Forums Forums Wirral Information What's On Wirral STANLOW FUEL PROTEST 25th Feb

Its a waste of time...the french know how to protest...the egyptions know how to protest...our idea of protesting is a few lorries on the inside lane of a motorway????

its not a waste of time.......the only waste of time is sitting on ya backsides watching soaps and moaning about the prices doin nothing ! at least i am trying to start something off

I agree with the principle, but the rationale is beyond me

You're all going to fill your cars/trucks/lorries/wagons/bikes with fuel so that you can drive vewy vewy slowly and burn all that fuel, then have to fill up again just to protest about the prices of said fuel......

Who wins in this scenario

we are talkin 8 miles .... i used up £3.03 last time ....there where 100 police roads blocked off and a lot of coverage off sky bbc etc links will be up for proof ... the day before it was ready di**head osbourne came out and said he was knocking a penny off fuel ,he got a message !

Something needs to be done about it.The last one had more protesters than was anticipated,and with fuel prices still on the rise it won't be long before more motorists join in. Enough is enough.

I aint moaning about it! If you can't afford the fuel, you can't afford to own a car, the same with insurance, VED and maintenance costs, pretty simple really. Nobody is forcing us to own a car! I would like a Ferrari, but alas I can't afford it, I don't stamp my feet about it like a child though.

matt lfc the cost of fuel affects everyone whether they own a car or not....food prices and other items are hiked up due to transportation costs....

al have joined your fb page as i think it is a worthwhile cause...

also this country is held to ransom by the greedy fat cats who have plenty but want more....you work all the hours god sends and work like a bstard to get taxed to death, not just in ya wage packet but vat, charges, council tax, the list goes on and on....
its about time the ppl in this country stopped sitting on their backsides, get the shite out of their eyes and carry out protests....and not lame ones neither....the economy has gone now so what is stopping us....

sorry for the rant its the rebel in me lol

THERE HAVE BEEN 2 PROTESTS ORGANISED AT THE BIGGEST REFINERY IN ESSEX THIS MONTH , BOTH HAVE BEEN ATTENDED BY 32 PEOPLE ..A POOR SHOW

THE FIRST ONE WE DID HERE WAS MADE UP IN 11 DAYS AND ATTENDED BY 150 CARS AND 275 PEOPLE......THE PROBLEM IS WE EVERYONE OF US IS AFFECTED BY THE FUEL PRICE, WE ARE TAXED 4 TIMES WITH A CAR
TOO MANY PEOPLE HIDE BEHIND THE SCREENS AND DONT DO ANYTHING....HERES EVERYONES CHANCE..( SORRY ABOUT CAPS ITS STUCK )

So what you are arguing, is the government should remove/lower all the taxes, the countries revenue from tax will be lower than it is today etc...

Where do we then, get the money to pay for the public services, and pay the interest (yes, the interest) and for further borrowing on the already huge national debt?

I was a member of Transaction, long before you lot decided to "get off your backsides" and it achieved pretty much nothing - you think a few hundred people around a refinery is going to achieve much, it isnt, Transaction practically bought the country to a halt by blockading every refinery, and forced a duty increase to be postponed - thats as good as it gets, and a disorganised, single protest at a single refinery, won't do much, especially if you are not working in union with other action groups.

I attended the 2008 protests at Stanlow - well I say attended, they were not part of Transaction, and again, pointless, they too were just disorganised, and did not run in sync with any other protests, and achieved zilch! Once I saw the crappy turnout, and the threat from the plod of arrest under anti-terrorism legislation, I left lol.

Im afraid, now more than ever, you will achieve nothing. And if the government bring in a fuel price stabiliser, don't for one minute think it is anything to do with an isolated protest by a few cars and vans down at Stanlow - the tories were talking about it 2 maybe even 3 years ago!!

I love the goverment introducing that law, take away our fredom of protest why dont cha!
