Have you got the Ball's?????

[TWR]

As you may be aware there are hints of an ALL OUT by road hauliers, & many other private motorist to protest over this continued bloody rip off fuel prices ( Check out Facebook) the prices effect your social / leisure, & most important your pocket, food prices are going up daily, every bloody thing is going up are you going to take this? where does it end? have you got the BALLS to protest? or are you going to sit back & let others do it for you?

[cazzz1975]

what exactly do you want us to do?

[cazzz1975]

..and what will you be doing

[mccfluff]

i don;t have a car

[mike11111]

I've got the balls, but at my age I am clinging on to them for dear life.

[Ankou]

it depends how far i have to drive to do it.

[boxtops]

Where do we sign? If the tanker drivers go on strike it affects all of us, and my OH - who hauls freight (but not fuel), might have no work.

[jake-the-peg]

You had the chance last may.

People voted for a 2.5% VAT hike and tax hikes to pay back the defecit early

Or did you think £850 Billion was coming out of sacking a bunch of civil servant middle managers?

[milly143]

How would you protest? Lots of us need fuel for work and so if the only way of protesting is not to buy fuel then yes, I would have to leave it up to someone else.

[pa___ul3]

erm... any chance of more info on this, i.e. dates? I work in logistics so it may be worth knowing! ha!

[lankeela]

I'd join a one day protest if I could. I know they have been trying to get everyone to not buy their fuel on the same day (e.g. no-one buy any on a Friday) but I don't see what difference this would make.

[lankeela]

Thinking about it I'd like to join one of them where you block a major road for several hours - oh, just remembers its called rush hour on the A14!

[McMouse]

Just filled up and it cost over £70 but I'm not going to protest or support those who do. Fuel is much cheaper in some other countries but they have higher general taxes and fewer welfare benefits. As a country we are living beyond our means and this has to be corrected. If you want to protest why not start with a reduction in the number of MP's, the need for Trident, the war in Afghanistan, the number of compliance officers and staff employed by local authorities, benefit scroungers etc.

[boxtops]

Is there - for example - a petition on the No, 10 Downing Street website? I'd sign that if there was one.

[ummmm]

Leave it to someone else. It doesn't affect me at the moment. I'm sure I might think differently if it did.

[mccfluff]

pa____ul, there is is going to be a vote on whether hauliers have a planned strike, its not by any means certain yet.

i remember the last attempt which failed miserably

[vivandorron]

I'll check later when I have a bath.

I have to use the car or public transport to get around as I am disabled after an incident in Afghan. I for one would love to protest but having worked in the public sector for over twenty years know it wont make the slightest difference, the rich will still get richer and the rest of us will carry on struggling as prices rocket due to lack of movement of products and spoiled food wasting away in depots and warehouses. We did not have a choice in May 09 as no one won the election so we ended up with a miss match of idiots who are now trying to outdo each other with things that we, the general public, have no control over.

Don't fill up at BP, Shell or other large oil company fuel outlets. Always 2-3p per litre more expensive than Supermarkets or smaller outlets. Only make a journey by car if I have to otherwise walk everywhere.
