243deer Posted April 8, 2022 Report Share Posted April 8, 2022 Some petrol in Swaffham tonight but no diesel - just about made it home. Anyone know how much veg oil to add to some kerosene to make a few litres of diesel to get me out of trouble? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chesterse Posted April 8, 2022 Report Share Posted April 8, 2022 The Applegreen station on the A16 and the BP station didn’t have any diesel today in Spalding but managed to get some at Sainsburys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was the same in the Yarmouth area , the main TESCO had ran out of both Petrol and Diesel and I joined the q at Morrisons about two miles away, when I joined there were 60 / 70 cars and vans moving very slowly , I now feel a bit guilty using it tomorrow looking for a few Pigeons , but there you go , you can't take it with you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wymondley Posted April 8, 2022 Report Share Posted April 8, 2022 I've just got in from a trip to Norfolk, no fuel anywhere! Had to make a detour into Kings Lynn to get some diesel and then saw closed fuel stations all along the A10 on the way home. Plod needs to grow a pair and deal with these protesters. As if we didn't have enough to put up with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sweet11-87 Posted April 8, 2022 Report Share Posted April 8, 2022 any shortages will be localised. becasue people panic buy. if a real shortage was imminent and folks couldnt get to work on mass the government would step in and sort somthing becasue it wold cost them millions. people queing at the pumps to buy the stuff when the price is at an all time high....right now theyre just making easy money. they wont be in any great hurry to deal with protesters just now.

No. For trespass it is only a civil offence. If it is 'Aggravated Trespass' then Police can act. I think in this case - it does fit the definition of 'Aggravated Trespass' but various Courts (Juries) have in effect undermined this by failing to convict (e.g. the Bristol Colston Statue event, various building damages in London) believing it is a legitimate freedom to 'demonstrate' even if it causes disruption. The charge in those cases wasn't Aggravated Trespass - but the message from the Juries was clear. Hence I suspect the Police don't see any point in acting if the Courts and Juries won't convict. https://greenandblackcross.org/guides/laws/5-trespass-aggravated-trespass/ https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-bristol-59727161 https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2021/dec/10/jury-clears-extinction-rebellion-activists-who-targeted-commuters Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raja Clavata Posted April 9, 2022 Report Share Posted April 9, 2022 4 miles left to empty on the transit connect, guess I should go find some diesel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smokersmith Posted April 9, 2022 Report Share Posted April 9, 2022 Difficult to find anywhere around Wisbech with fuel at the moment .. also struggling in surrounding areas. I know of 2 that have run out looking. Agree it’s best out of the media otherwise it would be much worse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then again I seem to recall there was a raft of new legislation brought in after the fuel protests of a few years back making it an offence to obstruct fuel supplies. If they really tried I'm sure they could find something to justify sending in the boys who were roughing up peaceful lockdown protesters on the streets of London a few months ago.

A 4year old vitara, it is the 3rd one I have owned,all have been superb, never let me down and I have had at least 80 thousand on them when I renewed. They have all been purchased new, when I have my spirited head on I still get 60mpg out of them,but best of all they never ever need a spanner on them..They get a regular service and have not cost a penny apart from new tyres.

bruno22rf Posted April 10, 2022 Report Share Posted April 10, 2022 Cannot believe the police can sit and watch this happening, trespass is civil until you refuse to leave if asked then it becomes aggravated trespass surely, these idiots are holding people to ransom, what's next water because they don't agree with sewage in the rivers ? Stop the police sitting in their cars persecuting motorists for going 5mph over the limit or sitting in the middle lane on a Motorway and get these parasites moved and fined.
