    I thought all fuel related protesters were terrorists?

    Oh! This is a far-right organised protest, that means it’s totally fine, because the far-right are historically so kind and nice and never cause any trouble.

    Not like those evil lefty old ladies protesting on behalf of humans or the environment or anything.

    Reform organised

    Wasn’t Farage all for this war a couple of weeks ago?

    Said it was an embarrassment that we didn’t get involved

    The same war that has caused the prices to rise?

    I fucking despair…

    Fuel protesters plan to burn lots of fuel protesting that they can’t afford to burn fuel. Makes sense…

    How are they allowed to just stir up trouble like this?

    If this were a legitimate grassroots protest the police would be all over it it’ll be interesting to see how they respond to this.

    “We are seeing white van men not going to chase up quotes because they can’t afford to get there. It could cost them 30 quid to go and give a quote when they might not get it.”

    They are all liars. How far are they driving to use £30 worth of fuel up?

      By my math that’d be between 80 & 150km depending on the fuel economy (assuming going there & back again).

      Doesn’t really compare to the cost of employee time for traveling the same distance though.

    I would hope all those tractors have had the red diesel siphoned out and replaced with the taxed version. /s

      Can’t promise dangerous solutions to problems if there aren’t any problems.
