How Do You Start A national Protest Against Fuel Prices?


I don't know about you guys but I am sick to death of having the p!ss taken when I fuel up my car. Its every week now we see the pence per ltr increase at the pumps. Me and the wife both use our cars for work and have a hard enough time bringing up the kids and paying bills as it is. In my view, its the way we are made to pay for asylum seekers and all the other scroungers we seem to be seeing more of on our streets. How the hell can we get together and put a stop to our government raiding our hard earned cash in this way. We pay around 76p tax per ltr. THATS 4KING BOLL OX.

If you think that we aren't being ripped off in the U.K. you are deluded. We are paying far more than the rest of Europe, Explain this. The rest of Europe don't take as many scroungers here as the U.K, their is NO excuse for our fuel prices, and anyone who defends it is a pr!ck

try finding the farmers and lorry drivers who did it the last time an ask them how they did it last time over 90p and now its over a pound why are they not doing anything

buy a bike

Get used to it. Fuel prices will rise even more. Your government should invest the money in improving the public transport but they don't. Do people in your country blame the foreigners for everything?

mail me and I will tell you an idea that will work if many peeps did it ! can not post it here !!!
edit: my advice involves fuel pricing,nothing to do with asylum seekers and other scroungers.On this lets agree to disagree,as not all people who come in england are what you think.we have enough scroungers made in england,nothing to do with immigrants !!!

fuel profits do not go to the poor, benifits and assylum seekers. It actually goes into the pockets of the shareholders of the respective fuel companies and a percentage to the government. their is a set budget for people below the poverty line and working famillies by the government.back to the oil, its all a matter of SCARCE resources, damand and capitalism. im not going into it as it bore you to death! we can protest fuel prices by taking public transport, walking, works car sharing scheme or practices which do not require oil/fuel. Anyhoo as long as we demand oil fat cats/shareholders (and dont think of some lord or duke ANYONE can buy shares in the oil companies even your next door naighbour, you know the one with the better car than you) will take the p!ss by voting for tighter managing directors forcing the price higher up (this is only 1 factor of many which will inflate prices). People like us cant do anything we need the country as a whole behind us(revloution???) and its a nasty dog eat dog(selfish arrogant) country we in so fat chance!

its winter wich i love but hate because heat cost so much gas goes up plus presidential election truly isnt so far away.
good luck man. i can tell you this a protest will do precisely nothing. the only way to possibly do anything is if the nation as a whole chose a specific day and everyone filled up on that day. and limited their driveing makeing it so the gas stations would go 3-5 business days without any buisness. That would make a surpriseing sting. but not big enough. last year gas companies made three times bigger profit then ever in history. however. they claim the lack of potrolium plants is why they cant lower prices. shortage of natrual crude oil ect. i say maybe but still. who cares.
The us has vertually no nationalism and only the nation as a whole could change those prices. Boycotting and protesting would only piss off powerfull people.
plus if you take a global look at it. US prices are way lower then most all other countries. In Poland curently it is 1.02 euros per liter. and 1.26 euros per liter in Germany. their is 3.78 liters in a gallon. The us dollar is 0.68 euros. So in poland it cost $5.61 per gallon and in germany $7.06
and pretty much every country in the rest of the world is paying more per gallon with maybe the acception of great brittain who currently has the highest value to the pound.
So think about it our prices truely arnt that bad. They have been better but their not bad.
And the fact is Fuel prices in all countries will only continue to rise as crude oil becomes more scarce. Truely you dont want to protest about gas. Protest for improvement in public transportation. in means of Public Transportation our beloved US is in third world country standards. it needs to be improved but instead of t better public transport we must fund the war on terror. I agree with supporting the troops not the cause their their wich i doubt is about terrorist. although they do need to die. but that war should end. and we should put money into bettering public transport

Compare it to the USA we are paying the equivalent of $7.80 a US gallon and they are moaning about paying $3!

In this country (UK) it's nothing to do with asylum seekers and "scroungers". It's all to do with a corrupt government.

The flood of immigrants was required to depress wages so this government could hit it's inflation target. If you believe that all the immigrants flooding in was down to governmental incompetence you are in cloud cuckoo land.

It has been carefully portrayed that way because to admit that it is all part of New Labours plans would have cost them too many votes!

As to the scroungers, I hope you never find yourself having to depend on state benefits. You might change your opinion when you have to class toilet paper as a luxury!

I do agree that there is no defence of the fuel prices here. They are outrageous.

Why do you think that the government are blasting on about CO2 emmissions so much when there is absolutely no proof that they have any effect on GW. It's just more spin to justify robbing us blind.

I would be very interested to know how many politicians have actually done any research into it before they spout off about what a threat it is! Are they being taken in by the spin or are they just profesional liars?
