Default Warning To All Uk People

Saturday this saturday coming the road haulage and transportation people are planning a mssive choke up off main roads using lorries and cars and also the blockading of petrol fore courts and refineries.

The idea is to create rolling road blocks on some of the major roads in the UK they will be travelling very slow in lorries in order to choke up and cause chaos, alot of my workers will be joining them in protest.

with prices of diesel now over £1 a litre its begining to become ludacris.

Right now I haven't seen diesel for anything less than £1.06 per litre.

International and domestic transportation costs are just going up and up which means the cost of goods to the consumer will go up which means upward pressure on inflation.

Oil prices are indeed a major kicker on inflation, because they are involved at some point in almost every economic transaction.

That said, it is running out, demand is climbing ever higher. As a general trend, prices will only be going up. The recent drops we have seen are just the drop-off of instability premium.

This will pay right in to the governments hands as they will use the anti terrorist laws against them.

According to the law provided a viechle is moving even in protest even at slow speeds they cannot be ticketed or arrested because they are still a moving viechle.

Check the prices this month of December 2007 with December 08, 09,10 and so on.

CLUE

Up and up they go.

Get yourself a horse and cart now before the cost goes up for them in the next 30 years.

1 Barrel of oil pumped out 3 barrels of oil used, do the maths people. Dark times ahead.

That may be so, but sitting outside a oil refinery is a whole new ball game.

But on the other hand most of the priceis tax, at least in the UK the govt. do have the option of lowering the tax thus bringing the price down.

countries where tax is a very small part of the price will see the price of a litre go up regardless.

Not saying Mr Brown will reduce the tax being the idiot he is.

Hang on there old chap, Mr Brown will be a nice guy in 2008. Or should I say, buying your vote for the 2009 General Election.

Trouble is many will fall for it.
