Today the streets of Edinburgh were clammed up by farmers and hauliers. So I took the train. It took me 30 minutes longer to get to my gig than I would have by car in normal times, and cost me £13+ rather than £4. Can I check I've got this straight? At a time when farmers need every daylight hour, and every drop of diesel they can find, a group of farmers have shut off the supply of diesel to themselves. Also involved are a group of hauliers, whose cutthroat pricing and mutual undercutting has shaved their profit margins to the bone, so they need every load they can carry. In search of a higher profit margin, the two groups have decided to cause me and millions of others massive discomfort, loss of income and and time, general aggravation and worry, and added various levels of increased risk. The farmers and hauliers expect me to be annoyed not with them, but with the Goverment. I am already annoyed with the Government, over various matters. Now I'm annoyed with the farmers and hauliers too. In what way am I being benefited by all this?
