Full on trucker revolt going on in Spain is leading to mini-riots, looting, chaos. There are plenty of other revolts of a similar kind going on around the world right now and I suppose you could easily add in the Irish Fishermen. Forced cuts in Fuel use / fuel price hikes are the equivalent of steep wage cuts. But not much sympathy. PPL think. oh those nasty truckers and fishermen - they're causing global warming. Between a rock and a hard place. Anyone got on the ground reports from Spain? This stuff exaggerated? Extract: * More than 90,000 truckers have been striking and blockading Spanish routes for some three days now - gas pumps have gone dry and grocery store shelves are empty |
