Petrol stations would have been on the receiving end of Molotov Cocktails, but no-one can afford to buy the fuel /s
The government says that petrol stations are cashing, despite more than half the cost of fuel being tax. They can lower the price any time they want and still be getting the same tax revenue there were getting before the Iran war.
Protests aren’t going to stop Israel and America in their war. The UK can do very little about this problem.
The government can’t open the strait of Hormuz. Until it opens there is literally lass petrol and diesel to go around, subsidising demand just exacerbates shortages elsewhere. People have the right to protest anyway, but if they attempt to bring the country to a standstill they government should bring the army in pretty quickly before they cripple the road networks.
Are the farmers planning to protest outside the Whitehouse and The Knesset in Israel?
Heh. I had solar panels installed and bought an EV some time ago. This means it will be pay for itself sooner because I didn’t buy in to oil industry propaganda. Who knew free energy was cheap.
nOt EvErYoNe CaN aFfOrD iT. Anyone can buy a cheap small electric car for a couple of thousand pounds that will be good for 99% of journeys and will be cheaper to charge at home than putting fuel in.
Just as a heads up too – Ireland already going full-French on this, with tractors and truckers doing full on blockades of motorways and major roads, which is barely getting any coverage over here despite them being our neighbours.
I’m not sure what people really expect to achieve with this though. It’s not like government policy here or in Ireland is affecting fuel prices. It’s the orange idiot and his war.
Let’s be honest. The government’s cashing. Always have. Understand taxes need to be applied but because this is such a nightmare people are having to choose petrol and diesel over food, water gas and electric just to get to work! The fuel duty needs halving albeit temporarily to help people. We are being ground into the shit and are getting no help with this.
Trump, us and the uk government is something for them to deal with, the fuel duty needs halving now purely because the gov are unable to stop the profiteering. Just fix the population first
Good thing companies insisted everyone return to office needlessly.
Need more defence spending so might as well get used to the idea of higher taxes.
So many geniuses here suggesting reducing fuel duty, so that we can all afford petrol again, so that we can all buy some, conveniently ignoring the fact that THERE IS NOT ENOUGH PETROL IN THE COUNTRY
Your choices are:
1. Subsidise petrol until it runs out, then, I guess, idk, let’s not think too hard about that?
2. Subsidise petrol but introduce rationing (no one seems to be suggesting this, wonder why, oh yeah cause idiots just want things without thinking about how they get them like fucking toddlers)
3. Let economics do its thing to mitigate demand (ie pricing people out)
None of those are a good solution – all of them result in people not having enough fuel. BUT THOSE ARE LITERALLY THE ONLY 3 (short term) OPTIONS
What is protesting going to do exactly???
What is that going to achieve?
We shouldn’t despair, but this war has put us all in the shit and there is nothing that can be done about it except trying to stem and limit the damage.
But as with covid, some people just won’t accept bad news
Maybe the UK can stop supplying weapons to foreign countries and get us out of these silly proxy wars.
How about forcing the petrol stations a max price per litre. Hasn’t the price of a barrel of oil come down since then. How can it still be rising
As silly as the folk in Ireland protesting.
Trump is literally dragging us all down yet he still has supporters here and there.
Nothing anyone outside the White House can do anything about this. Even if the UK government cut fuel duty it would mean cuts in other places as less tax revenue.
Unless you’re staging your protest in the White House and the Knesset, it’s going to do fuck all.
Yes the government can help more with sorting our fuel duty , but that also means massively reducing income to the government at a time we need massive boosts to both the NHS and defence spending
The UK government is carefully monitoring the situation……..
Scrap the fuel duty immediately Labour – 60% tax on every litre is absolute nonsense
I remember when this happened in the Tony Blair government and the protests were cut off after a week because they were unpopular especially when ambulances and NHS staff needed to get to there jobs.
I do understand it’s hitting people hard, but it’s a tricky situation for the government to be in when economic factors are outside their control, a fuel duty cut might happen but fuel prices are still rising and rising.
I also think that people should look into the EV route, they don’t need fuel that fluctuates on a daily basis and with the right deal on your supplier you could pay very little (so much as <£5 a charge).
Telegraph desperately hoping if it writes enough clickbait articles to blame Starmer instead of their man, Trump, it will incite protests.
Same folks who’d be doing these blockades will be the same ones who have spent years demanding the book is thrown at Just Stop Oil folks who block roads. Hope they get treated similarly for just stopping oil!
