Petrol: "Stick it up their behind day"
« on: 12 May 2005, 12:29 »
It Has Been Calculated That If Everyone In Great Britain Did Not Purchase A Drop Of Petrol For One Day And All At The Same Time, The Oil Companies Would Choke On Their Stockpiles.
At The Same Time It Would Hit The Entire Industry With A Net Loss Of Over 4.6 Billion Pounds Which Affects The Bottom Lines Of The Oil Companies.

Therefore May 19th Has Been Formally Declared "stick It Up Their Behind "day And The People Of This Nation Should Not Buy A Single Drop Of Petrol That Day. The Only Way This Can Be Done Is If You Forward This E-mail To As Many People As You Can And As Quickly As You Can To Get The Word Out.

Waiting On This Government To Step In And Control The Prices Is Not Going To Happen. What Happened To The Reduction And Control In Prices That The Arab Nations Promised A Fortnight Ago?

Remember One Thing, Not Only Is The Price Of Petrol Going Up But At The Same Time Airlines Are Forced To Raise Their Prices, Trucking Companies Are Forced To Raise Their Prices Which Effects Prices On Everything That Is Shipped. Things Like Food, Clothing, Building Materials, Medical Supplies Etc.

Who Pays In The End? We Do!

We Can Make A Difference. If They Don't Get The Message After One Day, We Will Do It Again And Again. So Do Your Part And Spread The Word.

Forward This message To Everyone You Know.

Mark Your Calendars And Make May 19th A Day That The Citizens Of Great Britain Say "enough Is Enough"


It will have a big knock on effect and cost us more one way or other, but I'm all for this sort of thing when the tax duty is well over the top on fuel for motorists.

Noticed down South last week, all prices are hiking back up over 90p per litre for 'cheap' unleaded.

trouble is people dont follow this..... either way you have to put petrol in your car! so if everyone missed that day they'd make it up the next with everyone buying it!

another thing is that 80% of it is tax! so for every £40 you spend you get £8 worth of petrol that goes to the oil companys and petrol stations and fuel distributors!

the rest thats £32 goes straight to the government!

that £32 is pure tax!  we have the cheapest pre tax petrol in europe!

the government wont give in.... even in 2001 with the crountry at its nees did the government give in! no!

greedy government! this is what were stuck with!!

I dont think that the goverment will let anything like what happened in 2001 happen again.

They was not expecting it last time, thats why it was so effective.
