Union leader to address Grangemouth workers

http://www.unitetheunion.org.uk/news-article.php?iNewsId=356

Oil Industry Workers should not scab on their mates in Grangemouth who are fighting for the rights of all.

However, Alex Wells of the Retail Motor Industry Federation said: "Fuel comes into the UK from other areas so it does not mean there will be no fuel in the country. If retailers are not getting fuel from Grangemouth they will source it from elsewhere."

It would be interesting to know where they intend to source this scab oil from.

Yet ANOTHER Zionist media conspiracy to distract us from the struggles of Palestine!

These protests are well funded and organised by Zioncon elements within the UK and US that require North Sea Oil to be shut down to increase their portfolios, and distract us from the TRUTH about the Zionist conspiracy. The fact that so many activists have been sucked in by this charade doesn't surprise me in the least as the same thing as happened with the whole mankind driven / CO2 / Carbon footprint / Peak Oil bullshit that the Oil industry has also convinced the activist community is real.

Some people are just happy to jump on the latest trendy bandwagon and this is it. The government must be laughing their tits off at how easy we are manipulated.

Anything which increases the price of fuel can only be a good thing - and if I enjoyed the generous pension scheme the striking workers enjoy, I would certainly fight to protect it!

Hopefully the price of fuel will reach £2.50 to £3 per litre and obese mummies and daddies driving obese little Tarquin five miles to school in their obese urban four by four may think again about their modes of transport. A fuel crisis keeping private cars off the road for a few months would make cycling to work so much more pleasant.

A fuel shortage is an opportunity

Hopefully the government will be brave enough to use its powers under the Civil Contingencies Act to restrict the use of private motor vehicles to journeys which it deems socially useful, and having introduced such restrictions and demonstrated that people can travel by walking, cycling and public transport - which they will when they have no choice, there will be no reason ever to relax such restrictions - the emergencies of peak oil and climate change will continue for ever.

The ability to regulate the right to travel will also be of great benefit to the police and security services in keeping us safe from crime. Much is made about the so called freedom brought about by the private motor vehicle, but the cost in terms of the environment, health crime and antisocial behaviour is always played down. All it will take is firm government.
