Fuel Protest

Gordon Brown must be ****ing himself laughing at present.

Thousands of cars in long queues to fill up their tank on the most
expensive fuel we've ever had - boosting the Government coffers ready
for a war with Iran.

Mind, sitting in a queue with the engine running for over an hour must
burn a fair bit of fuel too, oh happy daze...

For those of us who (were) going off on holiday 35 minutes ago, the
frustration is born of waiting nearly an hour to get into Tesco (not
the petrol station, just the store) due to increasingly larger queues
of mumtrucks and other assorted sheeplike, parasitic ****ers both
clogging up the road with their queue for fuel, AND then going into
the store to "stock up" on essentials like bread and milk - the
majority of which I dare say will end up in the bin as it'll go off...


AAAAAAAARGHHHH....

Don't know what all the fuss is about...all the petrol stations I've driven
past over the past couple of days have no queues. And I filled up this
morning (car was actually empty, and am going to London later this week) at
94.9p, which is one of the cheapest in the area.

Last night round here every petrol station had huge queues. Yet to
attempt to buy any today.
My car is empty (i decided i'd rather get home yesterday that sit in a
queue for hours and risk running out in a queue), and I have half a
tank in the landy.
Am kind of looking forward to the world grinding to a halt like last
time. I thought it was much nicer with less traffic!

Oddly, the expensive ones here seem to have large queues, and the
cheaper ones seem to have just a couple of cars on the forecourt (and
no closed signs).

I queued for fuel this morning. I was careful not to block the road for any
'shoppers'.
Nearly every filling station in my locale is out of fuel. I only know of one
selling diesel.
I filled my tank and two 20litre 'Jerry' cans too. I use my Landie for
work - I'm self-employed. I now have enough fuel for the week, without which
I cannot earn a living. If this makes me a 'sheeplike parasitic ****er',
then fine! I've been called much worse!

I don't think you would be in that group
I know a lot of people in your position that had to queue behind some
**** that needed to fill their car to the brim and managed to get about
6 quid in I mean FFS
We had a car in for test last night with a leaking fuel tank
when it failed the owner said it only leaks when it's full and
we don't normally fill it past half as we hardly use it but with the fuel
strike on WHAT FECKING FUEL STRIKE?

These are the same useless ****ers, like Martin said, that rush out and buy
15 loaves of bread when they see 1 flake of snow just in case
personally I would take them out and shoot the sheeplike parasitic ****ers

This I'm alright Jack F*ck everyone else attitude is what's making this
country into a **** hole anyway.Why fill up with petrol there is no shortage
and no-one is going to stop delivering it either. I,m self employed too but
if there was no petrol its the same for your customers aswell so you with
your full tank can go to work but your customers can't because youvé bought
it all so they can't earn any money to pay you.

Can you imagine if we went back to the seventies with Power cuts, strikes
etc I don't think the modern Britain would cope.

Have heard we are letting prisoners out to go fill their cars with petrol so
they don't have to walk home from the pub!

My view not a personal attack on anyone.

bunch of tossers, innit.

Mind, the "lets not buy fuel" crowd have got it wrong: what's needed is for
a substantial part of the population to say "sod it", stay home for a week
and decline to go to work, at the same time not buying any fuel from
*anyone*.

but the chances of that happening are about as good as that of
Reichschancellor von Braun cutting the fuel tax...

fecking ridiculous, really, to tax fuel so high - and they wonder why
there's inflation, and people always wanting higher wages... increased fuel
costs affect the price of *everything*, a fact that Brown and his ilk must
be aware of and choose to ignore.

Hows about more tax on genuinely unnecessary things like more than one
colour telly, more than one video recorder...

There _are_ people panic buying, therefore the petrol stations _are_
running out of fuel. No fuel in petrol station = local fuel shortage.

This is caused by an organised fuel protest, it's not the breakdown of
society. I'm sure everyone will be able to pay their bills next week.

I'm looking forward to a few days of gentle anarchy. Although I am a
little worried that the SIII only has quarter of a tank of diesel, how
will I drive the baron wastelands like Mad Mad with only quarter of a tank?

Good idea! A tax on iPods - on the basis that I'm sick and tired
of everyone telling me I "need" one.

But some of us need to deliver at get deiveries, and banks are not noted
being helpful........I'm affraid a whole lot of disruption in persuit
of an impossible goal is not very helpful.

Yeah, that's that I was getting at in a confused kind of way. This _is_
happening, however ridiculous the reasons. It is just a normal
(justified) reaction to an expected problem.
There is nothing to be gained by sitting at home with no fuel, thinking
that your actions are teaching the more stupid people (as they drive
past with a full tank of fuel). The people with fuel are not necessarily
"I'm alright Jack F*ck everyone else" kinds, they just want to avoid the
inevitable problems.

The people who left New Orleans by car could have been criticised for
blocking the roads and buying all the petrol. The people saying "don't
panic, wait for more weather reports, I've seen worse" were not so
clever when the winds came.

I think the argument goes... tax it till they stop using it. Solve global warming
@ a stroke?
What happened to the tax differential in favour of unleaded?

It all passes me by at the moment as my landie is going nowhere right now
without an engine.

It is a joke, because this fuel shortage is caused by the combination of a
natural disaster and the Yanks buying up whatever surplus they can on the
european spot market to make good there shortage of refining capacity.

Dropping the price won't make the stuff anymore available.

For us they hijacked the Safeway delivery truck, stripped it then burnt it!

Spent too long in the hospital across the road from your Chinese after my stroke!

I'll repeat something I said in a more light hearted moment/newsgroup.

I was commenting on the Whiterock walk/march/parade/debacle.

'These were the sect that stood accused of civil rights abuses when the 'troubles'
started. Don't seemed to have changed much.
They claim to be British, about bloody time they started behaving like it!!'
