It would be OK if we all stuck together but the Government use the media to give protesters bad publicity and divide the people. The other problem is people have become selfish and some wont give up their time for a good cause.
We knock the French but if we stuck together like them we would'nt have half our problems.

I wholeheartedly agree,as someone who lived down under,I wince everytime I fill up in this country.Over there its less than half the cost per litre and with a population of 20 million spread over a a huge continent you would think fuel would be a fortune.The Aussies take the view that transport costs are reflected in the cost of all goods and services (rightly so) so if fuel is expensive then everything else will have to go up.
The problem we have is that the government RELY on fuel duties to keep themselves somewhere near solvent whilst blaming the motorist for causing "global warming" and thats their justification !
We should have protested about fuel duties 20 years ago when we were awash with North Sea Oil and the duty as a percentage was not nearly as great and them buggers had an alternative cash cow.
I live in rural Norfolk but I will save my pennies for fuel and attend if enough people do so also

I’m up for this but it seems like there is a total apathy in talking to people we seem to be a nation of wingers in the uk.

I will find out the commercial drivers feed back and get back to you
