At Stanlow this Sunday.
1000 vehicles, the start of many apparently, slowly more protests heading south over the next 2 weeks.
Some say there'll be shortages by early next week.

I'm not being funny, but a couple of months ago over 500,000 people protested over government cuts and the government said, "sorry but we're doing it anyway", do you really think they're going to notice this?

Not really, all there doing is causing the folk that work in fuel depo logistics a bit of a mare & pissing working class people.
Why not if they feel so strongly then just boycott fuel all together
Its not like were priced out of the rest of europe like before....I think our petrols among the cheapest now??

obviously the hike in petrol and how it seems to increase at an average rate of every day is getting to people. enough to make them take action.
what happens when it increases even higher? chances are people will take even more action. its only a matter of time until those who work in filling stations are assualted, shops trashed etc as an act of anger and frustration.
