The law and truckers on the same side

The Met are as politically motivated as ever

HGV drivers will tomorrow have the Westway closed for five hours so they may have a demo against the rising fuel prices. Anyone counter demonstrating will undoubtedly see the inside of a cell for a few hours on one spurious ground or another.
Hopefully the main stream media will point out that tax rebates for these machismo goons in the death trolleys' is not the solution; investing the tax rebate they are after in railways and more goods facilities in central urban areas will not only cut fuel bills, get the roads free of the death trolleys but also reduce C02 emissions, noise pollution and save as much damage to road surfaces from these monsters.
The main stream media may also point out that vehicle tax does NOT pay for roads, it is the council tax that everyone - regardless of means of transport - pays.

Remember:
big car little dick

question to you cde
are you in favour of the fuel protest, stopping traffic damaging the government, like 2001 where the greens called for government strikebreaking and full support to the army to do it armed police ensured scab fuel got to power stations,

or on a lighter note do you think only the middleclass with its vegan tofu worshipping and elitist right on people have the right to protest and do it of course illegally ...come off it pal where are these" illegal" radical middle class protestors where? let me guess at home on the net reading safely while theyre in clean
safe jobs and houses of course not languishing in prisons under torture,
no .. well maybe a few diehard fanatics and ultras lost out in their chosen career prospects stakes ..shame.

what if the army revolt and soldiers protest would u support or agitate to help them kick against the government..mmm..tricky..no they're killers arent they that would stain my hands with blood arrghh! what to do ...sound radical do nothing...no.
oh yes we can have a hippy camp somewhere that of course will challenge the government and bring it to its feeble knees..and phew save the planet inthe process.

but the working class is reactionary isnt it ?we cant support everthing it does?
footie fans rioting and the like not the same as me theyre pack animals?
so from my ivory tower lets just snipe snipe snipe ..
workers whether you agree or not have a right to protest unless of course you decide to ban that right too..
