The tax money may go towards the NHS yes but think about how much money the NHS would save not having to treat patients who are hell bent on killing themselves by smoking 20 fags a day. Besides these people would still buy cigarettes at £10 a packet.
Oil is a volatile market, and power in it rests with the few. People should live with the prices, its not as if we are the U.S and Australia and need lower petrol prices. Our country is tiny ffs. If tax didnt come from petrol if would come from another source.
Cybermonkey speaks sense, this whole blockade thing is pointless and a pain in the ass.

Many U.S and AU industries need cheaper petrol, otherwise they could not be competitive, for instance a U.S logistics company would be seriously hard hit if prices were that of the U.K's, we can live with it due to the small size of our country. Most haulage and logistics companys in the U.S and Oz would be fucked if they had to pay £1 a litre as it would cost a huge amount to drive from one end of the country to the other.
high prices in the U.K arent really a huge issues from an industrial point of view.

People here are complaining about how much it costs to fill up their cars though.
Although fuel prices for trucks affect us indirectly people don't see that and don't care.
Its easy to see the counter shoot up while putting fuel in your car.
And americans and australians have massive engines that give not much more bhp than our small ones and are much less efficient.
Why should they get cheaper fuel for using more of it, creating the supply is greater than demand situation?

i agree, as for people saying its pointless and its just a pain in the ass to do the blockades, wake up will ya, if we just sit back and say yer they have put the prices up, so what, then it will just keep happenin, at least if we say summat then we r tryin to stand up for ourselves, we dont want the prices of anythin to go up, i just say, stand up for what you belive in, if you think its stupid then fair enuff, your opinion is your opinion,

apparently if every1 in the country didn't buy fuel for just 1 day it could be enough to seriously fcuk up the government funding and oil companies, but obviously this wudn't be possible sounds like a good idea though.....

Thats a bit naive to be honest. Think of the petrol station working on a 2% gross profit margin and still unable to compete with the supermarkets on price. If he sells £60,000 of fuel per month will he make any money?
Then theres the fact that people are driving less so buying less petrol. And also have services less often. People selling second cars because of increased costs, directly affecting used car prices, aftermarket repairs, insurance companies, and indirectly many hundreds of other people.

amazin mate, you have hit nail on head for sure. most trucks out here are huge Mack/Western Star/Peterbuilt US style trucks with 20 litre V10 Diesel things, that are built to run from brisbane to sydney daily, which is a 900km trip, nevermind the 4000 mile cross country runs. australia is built on the back of these delivery trucks to keep the country running, and fuel costs hit the companies MUCH harder here than in the UK

why are people saying put more tax on cigs?? surley it would make sense to put it on alcohol too, neither are a necessity?
or are only non smokers saying put it on cigs? ( i dont smoke but do drink its unfair to put all the cost on smokers?)
