Fuel protesters are staging a go-slow on major routes towards Cheshire's Stanlow oil refinery, where they plan to impose a blockade.

The M56, M62 and M6 in Greater Manchester, Cheshire and Staffordshire are affected along with the A55 in north Wales and the A5 in Shropshire.

Is this the start of a few days/weeks of protests nationwide.  ...............................................

I hope so. Oil prices have fallen quickly over the past 10 days so why doesn't our government cut the duty?

Cos Dave and Nick don't have to buy fuel for the ministerial limos, and even if they did, they're both multimillionaires who keep there money in tax free havens in the Caribbean...

So as far as their concerned us poor sods can whistle Dixie...  We should have gone to Eton and Cambridge and been members of the Bulingdon Club, shouldn't we.

OK, rant over, I'll just go and stand over here till I calm down again <sigh>

AAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaggggggggggggggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
