whether it is a protest in stanlow..or a protest in downing street..it doesnt matter...what does matter is that the public is making a stand...the mouse is beginning to find its voice... Why not protest in Birkenhead Park? Or perhaps in the Aldi in Rock Ferry? Whilst I may grumble at fuel prices, they wont alter (Remember this big deficit we have?) but the real 'bee in my bonnet' is why the hell Stanlow is always targeted - Its merely a cog that makes a product that the government taxes heavily. Would you 'protest' at L&B or Marlborough factorys? We also know the government taxes them alot yet when people do complain about the price of 'smokes' they dont entertain the factorys, they go straight to the decision makers a'la Downing Street.

ty al
also on the subject of public services....i dont agree with police time being wasted on the football field...the clubs should pay for the security in their own grounds ...lets face it they get enough from season tickets, sales , merchandising etc...

Football clubs do have to pay for the policing and its not cheap, that's why quite a lot of teams have increased the number of stewards and reduced the amount of police required.

digg whether they are paid or not...they should be out catching criminals, not looking at the crowd whilst a load of idiots kick a ball about....this is from a womans perspective on how public services should be used btw lol x

What a load of tosh!
Of that '£2 odd' the Oil Companies get, how much do you think does to Stanlow? A fraction, because Stanlow dont have their own rigs etc
Your really barking up the wrong tree. If you believe that video, of the £10 paid for fuel, £2 odd is going to retrieve the oil (costly) and refine it.
I can hand on heart tell you Stanlow made roughly 250k from PETROL last year, the real money maker is other oil products they refine from the crude oil - There is NO money in petrol from a refinery point of view - This is taken from a family member that is 'high up in the hierachy' at Stanlow.
*** Just to add, go bother Cameron if your that upset, your video says 2/3 of the money went to him.

My opinion,/rant Labour were voted in 3 times one of the first things they did apart from making 16 the legal age for homosexuals,they stopped building motorways and upped fuel tax with the Greens cheering them on,they even tried to bring in road pricing and a million people told them to get stuffed, when they tried it in Manchester with a referendum plus £3 billion of bribery it was thrown out,who ever voted Labour in gave them permission to up the prices by voting them in,it's your fault for not reading there policies,if you voted Labour and your going on this protest why?,yes and no gets a bit confusing,we are now bankrupt because of Labour and the chances for any morsal of taxes going down in the next 3 years is near zero,that's if the coalition lasts,the 5th year will bring some hope of bribery,Stanlow is not the place for protest,it's the mp's you want to talk to,you pay their wages and you want help and if they don't, raise hell on the blogs,Twitter,tv and the newspapers be seen and be heard,refinery protests are old hat. but good luck anyway /rant over

YOUR entitled to your opinion danny,,, keep fillin ya car up m8 it aint a problem with me .... Some of us have no choice but to fill our cars up. I use my car for getting to work every day as there is no direct bus service and also for family holidays. I can't afford foreign holidays or even a passport and using my car for our hols is surely better than the amount of fuel an aeroplane uses!

why are you trying to make everyone panic buy? That's just going to make fuel prices/availability worse.
You are crazy stop wasting your time.
