If HGV drivers can do it and bikers can do it then why not motorists?
They seem to have a hatred of public protests, it the motorists who
dominate and infest this transport NG are anything to go by. Either
that or they are just too idle to bother and prefer to just whinge and
rant about prices from their comfy car seats instead.

"Bikers stop motorways in fuel protest

Hundreds of bikers brought busy motorways to a near-standstill
yesterday in protest at the ever-rising cost of fuel.

As many as 500 gathered near Manchester early in the morning before
forming the slow-moving convoy, causing massive rush-hour queues.

The protest, which came after lorry drivers held a similar rally in
London last month, was organised by just two motorbike riders, with
word spread by text message and over the internet..."

So, you insult and deride motorists when they don't protest. Does that mean
that if they did, you would be fully in support? Or would you be posting
comments about terrorist motorists preventing people going about their
lawful business, etc etc? Do tell.

Or, as I have already pointed out, they are well aware that, if the
government does not get income from fuel duty, it will take it some other
way. Unlike transport companies, who have a direct interest in fuel prices,
we know we will still end up paying one way or another.

Sounds like a Bank Holiday weekend around Box Hill.

I'm all for them if they are peaceful. Sadly you've stated you are
against peaceful protest as it doesn't get the results you want and
only support violent protest or direct action.

Personally I don't think much of a protest that invovles smashing the
windows of an OAP cleaner.
Or one that targets a nursery.

Sorry to disappoint you on that score. Oh wait, I'm not.

I would reply to correct you but since you didn't bother reading the
last two posts I made with the same correction why bother...
