Fuel protest about prices

I suspect the rosslare lads will be feeling the cold overnight and call it a day 😂

No just striked.

I think the breaking of the blockade at whitegate refinery has stopped the fuel panic. Who knew before all this how vital a piece of infrastructure this ageing oil refinery was?

In the age of AI and food deliveries at the touch of a smart phone an old 1950s oil refinery is still of crucial national importance.

But sure i suppose we just went back around the moon again for the first time in over 50 years using basically the same technology we did all those years ago. We were slso relieved that we were still able to do it again but this time we had almost a working toilet, i suppose thats progress.

Hit them at first light, if there's anybody left.

Running for the hills when they saw the might of the public order unit down in Cork. F*cking great viewing today.

The O'Connell Street lads will stay a while.

Guarantee they'd bolt if they heard Revenue was going to start dipping.

more protests planned for tomorrow all across the country apparently

We also encourage local musicians and entertainers to come along and help make a day of it, bringing unity, community spirit, and support to people in their own local areas.
This has always been a peaceful protest, and all we want is for our government to listen to the people. This movement is growing stronger every day, and we are not backing down.
Counties are assembling from 11:00 a.m. at safe outskirts meeting points before walking peacefully into each town.
PLEASE SHARE.

Nope. Just ordinary people who are pissed off at a small group of tax-dodging, rape-glorifying, drink-driving rag tags holding up our lives.

Should be fine. This has been a small taste of where we could be in a few weeks if the Iran war talks don't work out.

I doubt there'll be many bothering with this nonsense.

Rats are always the first to desert a sinking ship.

So is it just road haulage and farmers that are getting a so-called package?

Everyone else will be paying max price for fuel then. Nothing to help anyone else.

We talking about protesters here?. You do realise whether you agree with the methods or not. You and I are going to pay more long term not just fuel costs to a government that wastes a lot of money. Its so easy to reduce the tax take on fuel and still have the same tax take. It diesnt take a mathematician or accountant to figure this out.

Its worrying the government unwavering stance on this.

Well screw that so and people going out with cups of tea and sandwiches for them.

So much about doing it for everyone else then.

Yes that appears to be it. Combat14 had a meltdown on here earlier when he realised all his egging on of protestors wasn't going to get anything for him.

And the same group will be raising their prices and the taxpayer paying for it at the markets.

Oh wait you actually thought this mob were fighting for you?
