The Budget is hardly going to make any of us rich. The reduction in road tax was a start, but with still the highest fuel prices in the EU it would seem that many of my colleagues still remain bitter and militant.
According to the BBC, Labour MPs were overjoyed, almost orgasmic, that the Sun encouraged its readers to vote Labour at the forthcoming election, so the election is in the bag...they hope.
Discussing the last blockade on the road, it seems that many would like to have done more, but work commitments intervened, So I extend this invitation to all, including those larger operators who took no part in the last blockade but cried loudest when their tax rebate didn't arrive quickly enough. The Sun tabloid measures some 2x3ft, and Is seen by millions. The rear of the average trailer is also seen by millions—but measures 8x10ft.
During election week, a witty political comment on the rear of a trailer would carry more clout than anything the Sun printed.
Does it matter who is elected? We should ensure that whoever is elected gives serious consideration to what is likely to be printed on the rear of our trailers and makes a great effort to take our industry on board.
Professionally produced or a project for your kids; no swear words: witty and memorable; election week only...and laughing boy might just wish he had not taken the mickey out of the road haulage industry, The rear of 10,000 semis Is all it would take. Think about it—it's cheaper than a blockade. Peter F Orr, Plymouth.
