THE BEN was right in supporting the fuel demo. It was democratic and peaceful. It is sad how politically ignorant some people are and only look at their own self-interest.
Sacrifices always have to be made to improve the quality of life for all.
Tony Blair and Co spout constantly about democracy but, when it is exercised by the backing of a majority of 80pc of the people, Tony Blair and Ministers call it blackmail and anarchy and ransom.
The ordinary people are taxed to death and the rich pay very little i.e. fat cats and Royalty and big business. Also TU officials get good salaries and fuel payments and toady to get a Knighthood or Lordship and are, like Blair and Co, a disgrace to the workforce who pay their fat salaries and expenses. Bureaucrats not leaders.
Oil companies hold us all to ransom -- three made £30 billion profit last year. Tax them and the City and banks etc.
Transport fares in the UK are the highest in the EU; families with a car £8 pw worse off. MPs give themselves a £26 pw rise and 75p to pensioners. One-third of the UK live in poverty (Rowntree report).
An average family of four pay £20+ more for food. Four times more millionaires in the UK since New Labour and Tony Blair. Hundreds of millions wasted on the Dome and privatisation.
The demo has proved who creates the wealth. Everything stops. The ordinary people have shown their power.
New Labour has betrayed the workers and is another Tory Party. They lie. Tony & Co are the new Maggie Thatchers and con the public.
