Bikers bring motorway to standstill in fuel protest

[Grub]

Of course they ride on Sundays. It's the only day that Accountants, lawyers and Ad Executives can get out.

Hey no dissing the Ad Executives huh ... some of them ride Hondas

[hellkat]

Ah, yeah, but see thats Oop Narf, in the land of northernpeeps.

Londoners wouldn't prolly do that, they're becoming too beaten down by trying to live within the system of suppression that exists in the metropolis. Every time I've suggested complaining about stuff (especially amongst my courier mates, who seem to complain more than the average biker) ... people just go 'Naaaa, you'll not get anywhere, and chances are if you look even slightly militant, you'll end up get arrested, let alone have cctv cameras directed at your flat, your bike, your place of work, and then questioned by MI5 about the sort of company you keep, so no point mate.' and returned to their PS3's for a dose of their own reality.

I went to a biker protest about 7 years ago in London, probably about 400 people turned up ... everybody rode around Trafalgar Square for a couple of hours irritating the traffic and stopping to let tourists take pix, then some munters from MAG got up on a soapbox, so everybody stopped riding and had a cup of coffee, then everybody clapped the speeches, rode round the square a few more times just for the devilment of continuing to disrupt traffic ... and went away again.

Nothing much happened.

Huh.
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.

Half of them don't represent anyone but their party under MMP.

What I would like to know is how can they put the price up by 6 cents two or three times then at a later stage drop it by 2 cents and say its it fair?????
And at the end the look the other way when they make huge profit and nothing gets said

How can the price of fuel in the storage tanks go up immediately when the international price changes? Strange how it can go up sooo quick but when the price drops it takes a long long time to go down.

[Dave Lobster]

It doesn't go down, does it??

[CB ARGH]

Let's hope that because of this protest, a mad scientist will discover a fountain of oil and yipee doodle the "HOLY FUCK! NO OIL" dilemma will disappear.

Waste of time in my eyes.

May be we should do it in trucks...............ooops all ready done that!

[ElCoyote]

That's because we are such a hard working bunch of cunts.

You are 50% right

[Griffin]

Im surprised that its the bikers doing the complaining when they have possibly the cheapest form of transport bar cycling. You would think the cagers would have been the first to be up in arms... or are bikers over there a solid group who stick together and speak as one for the majority?

[awayatc]

maybe we should all go out and protest because our winters are to cold....
We need more sun....specialy on sundays! lets block somhing and protest..
