Were all going to starve and freeze to death in our homes!
Gaining experience would be better than doing the adult equivalent of ABC, 123 again.
Oh here we go, the money made on us buying petrol now, outways what we don't spend at the weekend.
Time to bring the country to a standstill for Xmas me thinks, best period to do it. As you can all have a massive Xmas break. I have holiday starting next week too
No point, I read it. And so did all the supporters of freer immigration who rightly panned it as simplistic and wrong since it didn't take into account everything else immigrants add to the economy.
It's obvious that unskilled workers will always be a burden to society since they don't pay much tax. What they do is enable rich people to get rich and create other jobs. One example: An unskilled immigrant (or unskilled British worker for that matter) allows a lawyer earning £500,000 in the city to work without having to take time off to care for kids. Did the research take that into account? Err nope.
And why have you singled out immigrants? Surely British workers have to earn £28,000 before they break even?
Sorry if your view of immigration doesn't match reality.
I'm not talking about immigration anymore anyway since it's not on topic. We had a big thread on immigration in Speakers Corner recently where the truth came out (largely). Have a search for it.
Fuel needs to be taxed at a flat rate not as a % of the cost, the Goverment are collecting 8 million pounds more per day due to the rises in the cost of fuel.
We need to get a vast amount of our freight off the roads and back onto the rail system, decades of under investment and the lack of any real transport policy negates this. Labour have been in power for long enough to come up with some solutions, unfortunately they are completely incompetent !

Well I hope it doesn't screw me up as I'm needing to drive to Wales on Friday night :/ Still, at least I have a dozen fuel stations around me - 12x the congestion!
A completely agree here... What exactly is the protest aiming to achieve?
Fuel shortages and massive congestion? What a good way to win over the general public

I am sure that people will express their frustration with our government to do something about it. Hopefully people will direct their anger towards the government, as otherwise it will just turn on its head and bite the transaction in the butt.... they will be classified as terrorists!
I see you prefer the "stick" approach.
You'll need it waiting for that bus which is 20 minutes late, or your stood waiting for a train which has been cancelled because a leaf has fallen on the line.
That's fine and dandy if you live in London, anywhere else the public transport is overpriced and pathetic.
