> We here in the UK have finally decided that our petrol prices are too high and have taken to blockading oil refineries in a bid to get them lowered. I personally support this even though fuel prices don't affect me directly. I have a company car and fuel card, which means I pay a set amount of tax each year for the privilege of having them. The only fuel allowed past the blockades is going directly to Emergency Services facilities and vehicles. Most petrol stations are either empty or will be soon. London is most likely a fuel-less city by now as queues are going around the block.
