[matilda] Give me fuel give me fire give me that which I desire...

[Chris Malins]

So, the government wants to get Saudi Arabia etc to pump more oil to 
alleviate British prices? Which, one would imagine, would lead to more 
oil being combusted, and thus enhance carbon emissions and drive climate 
change. So much for the government's commitment to tackle the problem.

How about on Wednesday, if the government refuses to cease in its 
attempts to force OPEC nations to pump more climate change driving oil, 
we go and blockade the oil refineries (forming a perimeter outside the 
perimeter formed by hauliers demanding lower prices) and insist that we 
will not move unless the government agrees to commit itself to a gradual 
reduction in global oil production, and not to reduce fuel tax.

And while we're at it, why not compare the treatment given to a few 
people in lorries blocking the motorway network to the treatment given 
to a couple of dozen of critical mass cyclists causing minor city centre 
congestion? D'you think that the lorry drivers will be pushed off their 
lorries? Arrested? Neither do I.

Love and rage,

Chris
