Cost of fuel

Ok lads and lassies wots ur veiws now on the cost of fuel and how long u gonna sit back and let the government shaft all the hauliers.

Big increase for next week apparently

Gov. couldn’t care less. We can moan all we want and they’ll just keep on with the shafting

why just the hauliers?,us (now)cab drivers use fuel all day every day,cost is now £1.18 pr ltr of derv in the forest.
ok the car does 42 round town,but still gets thru £80-100 per wk.

come the election,who will vote where?

yeah big increase but how long before the self employed guy has to call it a day because he cant fuel up his wagon or taxi or even his van and then that just opens the doors for more foreign trucks on our roads because we didnt stand up for this

This ‘‘could’’ be good timing with the general election not far off. Could be a big vote winner if one of the partys decides to stick their neck out and promise to lower or freeze tax

It worked in 2000 so why cant it work now

It worked in 2000 so why cant it work now

Cos they have changed the laws since then so that if people try and pull the same thing off they’re allowed to basically drag you away from the refinery gates to allow the wagons through.

Yeah but u can still protest at refinieries just have to get as many hauliers cab drivers van drivers to protest too and maybe the tanker drivers will join the protest maybe this country needs another fuel protest to make it sit up and listen this government need to realise we put them in place and we pay there wages so its time they listened

All we need is for tanker drivers to strike and if every drive payed x amount to fund the tanker drivers it might work but it will never happen.

to but is in easy terms, us yes us as English are spineless and have no back bone!! we just take it and roll over no one will stick together so we have to take what is given if all and its ALL hauliers stuck together and not left the yards for a week max this country would be[zb] but we wont stick together as you me or john and Fred have just bought a new TV etc,etc,and the payment is due this week so i have to go to work, again English as a minority have no back bone and we are bottles to do anything so it ain’t gonna change is it you dont need to block gates and hold protests on roads, just park up and watch and see but will eddy or Norbert no boots, or johnny foreigner narrrrrr, will they hell as like
as for the goverment they all ■■■■ in the same pot anyway

It’s already gone up by around 10p a litre in the last month or so, God knows what the next increases will do.

it will prob huck most harry, thats what it prob will do

globby, i salute you, never a truer word said. [zb] the blockades or protests, just park up and as you say job done.

Ever noticed how busy and permanately full supermarket fuel pumps are…trying to get people to boycott one of these big boys nationwide or even just locally would have an effect…surely even the ‘fat cat’ in his glass tower would look at his daily takeings & think ‘■■■■■ maybe i need to do something !!!..Not sure how many members on here but if everyone agreed to boycott one ‘brand’ or one ‘supermarket’ for a day, week or weekend what would that ‘brand’ do ■■?

yeah thats true i forgot were all just a bunch of spineless yes men maybe we should all go to downing street and bend over and let them ■■■■ us up the arse and when there finished ask them to do it again theres people all over this country willing to stand up and protest but theres no one big enough to start one even the road haulage industry have said they wont be organising any protests there more interested in lobbying Mr Darling which it never works do u think hes gonna listen NO maybe one day when we cant afford to pay our bills or pay our taxes cos they have taxed us to the hilts they might listen (not)

very well said globby, your [zb] spot on with what ya said

yep its so simple but we wont as only 20 would park up and the rest would still carry on and moan in the caf about this and that and nothing is getting done and the country is shot to bits , English was once a proud name now its just a bottles nation

The rha :laughing: :laughing: :laughing: what kin good are they only use they are is for talking and organising there yearly dinner dance ooh and taking money with out menace they are a complete waste of time money and effort, they wont back you they aint worth carrot unless you want a posh dinner dance party that’s all they are good for,

we as a haulage industry!!! dont need help from fellow car or van drivers “thanks anyway” we as a industry can and could bring this country to a stand still in less than 3 days, oooh yer there is the army in there bedford rl"s and little daf 45"s mmmmh let em get on with it and do deliverys of milk and food and to car industrys “bit there is” it wouldnt last 3 days,

maybe we should ask the bankers for our money back as its the motorists thats also paying for there ■■■■ ups mind you who needs a new pond this year or a duck house come on i ask u wot the hell we doing maybe we should do wot monty from brewsters millions done start a party none of the above and see who votes for them
