So as far as they're concerned all that has to happen is for the greedy left wing government of gordon Brown to reduce tax on lorry fuel and everything will be fine. Trying to explain to a bunch of semi-literate Sun and Daily Mail reading morons that oil is going up in price cos it's running out and that getting rid of the tax will only delay price hikes by about 6 - 12 months is an exercise in futility.
If their prices are going up, the prices they charge will have to go up. If the price of fuel for fishing boats goes up, charge more for fish (or buy a sail boat). but screaming about the sky being blue is stupid. keep to the Fen Causeway
I don't know about Spain but in the UK the lorry drivers are the libertarian right wing who believe that all tax is an affront to their dignity that will be wasted by a bunch of left-wing loonies supporting black, gay, disabled, lesbian, whale theatre collectives.
And this is not an exaggeration. I overheard a couple talking about a headline last week and the end comment was something not unlike 'Of course if you were a black gay muslim you'd have no trouble getting unemployment benefits.'
This is not as rare as we'd like it to be.
But railing against taxation is much easier.
