| | Site Team The Consumer Action Group | Re: The New Fuel Protest. I'm not condoning such action, but the only way to beat this is to either, a) steal petrol - this seems to be (according to the BBC) what is already happening more frequently than ever before, or b) block the ports like the French do and refuse to move until something tangible is done (like selling oil in the Euro! Can't ever see that happening!).

| | Platinum Account Customer | Re: The New Fuel Protest. a) Verry interesting lol
Arent the pumps turned off ??
b) i cant see that happening either. Browns poll resulsts are so low this is why he is not calling an election. It is also why other partys are pileing on the pressure. However I do have a handful of euro's ready just incase the guy is insanse enough to try something like that. like we no he all is.
Apparently the electricity and gas prices are supposed to increase nearly 50% this winter some papers are saying.
We need to take action on one of these.
Its a shame CAG cant help us to help ourselves.
I no I will be challengeing my bills in court if they take me.
I should note all of the other protests around the world are being held because of the price of living is to high.
Unless your on a £200,00 a year wage. mmmmmm £200,000
My debt is increasing and so is the level of tablets I am on to cope with the pressure.
I am getting little help from the Job Centre finding work. Even no I am on Incapacity.
We really need to do something but we need numbers and someone to act.
I wish I had the strentght to go down to Dover and the money. If I did I would be there myself. Things are really getting that bad for me.
Maybe a name change might do if Idont get any more support from the lousy government.

When diesel cars were a relative novelty, the government encouraged us all to buy diesel and reduced the duty on diesel fuel.
When everyone got a diesel, up went the duty and is now more than it is on petrol, so it's another government con. Quote:
This fuel escalator forced prices up from one of the lowest in Europe to now one of the most expensive. When it was first added, fuel prices rose by 3 pence a litre and tax contributed to 72.8% of the total cost. By 1997 the escalator had added 11.1p to the cost of unleaded petrol and was at 75%. It didn't get any better when the conservatives left office and Gordon Brown took over, as the escalator increased and 3 pence was added per litre. This took tax up to an incredible 81.5% of the total price of fuel. | Fuel Tax - PetrolPrices.com |
