Bikers bring motorway to standstill in fuel protest

[Bob]

Hundreds of bikers brought the M60 and M62 motorways to a standstill as they held a protest against the soaring cost of fuel.

Some 500 bikers staged a “go-slow” demonstration, riding slowly in formation. Their actions were cheered on by car drivers, many of whom applauded in support as they sat in the major tailbacks. One organiser said onlookers were getting out of their cars to wave and take pictures. “They’ve embraced this traffic jam today, that’s what we wanted,” he said.

Michael Clearly, 56, a Salford garage owner, said: “I think it’s brilliant. It’s a pity they’re not blocking off Downing Street and London too.”

A national fuel protest is planned for June 22 when vehicles of all kinds will take to roads across the country for a “peaceful driving protest” organised via the social networking website Facebook.

Huh.
They've repeatedly shown they don't give a crap about what we think.
Yes, they'll make the right noises as we get closer to election time, but in general they're just a bunch of self-serving twunts who think they get into parliament because they deserve it, and forget that they are civil servants representing actual people.

But yeah, we should do the same - just because it would be kewl.
And a waste of petroleum distillates.
