Im surprised what with the power of the internet that no one has thought of doing another fuel blockade like the one 12yr ago.

A fuel drought! We must unite in bigger numbers this time. At this rate by 2020 fuel will be £2 a ltr.

2020, more like 2013 :)

A fuel drought, blockade will not have any effect on duty, sadly!

Please can this not be a fuel duty debate, i am more shocked at 37p for cigs.

Britain\'s getting healthier, less people are smoking, duty\'s going up to maintain the same level of revenue, at least that\'s my guess.  Although I don\'t think the number of smokers is reducing by the same rate at which the price is going up.

As for 3p a litre on fuel, there\'s only one thing you can say to that and that is :Grrr:censored:
