petrol prices, try the French method

With the escalating petrol and diesel prices the French truckers blocked motorways across the country for a day, fuel prices dropped 22p per litre overnight. Direct action works.

I love France as a visitor but I would not like the UK to mimic French Government or its Unions.
But the suggestion of direct action gives validity to the antics of groups like Extinction Rebellion whose blockage campaign has caused so much grief and distress to members of the public.
I am sure that you wouldnt want that.

I remember when the French farmers burned English lambs alive, I think that was 1990. Who would trust the French farmers.

Good memory Sheila.
Perhaps another example of French Direct action not to be copied!
