Warning To All Uk People

[Kapitan]

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.

And so what do I read online in the Sydney Morning Herald today:

"High oil prices drove US consumer inflation to the fastest pace in more than two years last month, data showed Friday, raising concerns the Federal Reserve will hold back from further interest rate relief.

US consumer prices surged 0.8 percent in November while the closely watched core inflation index rose 0.3 percent, the Labor Department reported."

We have had it good on inflation for so long. I can only hope that this isn't the end of controlled low inflation. Still it could be a lot worse like Zimbabwe thanks to that scumbag Mugabe.

Happy new year, not.

As I predicted a wash out. People in this country are sheep and they fear the government or bone idol or even a bit of both.

Only handful support fuel protests

I don't quite understand this protest. Brits are mad at ever increasing petrol price. so they are going to clog major road routs by blocking all lanes of travel and drive slowly? How does this hurt oil companies or the government. Protesters decide to drive with an emphasis on large gas guzzling trucks to the oil companies will see increased sales from it. Second it's a Saturday so the majority of government is not in operation. All i can see the protest doing is making a headache for the average citizen and commercial truck drivers. I just don't get it.

In the US people have tried sending out mass emails asking people not to purchase petrol on certain days. However there is very little fallow thru. Even if one could get a large percentage of people it really hut companies because people will make it up the next day.

Now the way to really effect gas prices is to stage a 4 day protest and refuse to buy gas. In the US (I assume the UK is similar) there is only a 3 day supply a gas after that there is none left. That means if the majority of the country does not by gas than after 3 day all storage tanks, station are filled to the max. and Oil companies will be forced to shut down refineries, production rigs and stop shipping. This will cost oil companies 100s of millions of dollars. If it was done in the US it would send shock wave every where even hurting OPEC. If it could be organized and is successful then the very threat of it happening again could lower gas prices in the feature.

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.

Well mr brown has had another brilliant idea, he has decided to put another 2p a litre duty on what is already there so well not saying anymore.

@ Tchocky :rotfl: :rotfl:

Couldn't help yourself.

[STEED]

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.

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.

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