Traffic choas imminent

Hundreds of pissed off lorry drivers are descending on London to protest against a rise in fuel tax.

Pissed off behind tonnes of reinforced steel, the protest will ensure no one is getting on the A40.

If only all those cycle protesters could muster together this kind of blockade! Granted, it would take the entire student population to cycle together to close one slip road, but its a start.

But I digress....

The demonstration is in response to the highest fuel tax on record. Lorry drivers will parade past the Houses of Commons, despite that stupid law that says you can't have a noisy protest within a half mile radius of it.

That's right, all those truckers driving past Parliament and they're not allowed to honk their horns.

This blog would love to be there to see it! (We're on work experience at Independent at the moment. Well, answering phones, but apparently they're synonomous.) That horn will look like a big red button just aching to be touched.

All it will take is one lorry driver to give it the slip, and then WHAM! They'll all be off!

This blog would worry about the presence of hundreds of pollutant lorries in the capital, but it will probably make the smog more centralised.

Maybe the government should start looking at individual cases instead of slapping a one rule for them all tax.

Individualism always was a tad tricky for Labour governments to grasp.

If Alistar's Darling could only get greyer with worry....but it can't.
