I really don't think that very much will make any changes - strike action will hit the rest of us in the pocket long before Mr. Brown feels it.
