Fuel protest tomorrow

[Hallbopping]

they need to sit down with the protesters and offer some concessions. tone deaf nonsense trying to villify hard working farmers and truckers is just typical of this totally out of touch government.

That is a recipe for further chaos. Maybe I should go block a building site and stop anyone getting in until one of the houses is given to me.

the protesters arent going anywhere. either they deal with their legitimate problems or the chaos will continue.

My local has run out of fuel.

Also Rothmans.











TBH I was more upset about me smokes.

Are they still selling Rothmans ?

Government should contract construction bulldozers and leave all of them all in a pile of twisted metal and no. There is no government hand out for damage done.

We’ll see about that.

The state has significant resources at its disposal to make life very difficult for these people.

I'm the only one who buys them so the owner orders them in specially but there were no deliveries today coz of the protests.

a meaningful temporary cut in excise would be a start. diesel 2.30 at the pump today and only going to get worse.

and oil companies will put it up again... is a price cap illegal under free trade. That would be more effective but probably not allowed.

Where’s that robocop lad from the may day riots. Guys like him needed now. I haven’t seen a guard that intimidates me in years

I remember they used sponsor rally of the lakes many yrs ago and we were in hotel at night and they had girls going around giving out free Rothmans .

Genuine question.

What should the Government do here? Do we not need some sort of stability during this war?

My point is that MM, by being a passive, power-hungry individual, has dragged this on himself by indulging the demands of a small party in imposing higher and higher taxes on fuel. Some poster, hilariously, mentioned that this concern can't compare with health and housing "crises" (something which FFG have been shown as too inept to address). Those two policy shortcomings do not affect everyone but the price of fuel does. What should the Government do? Announce a programme of a steady reduction in green taxes over, say, a three-year horizon, starting with an immediate first step of an initial reduction. Reform planning laws and start to privatise the provision of state health care.
