This is now WAR

Between the government and the general public

I wish that were true but as usual the general public will sit back and let this government do whatever the hell they like just as they have been doing since first appointed.

At least the truckers are doing something.  Maybe more people will get involved.

The truckers suited themselves.  Think how much support they got from the public. They get a payrise and that's them happy.  They should be fighting against the rise of the cost of petrol not how they pay for it.  Same will happen again later on down the line.

The protests against fuel prices is what I was referring to.  The radio said 89% of the public supports them.

OK then what are we going to do?

Simple mate...do as the Filipino"s do.

Mass peaceful rally...the people"s power in the Philippines carries a lot of clout,basicly people from all walks of life will unite and descend upon the capital and demand the president takes notice and more often than not the chaos caused (Capital virtual grinds too a halt) the president has no option but take action too appease the masses....if they don't well throwing them out of power is an option.

Million plus people makes quite an impact......

Pretty much the beginning...

The problem is Londoners don't care about cars, and how much would it cost the rest of us to get there?  About 30 quid for me just in tickets.  

Of course doing it locally is pointless because anything outside the M25 gets less attention than Scotland.

That's it in a nutshell mate....

We cant be arsed too make the effort....most filipinos live on the bread line (far too many under) yet they still were prepared too loose vital wages to demonstrate.

(When i say bread line i mean quite simply if they don't earn that day they don't EAT that day )

OK then what are we going to do?

Not a lot I'm afraid.  Peaceful protesting never works, look at how effective the petitions I and many other thousands sign every day are.  We're edging closer to a nanny state by the time we fight it, it'll be too late, if not already.

To the person who can afford to spend 30, 40, 50 plus thousand on a new car then the extra RFL will be small change in there pocket. As usual it is the hard working family man who is going to get stuffed yet again, GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR it make my blood boil

Well my MP gets found out tomorrow - he said he has had a lot of letters, so if he voted for it I will let him know he will be unemployed quite soon.

Oh but it does....its just we as a nation have never put any effort into it thats all.

For medical research  the average body is worth about £2000, so at 303 for that is £606,000, or 3030 Omega tax rises - how many members do we have?

Brown is too old and only has one eye so that devalues him a bit.

£2000 is that all.....skin is worth a small fortune as the hospital wanted my consent to sell foreskin after circumcision.

Told they fetch large amounts (size dependant of course)when sold to research companies.

I was driving HGV's at the last blockade. The truckers had the country at a standstill, Only fuel for EMS and hospitals. Mr blairs cronies said 1 thing and then when the truckers backed off, they did a complete U turn, so my feelings are that we all have to suffer until the country sticks together. If the blockades strat appearing again the government WILL bring in the ARMY to cross the lines. They WILL order the POLICE to move any obstructing vehciles.

so Joe Public WILL go on suffering.

I suggest people email Angela Eagle, the Treasury Minister (where was Darling?) who said in Parliament today that
 
Applying new road tax rates to vehicles after a certain date would be "difficult to determine, understandably complex" and would "create confusion" particularly in the second-hand car market, she added. "

What absolute drivel! Doesn't the DVLA have a computer? Through this tax the government is effectively reducing the value of older secondhand cars (which are more likely to be owned by the less well-off) thereby reducing the owners' ability to purchase a new "green" car, or even a secondhand as the values of those will increase.

I urge you to email her at eaglea@parliament.uk

..and tell your friends to do likewise

Email sent to the bitch, she was so condescending!

interestingly,tim yeo (tory)urged the govt,not to give in to motorists because saving the planet was much more vital.also,as i understand it the truckers are asking for a rebate for themselves as they are struggling so badly.i can see thier point but it divides road users from the off and the govt. sit back and smile knowing that divide and conquer is the oldest trick in the book.
