Truckers Protest * U.K. - Against High Fuel Prices Outside Oil Refineries

U.K. truck drivers gathered outside oil refineries around the British Isles today to protest rising fuel costs

UK -Bloomberg, by Gavin Finch -Dec. 15, 2007: -- ... Organizers won't block refineries and depots as they did in 2000, when U.K. fuel distribution was brought to a standstill. Demonstrators are seeking to have the government scrap proposals to raise fuel taxes by 2 pence a liter in April and defer a similar increase that went into effect in October...
