My thumbs are up for sure something needs to change before this country implodes on itself, and Dazzla what they are doing is being a "VOICE" a voice that needs to be heard for cripes sake if nobody does anything then NOTHING gets done and if nobody speaks there is NOTHING to be heard.....

Answer 4

wonder how much fuel was consumed in this go-slow demo...

There are protests all over the world... but what exactly are they trying to achieve ?

Are they expecting government to suddenly create more oil from nowhere and tell US and China to stop consuming so much ?

What change are they trying to effect by protesting ?

** Hi Queen ... thanks for helping me to understand why the protests re happening. I no longer live in UK so am genuinely trying to establish what the protests are about..... What specifically do the protestors want to happen as a result of their protests ? What policy change are they seeking ?

Answer 5

Full support - time for Gormless Gordon to get something done about the cost of fuel.

Suppose some bunny hugger will come on a bleat about the atmosphere in a minute and we shouldn't support this action.

Answer 6

Definately thumbs up, at least they are trying to do something about it, this government are hammering the public

Answer 7

I admire their sentiments but it seems that the timing was bad as they took this action while their collegues that drive for Shell are striking and thereby putting the cost of fuel up even more.

Answer 8

Thumbs up

Answer 9

I appreciate that we all suffer from excessive fuel prices, but recent history shows that Mr Brown isn't impressed with demonstrations of any kind. He is a single minded individual who erroneously believes that only he knows what is right for the country. The fact that he is not an elected representative of the government seems to have not sunk into his tiny excuse for a brain.

Answer 10

thumbs up the government needs to slash tax on fuel we've been ripped off for years
