" Agro-fuels protesters disabled the fuel pumps of two BP filling
stations early Tuesday morning in opposition to mandatory blending of
biofuels into petrol and diesel. Protesters argue that biofuels will
worsen climate change, and cause food shortages.
Protesters have taken this action in Edinburgh as part of a national
day of action against biofuels - April Biofools day - coinciding with
the Renewable Transport Fuel Obligation's (RTFO) coming into force,
making it a legal requirement to mix 2.5%% biofuels into all petrol and

Many people will be in disagreement with the actions of these "protestors"
(although they might also disagree with the compulsory use of bio-fuels).
Will it be OK if they come and rip your front door down?
