Re:Support the Tuckers - 28/05/08 07:34 Well done to the lorry drivers!!!

All politicians need to understand that the British motorist will not continue to be persecuted any longer. The summer of discontent is underway.
You have been warned Mr Brown. Actions speak louder than words because you ain't been listening! (again).

Re:Support the Tuckers - 28/05/08 08:00 Well done the drivers. Do it tomorrow and the next day and keep doing it until this lousy Government starts to listen. I am taxed almost to death while around me I see all local services just dry up. What the hell are they wasting our money on?

Re:Support the Tuckers - 28/05/08 09:15 We are all victims of stealth taxes right across the board we seem to pay more & more for less & its getting worse , as usual those responsible won't feel the pinch just us the Mr. & Mrs. joe average. These fuel bills will obviously drive up the prices on everything else & most disgusting of all the fact our troops are being killed every day to protect the flow of oil in the first place, Mr bush has got his pipeline not that he has any connection to the oil industry since he became president. Our domestic fuel bills are on the increase because this & the tory government before this lot sold off all the gas & electric companies to foreign investors so our bills sky rocket so they can keep there fuel bills in there own country's down, but can you blame them its not like this hasn't been looming on the horizon for years now . But its ok for us to suffer unlike countries like Germany France & the U.S.A. where the politicians would have been dragged down by now, (you would have seen violent protests & civil disobedience in spades)we brits don't do jack & when we do the government change the laws to make it illegal to strike or protest. In the U.K. we win the wars but loose the peace every time no wonder were seen as mugs around the world were the only civilized european country that's citizens don't kick off at there government, we protested about poll tax so they changed the name & every one just shrugged & said that's ok then & look how much were paying now while the level of services we get for our money just gets worse & worse ! ( OK I THINK I'VE HAD ENOUGH OF A MOAN) Mywitney - Fun place to hang out in Witney

So let me get this right, the Hauliers are private capitalist companies in a Capitalist economy and they are complaining that the price of fuel run by other private capitalist companies is too high by protesting against the Government. Have I got that right?

Are these the same haulier companies that infamously broke the Miners strike by transporting coal to power stations? It's a good job they are concerned for their fellow countrymen.

You continue to live in the dark ages, todays hauliers have nothing to do with the miners strike 25 years ago, the hauliers that transported coal back then, had nothing whatsoever to do with the miners strike, the haulage companies were not on strike,they were not employed by the coalboard, and the coal they transported kept the hospitals and houses in this country supplied with electricity. I suppose you would have been happy to sit without power for 9 months would you, or watch your loved ones die because the life support machines couldn't be run.

Everybody who drives a vehicle today, is being exploited by this government, and the only people doing anything about it are the haulage industry and self employed truckers. So Instead of whingeing on here about the past, why don't you join the fuel protests and try to do something constructive about the present, seeing as you are so big on "support"
