What exactly can be done. Boycotting won't work unless on a mass scale and thats never going to happen with the myopic sheep that most of the population can generally be described as. Truck drivers had a go at blockades and rolling stoppages, police used laws passed in an emergency vote to brake up the protests with military personell at the refinary's.

Any gathering of people to protest about fuel will be shunned by people as soon as it starts to happen fuel companies trot out the "If it continues prices will have to rise" bullshit.

Of course if you are part of a 'sensitive sub group' and stub your toe the government will give you thousands.

So TTask, speaking as part of what seems to be a more and more totalitarian country, what can we do?

Portugal is not all bad apparently...........

you could have started a new topic with that one gas up My cousin works in oil industry and lives in Stonehaven and fuel is not as cheap there as it is down south In fact further south you go the cheaper it gets so maybe you,ve already done that (invade a country with little or no defense and take it) anyway rant over and im off to watch braveheart again

[Ttaskmaster]

Who is taxing us?
March on them and physically remove them.

History has shown that this does work, so long as people follow it through and don't back down like they did during teh Dissolution Of The Monasteries.

While you're there, replace them with a government who will implement things like Hydrogen powered engine technology (which is already available in California).

'Agreed value' but only if its stolen by a one legged, brown eyed ginger haired puff while the bike is stored in your bedroom wardrobe on a Thursday morning in June while its snowing.
They must have had a day off in the office the day they sold you THAT policy!

I can't remember how many years ago it was but when the petrol tanker drivers went on strike it nearly brought the country to a standstill. There was panic everywhere at the petrol pumps.
Of all the strikes this country has had I think that has been the worst. I was even using my lawnmower petrol to top up the bike. What really sucks is when the strikers hurt the innocent public, Their problem has nothing to do with us but it is we that suffers!
Going back even longer, I was working the pumps in the seventies when petrol was rationed to £2.00 per customer. There were nearly fights at the pumps by customers demanding more petrol. On a lighter side a lady driver pulled in and after filling her with £2.00 worth of petrol she asked me to check her oil, I pulled her dipstick out, wiped it with my rag and noticed that the oil was low so jokenly said "you need a longer dipstick"
"Do you sell them?" she asked.

No, definitely not! In the past They have stopped our lorries when entering France and set light to them full of live sheep.
The only way is solidarity which we do not have, if every vehicle that uses fuel boycotted one major refinery they would have to reduce prices at the pump and then I presume all others would follow.
The only problem is, which I said in an earlier post, is that without fuel, as a nation we are totally fucked.

I would boycott a refinery if i thought i was not the only one doing it however what is the actual cost of our fuel before tax, more tax and vat and as vat goes back to 17.5% at the new year fuel will go up again and before long we will all be paying 20% vat and fuel will go up again. Maybe the only solution is to be an MP then you can claim it on expenses

Appoint me as Prime Minister and you lot as my government officials - im sure we can have this country back on its feet in no time......starting with turfing out those fuckin asylum seekers living in a £1.5m mansion paid for by housing benefit and who are raking in £400 PER WEEK in benefits, while our soldiers are in desperate need of equipment that they cannot get due to a lack of funds.

The Government of (what used to be) Great Britain are nothing but a bunch of leeching fuckwits.

[little dave]

since buying my bike last year and not driving my suburban much anymore. i kinda quit paying attention to gas prices. I know that i can put $1.00 in the tank and go to and from work without a problem. all was going fine until i had been riding for 9 months or so. every evening i would put a dollars worth of fuel in the tank and go to work and back. after about 9 months, i started noticing that i was not getting as far. i would have to switch over to reserve about a block from home. after a few weeks it was 1/2 mile. as time went on i began to worry that my old bike was losing fuel economy. needing a tuneup, or worse.
then it dawned on me that my mileage wasnt going down... gas prices had been going up.
(duh on me)
