Its interesting the debate about fuel costs... On the face of it i support the protesters because i have to pay for fuel... but i don't want the problem of not being able to get to work if there is no petrol, or because protesters have made a rolling roadblock on the M25.
The goverment of the day needs XXX to run a country, and will take the money one way or the other. As an honest citizen I get stung for council tax, road tax, income tax, fuel tax etc etc. I see these taxes going into a large pot and getting re-distributed to the lazy, wasted on burocracy and civil servant's expense claims... meanwhile the things that matter to me, education, roads etc are apparently going down the pan. At least the scroungers can't get out of paying fuel tax. It would be a far better use of time to campaign for the goverment not to waste as much money, then taxes could be lower all round! That would be like trying to boil the ocean, it would be hard to achive... so for now I'm just going to vote for the party who seems to be making the most sensible policies accross the board. Just my 2p. ETA: I think that the goverment know the public feeling, due to petitions and pressure groups... but where are they going to get the money from instead?
