I've posted this topic time and time again to try to engage some unilatteral support and actions.
You see, words are cheap especially on a forum and fre WI FI.
It has been muted today on BBC news that soon we will see fuel at £6 a gallon !!!!!!!!!!
While the average factory worker is only getting a 1% wage rise which equates to a real rise per annum of 0.4%, inflation is running at 4%. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to see that we are already in negative equity in the wage packet by 3.6%.
Hampson transport reported earlier in the week that every 1p put on fuel means an extra cost of £5'000 per annum to them, and a cost they have to absorb as much as they can.
Even Mr Average car driver spending £40 a week in fuel is £84-76 per annum worse off since christmas eve. Or 4% worse off.
That's just a few facts about your daily vehicle costs to show just how much we are being ripped off!!!
Yet nobody seems to want to make a stand to raise the profile of the motorist or the road haulier.
You won't get any help from the westminster as they are coining in around 90p a litre in fuel tax and vat. They'll "talk the talk" about capping fuel prices and trying to disguise their tax revenue from road users. But you won't see action because they are too comfortable with the revenue.
As usual it will be down to us the tax paying, car/truck driving public to make a stand. Comment removed
By simply stopping, staying in your vehicle and not being vocal or a physical threat you are simply and peacefully making a point.
