Yes...but HOW?

There are contingency plans in operation to deal with refinery blockades. Trust me, I know

Perhaps a worldwide block on commodity traders making billions off the backs of the rest of the population would be a fair start, gambling with peoples lives, I presume they don't see it that way though. I sincerely hope they all get their just deserts. .com bubble, house price bubble, South Sea Bubble. Can't wait.

With fuel prices rising as they are and although diesel is more expensive do you think, and on the assumption fuel is not going down to much, that the resale value of diesel enginge cars, in general, will be able to command a lot higher price than equivalent petrol models.

Or are all cars still going to be clobbered due just to the rising costs.

Do tell. My father was one of the people involved in blocking the Milford Haven Petrol refineries the last time they did it.

He was kind enough to bring our party size BBQ up there so everyone had a great time. The police especially likes his burgers. It's all in the preperation.

I likes the idea of the sssllloooooowwwwww driving convoy. It's not against the law and really makes the difference on the Welsh A roads.

Watch them actually do it...NOT. That extra revenue will just go straight into the big black fiscal hole that Brown bequeathed to the nation.

At least the electorate of Crewe and Nantwich told him what they think of him today.

Well I was Paying $3.69 a Gallon last week in the States.
That works out at £1.92p and per Litre its just over 46p.
So why is our price so Ridiculously High?
This Useless Tin Pot Government.
Prices are for Diesel by the Way, Petrol 39p to 42p Per litre when Converted.
