    You're happy at over 80p in VAT and excise duty then?[/quote]

    No, and if a nationwide protest was organised then i'd be involved. But 1 man won't change anything.

    Count me in Hunar. I took part in the last protests. I was press officer for The Scottish Socialist Party for a number of years and this role included organising campaigns/protests to achieve maximum publicity. If some of us are serious about making our voice heard, I am more than happy to assist in planning a strategy. In the meantime, Don't forget, 'Oak trees grow from small acorns.'

    After the last fuel protests didn't the dictatorship decree that any non-approved protest or blocking-of-roads kind of activity counted as a criminal act?

    You could be right Nooj. I think a similar law was in place in Egypt to prevent protestors taking to the streets. Difficult to see how it could be enforced – How do you arrest thousands of bikers, motorists and truck drivers who could claim that they were going about their daily business and got caught up in a convoy.

    I recall an industrial dispute I was involved in. The work force took unofficial action and walked off the job. Subsequently, The Company initiated legal proceedings against the union, but it failed at the first hurdle.

    When laws cease to have usefulness to society, they should be changed, not enforced. (Coretta Scott King)
