Dav 
I fully support the people who have peacefully protested, however, cunts who destroy public property, attack the Royals, and assault police, who are only there because of the jobless scum who are there to have a fight i will not support, for education, petrol prices or anything.
Do you support them? Do you pay taxes? Do you understand who has to foot the bill for
a) damage?
b) police overtime?
Also, i hope the ***** who vandalised the statue of Winston Churchill get what they deserve. If they had listened at school, they may even know who he was, and what he did.

Except in the grand scheme of things petrol isn't actually that expensive. For instance Bulmers (or what ever you'd rather) is around 2 quid a litre, compaired too the £1.20 a litre for regular unleaded. Now think 1L of fuel can get you 30-40 miles (say for an average car) where as 1L of Bulmers will last all of 5 or 10 minutes.
Completely, totally, absolutely irrelevant.
I don't need Bulmers to get to work in the morning so how much it costs is largely irrelevant, I can also buy blackthorn if I can't afford it.

What use would chip fat be to me?
Then I'd just get fat as well as having no job.

Nope very relevant actually, you don't need fuel in the same way you don't need booze. Tis how economic tis how geographical mobility works. If works too far away you move closer so you can get there by a cheaper means, just like when towns would pop up near mines so it would cost the workers less to get too work and thus improved efficiency.

So we should all go back in time to make fuel a luxury instead of a necessity, what a load of bollocks.

I don't agree with why they are protesting, but i support peaceful protest.
They have just shown a picture on sky of some greasy cambridge type swinging on a union jack flag at the cenotaph. They deserve to die.

Agreed.
Petrol/Diesel prices have an effect on nearly everything in this country. Prices of commodities etc. Everything would have to rise in price to compensate, jobs would be lost etc etc....

Why? If you can afford fuel where's the problem.

I can afford it yes, it costs significantly more than it should though and I'd rather spend the money on actual luxuries.
If you genuinely believe fuel is like alcohol there's no point going much further with this, might as well converse with doyle.

I'd put money on the engineers and scientists who solve the issue with fuel will have a few degrees each.

Alcohol was merely an example, there are plenty of things more expensive per litre than fuel. I just picked one that was easy too relate too

They do operate a rather large outfit. What with making ever one of those piss coloured juices that taste of nothing yet seem so popular. Need to be smart to do that...

i dont care much for the politics side of it, especially if its to do with lib dems.
i simply dont think the idea is that bad, and that these protest are by a race of people who have no clue about real life, or what they are actually protesting about, where the majority is made up of cunts
