The tossers will be out in force on Saturday doing their level best to break their first oil company target. They will be getting stoned and handing out leaflets at loads of Esso petrol stations. It would be good if the days takings were up because lots of people saved filling up until Saturday. Bearing in mind that this is a legit enterprise being targetted by a bunch of crazies it would be nice to do something to help.

Must remember to fill up then and remind them what 15 to the gallon on a good day looks like. Then go for a run and call back to fill up again.

Surely stoning them is a bit over the top?!?

Helpful bunch.

They tell you where they are going to protest. Saves me time finding one, just enter your post code. Wonder if there is one in Blackpool this weekend.

Excellent. I've arranged for some of my Max Power mates to do a couple of burnouts on the forecourt of my local one on Saturday. I'll try and get some piccies.



They even give you aerial photos!!

"It is the power behind Bush's throne Esso gave $1,086,080 million to the Republicans in the 2000 election cycle - more than any other oil company."

From their website ... hmmm ... prats ... that would be about £650 billion, about the same size as the UK's GDP. If they have difficulty with simple facts like these, how much credibility do they have when they start spouting on about challenging science??

Esso undoubtedly are a particularly myopic company and their press department and lobbyists spout a load of crap. But they are little worse than the pillocks at Greenpeace who would rather grandstand and exaggerate their claims rather than rely on the weight of their arguments.

(And there are powerful arguments for tackling C02 emission, but they don’t require us to panic and sh*t bricks, and they don’t preclude those of us who choose to blat around in inefficient sportscars from enjoying our hobby.)

From the stopesso website

"Esso has a history of misleading the public and its investors by using selective, outdated or incorrect scientific studies"

So, just like the green scum then.

Except I never saw an Esso garage that stank like a wet dog and couldn't get a f***ing proper job.

I'm gonna enjoy buying petrol this weekend... and running over their placards and dogs..

I just typed in my postcode, got my nearest esso, clicked on the map link, and up popped the advert - for a Hyundai Santa Fe How ironic, and advert for an SUV on an anti-pollution site

I know where I'll be filling up on Saturday Might just take the super soaker loaded with soapy water
