Further fuel protests threatened
Organisers of the 2000 fuel protest, which caused severe disruption when refineries were blocked, say they will act again if fuel tax is not cut.

Fuel Lobby made the announcement as the price of unleaded petrol rose to more than £1 a litre in parts of the UK as a result of Hurricane Katrina.

The group says all UK refineries will be blocked from 0600 BST on 14 September unless price cuts are made.

The Treasury said cutting tax would not solve the problem of high oil prices.

1. Well, that's helpful.
When will these right-wing assholes wake up and smell the coffee?

I hope that this time Blair doesn't let them get away with it. They want to be martyrs? OK, let them have their martyrdom behind bars. That'll bloody shut them up.
