Fuel

[graafen]

As the fuel prices in this country continue to climb rumours are starting to fly around that another fuel protest is immenent. Speaking with my work colleagues it seems there are mixed feelings about this, with quite a few not wanting this to happen because they are too dependant on their cars.

So I put this to you, if we don't protest what do we do instead? How can we force the goverment to reduce the tax on fuel?

The government cry, correctly, that this is a global problem. I haven't heard any acknowledgement yet of the extra bonus £££££££££'s raked in from current duty and VAT from a 'world crisis'. Greedy bastards can easilly lighten the load, I'm sure.

I was on the fence for a while but overall I'm for the protests, if they happen - I think most of this is media hype. As you say, if we don't take direct action, what do we do? Moan about it quietly over a cup of tea, that's what!

We need a government that promotes future fuels. Me? I won't notice a fuel crisis - veg oil gets me from A to B :)
