What can you do? The greenies jump on you spouting their trendy theories if you complain, if you try to do anything about it you become a terrorist, thanks to the legislation they sneaked through.

Yep, and remember it was Thatcher and her mob that "sneaked it through"

Nope, it was the 2001 Terrorism Act that classed 'interfering with the fuel supply' and 'a threat of action where the use or threat is designed to influence the government' as an act of terrorism.

People protesting/blockading a refinery can now be dealt with under the Act, as can anyone taking a flask of tea to one of the protesters be accused of 'supporting' terrorism.

Welcome to Labours Britain.

Greenpeace are also classed as a terrorist organisation under the act.

NuLab have introduced so many new laws and regulations that almost any dissenter can now be classed as a terrorist or criminal and subsequently deprived of their liberty and/or property. If any current political party embodies the statist principles and doctrines of Orwell?s Ingsoc and 'Big Brother' it is NuLabour. So, once again I urge everyone to say - t? fuck wiv ?em! And then take a political path that restores autonomy to the individual and constrains the State by a statutory bill of rights ? before it?s to late.

"why do we put up with rip off britain?"

Because we're spineless, apathetic, sheep that don't know what day it is. Our main concerns seem to raise little above indentifying Cheryl Chaver from Chavstation and asking crass or banal questions of Marino.

I think you?ve miscalculated there. US gallon = 3.78L, Imperial gallon = 4.54L. But yep, we still pay twice as much !furious!
