Of course, this is all about the price of fuel, despite the fact that UK is not the most expensive for fuel either in the EU or the World. Norway is the most expensive in the World and UK is only fifth in the EU. The driver protest in Pariament Square is just part of a wider UK protest to be held on Saturday, which is likely to interfere with contractual relationships bigtime, animal rights protesters and police please take note.
