For all you motorists

It sounds like there could be a petrol blockade again because of the £1 per litre price.

Dad has phoned from work to tell mum that the lorry drivers have told him to fill up asap.

 

Better not be

I wouldn't mind but they pay less tax on fuel anyway.

 

arrest the blockaders , who do they think they are ?

right wing haulage companies led by a right wing farmer last time

 

don'y go startin off stupid rumors that will spark frenzy

 

Strange wasn't it

Couldn't arrest them before for blockading and preventing people going about their business, yet in the strike miners could be arrested for just driving into Nottinghamshire!

 

Only passing on what dad said.

It is up to you whether to accept or ignore the information.

 

That was for secondary picketing and industrial action

Which is illegal.

This is peaceful protest. Which is not.

I don't see any of the petrol blockaders throwing concrete blocks into the windscreens of tankers


That ought to do it.

 

Well I'll say thankyou laura

for the information. My car is running a little low on petrol so I think i'll fill up in the morning.

I still don't like your dad though ff

 

If only I lived more than 300 yards from work. Don't think the 'stuck in a traffic jam' excuse will cut it.

 

blockading is lawfull ??????

erm arrested in yorks for secondary picketting in notts ?
like thatcher said we were the enemy within
good luck to you , keep on paying inflated prices for your electricity generated with gas , it gonna get worse when we become a net importer soon and then we will run out in a few years good luck old boy.

 

RE: That was for secondary picketing and industrial action

People were arrested or turned back simply for driving into Nottingham, before they actually did anything to break the law.

I was under the impression that "obstructing the Queen's highway" was a criminal offence. When they prevented any tankers from travelling that was illegal.

 

walk and stop polluting the world

 

Felt really sorry for the hauliers.

During the last organised protest. Being driven out of business.Were these the same people who were hauling coal around the country, and making a fortune, during the miners strike. Oh yes they'll get my support. :'(

 

RE: That was for secondary picketing and industrial action

On secondary picketing I believe a police officer is entitled to take action to prevent a criminal offence being commited, where he has reasonable suspicion that an offence is about to take place.

I believe that to be the case - hence further police intervention in later petrol blockades / motorway drive slows, but I might be wrong.


On a side note I'm please to see you acknowledge that the highway is the queens, I had you down for a republican. Good show.

The police would be within their rights then to issue a parking ticket to the peaceful protesters then and I would have no beef with that.

 

M1tyke has bee in his bonnet about scargill

so he justfies the waste of our natural resource with it

like i said we in the uk are heading for energy crisis dut to a r/wing idiot who ruined an industry.

no gas , electric price will go through the roof
the irony is did the haulage companies complain when gas/electric went up by 20% 2005/6.........nope.

 

You've got me confused.

Surely Scargil was left wing.....

 

RE: That was for secondary picketing and industrial action

Causing obstruction is illegal as is impersonating a Police officer which is what hundreds of soldiers were ordered to do during the strike.</p>

Me too, thanks Laura. nt

 

and a government that give a **** ?

they will get a windfall of 10b through additional tax and duty purely on the back of price increases

 

Not according to the ex army boys

Just more propaganda from the side of the strike eating sour grapes
