Blair and his erstwhile co-madman Jack Straw met with executives from oil firms and the police yesterday to find ways of preventing the "country" - (WHICH COUNTRY IS THAT- Scotland or England) being held to 'ransom' (SO PROTEST IS NOW A CRIME IS IT?).

The public now ALL know they are being ripped off, taxed to death by London and they won't tolerate it. Fuel duty has to be slashed and with it other useless forms of expenditure, that should include money wasted on NATO, the UN and rubbish like the millennium dome.

Charity and democracy start at home, time the Scots and English claim their freedom back from Blairs 'Big government' attitude.
