So may people supporting this thing while queing to get their petrol or buying whatever they can get at supermarkets. Why not get down there and support in person? Looks like a few bullies and some children at the moment yet apparently most of the country is behind this. Can't see them though. Will you still be behind it when someone dies as a direct result?
As for farmers how about picketing the supermarkets instead - as I understand it our relentless quest for 'cheaper' food has meant supermarkets passing on price reductions to producers. I would think a Sheep farmer would rather get paid a fair price for his animals than protest about fuel.
Miners strike and the disgraceful treatment of miners at Orgreave (just a mile from here) has no parallel here. There we had unions, discussion and intelligent debate on one side - and a heartless creature cracking the police whip on the other. This time we have bullies cracking the whip with out any thing intelligent to say getting treated with Kid Gloves.
Nice to see that the pensioners got hardly any support when asking for a fair increase in the Pension yet the ME,ME,ME culture that Thatcher gave us is still here
