Fuels gone up what 25%? Hardly a big deal.
Can someone address the "Free Ecar charging" at Tesco please?…They get a free charge which would give them aprox 200 – 300 mile range. I don't get half a tank of free diesel for shopping at Tesco, and I'm not rich enough to buy an Electric car…The rich just keep on getting richer.
Stop the traffic in Central London that mite work..
Still not as bad as the convoy babies over here. The left wear face diapers while the right wear real diapers lol.
Disgusting corruption, disgusting greed. All part of the long term conspiracy against drivers – shameful neglect of roads, stealth taxes like dodgy speeding fines, insurance hikes etc. If the idea is for us all to go down to our local dealer and fork out £50k for an electric car that has a real life range of 175 miles and which uses around 40% of fossil fuel derived electricity, then think again. People ain’t got the money and they ain’t interested. People should start really pushing back on the climate change hypocrites (Johnson travelling back from COP26 in a private jet, for example) en masse, because if we don’t, it will be a stick we’ll be beaten with for ever more. Who is it who pumps 75% of the world’s CO2 into the atmosphere? 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
In Hungary we use Russia oil and fuel is same as 1 year ago, 1 GBP/liter. But the west has decided to pay the cost of freedom so do not whine. Go home. This is the price of the free Donbass. Zelenskij demanding additional 750 billion USD from the west. Who do you think will pay it? you.
Love the fact that the eco mob have cups of tea bought to them by plod, whilst their faces are glued to the tarmac, yet PP wants instant action against those protesting against scandalous and corrupt fuel prices, that affect everyone. The hypocrisy is literally eye watering.
petrol the government charges super tax, 97 percent. governments are obsolite, all of them, so last century.
is Boris Johnson blaming Putin? joe Biden is blaming Putin.
Good the government shod dow something thay are just trying to force patrol cars off the road
10 mph in London next week 😆
Weldone. 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Fantastic but better yet just park your car, remove the keys from the vehicles and staff at the side of the hard shoulder. I think they forget that we have more power because the country only works when the public do. They want things running again then they can start to reduce the cost of tax and bills by more than 5p… They won't even be able to organise recovery for hundreds of vehicles causing an obstruction let alone be able to police it all. Something needs to be done about it all.
There’s no reason why it should be this high now, over tax & duty on fuel that’s all it is. Useless government mp’s & outside investors filling their bank accounts on the misery of uk tax payer & we let them get away with it, they bring a new law out to stop us having this freedom of speech.
As long disstiled water and koh price stay flat this case about crisis just about mayorty of world population not yet installing 100% Hydrogen generator only fuel system in their current ICE cars
why would the police wanna join in with the protests?, its not something that effects them. The petrol for their cars is paid for by the government isnt it?
Needs to be in a place where it affects the ones who make the decisions not joe bloggs
Good work boris
I feel you guys,same here in SA
The Protest Must Go On Carry On With It.
The roads are bad enough without these twits. I am proud to say that notwithstanding my extreme age I have never once voted for a politician, unlike I guess all or most of these protesters? In effect they are protesting at their own stupidity.
It gone up double someone needs to do this for greedy guys stop and pit the price drop
The oil companies are holding us to ransom. Inflation is being driven by fuel prices, and in order for BP and Co. to preserve their profit margins, the rest of us are having to pay a lot more for food etc. We're still cash cows, despite Brexit.
Ironically though, the protesters are using more fuel by driving slow. Eg, BP are just getting richer.
Good job! Something has got to be done about these high prices, and nobody listening, If I was in the que behind, " I wasn't" but you would of had my full support even that it would of made a pain of my day. more of this is needed, when there enough the government will react as then they know that something need to be done, until then don't listen to the cry baby's!
