Ghandi's approach was more a passive or apathetic approach instead of action, perhaps the best approach for lorry drivers etc is to take the day off and not deliver? besides Ghandi only made the one film so he couldn't have been much of a successAdamW said:So these fuel protestors want to do a go-slow?
S'alright, they're not allowed in the outside lane on the motorway, I'll just overtake them. If I get held up by HGV drivers then I'll just make sure I cut them up wherever possible and slow to 20mph in the inside lane for the next month. If they take over the outside lane too, let's call it 10mph. I'm driving in my own time, you's the ones that's working, boyo!
If you want to protest, stay off the roads, don't just make it hell for your fuel tax-paying brethren! Did Ghandi go around telling Indians to stop serving the British and start serving him? Did Martin Luther King go around burning crosses and lynching black people? On both accounts, no. So, why should professional motorists want to essentially just pi** off those who are merely scratch players on the tarmac?

was that the one where Sylvestor Stallone took over the role from Ben Kingsley? Should have sent mum (Jackie) in, she would have scared off the british no troubleAdamW said:You've obviously never seen "Ghandi II: No more Mr Passive Resistance" (or was that just something in a Weird Al film?)
Isn't that what the election is for? I think what you mean is that all parties take noticed then maybe it can be a good thing.FWL_Engineer said:Matbe instead of **** about Lorry drivers causing problems, the ENTIRE nation should support them and protest, In NO_ONE went to work, as in a NATIONAL STRIKE, then the Government would have to take notice.
Yes and no but I don't think it's will make any difference. The fuel protest in autumn 2002 really did shaked the government up in just under 7 days because it started to effect the hospital treatments and the government still did nothing, mind you they did reduce the HGV road tax but that wasn't enough. If they reduce petrol tax they still got to make up for the shortfall somewhere else, a no win situation.Perhaps the General public just don't have the balls.

and them flipping farmers are always moaning there aren't enough hours in a day, so how come they got time to go hunting and then riding their range rovers up to london to complain that their grants haven't turned up yet, sorry I've run out of sympathy.but I'm not complaining
