Fuel Protests in the UK

Below in quotes you will find part of the email I received from the Petrol Prices website [it's easy to sign up for updates at the website] informing me of the position re the UK Fuel Protests...

"Transaction 2007, the group behind the fuel protests taking place around the country tomorrow, have said that the protests are aiming to “fire a warning shot to the government.” David Handley, spokesperson for group, warned, “it's our intention to come back in January and let's put it like this, it won't be quite as peaceful as it's going to be tomorrow.”

He continued: “we have got contingency plans for where the next stage of this will go. I'm obviously not going to discuss that because the next element has got to be a surprise. That's the only way that you'll have the impact with government to make them realise that you mean business.”"

Petrol Prices UK and Fuel Protests

How many of us have thought "isn't it about time there was a fuel protest"?

I received an email today from PetrolPrices.com about that very subject!

Let me fill you in on what they said, and direct you to their blog on the subject... let's help get something moving!

Below is a summary of their email...

"I was informed that a group called Transaction 2007 had plans to release a statement announcing some kind of protest action relating to the price of fuel in the UK. I have just read a statement published on their web site in which they have confirmed that they are going to organise legal protest action, and that it could begin as early as this Wednesday.

Go to the Petrol Prices Blog to find out full details and information.

We will be following the story as it unfolds next week to keep you informed. If you want to express your opinion about the plans you can do so on our blog, by leaving your comments and voting in our polls."
