I can't see them being any more successful than the 'insulate Britain' lot. Just getting on the tits of folk trying to get places.

Dunno. Those halfwit who glue themselves to roads are workshy tosspots.
At least the truckers will have some public support.

When they stop it with the murdering, then I might have some sympathy.

And that's one of the few who were actually caught.
The rest of them are out-and-about every day: blocking up our roads; leering at kiddies; chucking their piss out the window in IrnBru empties.

Re: Rolling roadblocks Protest
Are you saying that all lorry drivers are paedos?
You obviously have a dislike of lorry drivers (which is more than a little odd), how do you suggest goods are moved round the country, don't bother saying rail, it isn't practical.

Re: Rolling roadblocks Protest
Why are they protesting? Fuel prices go up which means haulage prices go up, there may be less demand at the higher price but don't we have a shortage of drivers anyway?

Re: Rolling roadblocks Protest
I would have been caught up in the POW bridge jam this morning, but I'm not sure people really get over-excited with delays on Motorways, its an every day occurrence and generally. by the time the traffic clears, you have no idea what caused it

So you're going to have a rail spur to every business in the UK, and the necessary rail infrastructure to run all of that?slowsider wrote: ↑Mon Jul 04, 2022 6:18 pmOf course its practical, just give it the same investment that roads have had.Le_Fromage_Grande wrote: ↑Mon Jul 04, 2022 3:25 pmAre you saying that all lorry drivers are paedos?

A quick Google days UK rail network is 10,000 miles now, versus 23 000 miles in 1914.

Re: Rolling roadblocks Protest
Or a huge depot outside every major town/city where the goods can be distributed by smaller electric vans. Larder diesel motors to take further afield to areas that dont have rail network. If they ever shut down all the railways and made them into cycle laines in Edinburgh we could have had a cracking rail distribution network or even a better tram system to the pish they spunked million on that they are still trying to extend.Le_Fromage_Grande wrote: ↑Mon Jul 04, 2022 9:38 pm So you're going to have a rail spur to every business in the UK, and the necessary rail infrastructure to run all of that?
