Fuel protest about prices

And at a stroke you prove all the stereotypes about the people who support this nonsense "protest" correct.

You studied at the University Of Facebook no doubt.

These demonstrators are parasites.

People can see this bullshit for what it is - the latest round of astro-turf far right imported American crap, following on from Covid denial, shrieking about adrenochrome and Ivermectin, burning buses and emergency accomodation and spitting at refugee mothers and their children.

Your hero Trump lost in Iran.

Go home.

Ah, it must have killed you to wait at least 1 post before exposing your true colours, not that I'm surprised tbf.

That's a great degree, it's also why you sit at home all day unemployed on the Internet calling people "libtards" and talking about "fakeugees". Bet you're currently lining up a post for a Facebook page too of an AI fist covered in the tricolour. Cosplay patriot clown

Which department's budget do you suggest they cut? Health? Education? Or do you think just cut social welfare payments? What about people who depend on those like people with disabilities who can't work or families who are struggling so get the support payment there? I mean you cut any of those & there will be answering protests about cutting off the most vulnerable in society which, lets face it, are not those in trucks or tractors protesting.

Ah yes the overpriced EV's that are costing them a lot less in fuel at the moment than those in ICE cars!

Love the comparison between a private sector issue with the cost of something & people being literally bombed out of their homes.

What are you expecting the protest to achieve? I mean really and honestly what is it you want? A reduction in the tax on the fuel. And what happens when eventually the oil prices stabilise? Would you be happy for the tax to go back to what it was or do you want it to stay at the low level? And considering the protest is for a reduction in the tax on white and green diesel, what about the costs for the oridinary motorist using them which are still high? Do you want any change to that? Or just a change to benefit a private industry? And with the reduction in the tax base from this reduction in tax take, where should any subsequent cuts come from? Or will you be out protesting if the government cuts any spending too?

Ooooh you're very pompous aren't you.

The "**** the libtards" module at your "university" must have been a hoot.

Clearly you spent most of your time getting "Locked" and to be honest, it sounds like you are right now.

Something to do with the kids while they're off school?

And the next time they want to have a proper protest this will haunt them. Thats why the Haulage and Farming Unions went nowhere near.

This isn't a protest. This isn't productive in anyway. There is very little (if any) public support.

Now they're blocking the fuel depots.

I wish the Guards would just clear them away and ideally lock them up

I absolutely would cut the budget to those departments, but first I'd cut the foreign aid budget to zero, which would more than cover a 50% reduction in government charges on fuel.

Well, I knew where and when they were setting off etc, still nearly managed to get stuck behing it all the same - I hadn't paid it that much attention tbh, a 'doh' moment for me that.

That's just another few minutes tbh, hardly the end of the world either way, same boat as me.

If anyone looking to get G out of town home will need to walk to wood quay.

Seems to be pretty much zero buses going through town at the minute either way.

Throughly deserved. Absolute self-sabotage the last two days.
