Many reasons to join protest

The proposed fuel duty rises will for sure be inflationary. The taxi drivers will certainly be asking for increased fares and even the bus company will see their costs increase and will no doubt be going back cap in hand to Environment for a hand-out.

Now we hear that Treasury want to put the boot in as well and bring back road tax.

All the arguments raised for the abolition of road tax have just gone out the window.

It is incredible that we are less than a year away from an election and yet so many deputies seem hell-bent on self-destruction.

Perhaps they are all standing down forever?

We see the States spending money like water, £30,000 for a failed coach loading project which involved removing two trees, I believe – that is very 'green' isn't it? – which many said would not work.

Someone I know told a civil servant that it would never work and was a waste of money.

Said civil servant said: 'We had to spend the money to prove it would not work.'

Thank you very much for that, it's only taxpayers' money after all.

Absolutely sickening when we have a health service struggling to stay within budget.

We see a ridiculous pedestrian crossing which is causing horrific tailbacks, but just like the King's/Emperor's New Clothes some people just cannot see the obvious.

We have a non waste strategy with a hole in the ground filling up fast and not much chance of sending our waste to Jersey as by all accounts their incinerator is faulty.

This is why, if any of the above annoys you, we must protest on Sunday 12 July and show those in power that we are getting more than a little fed up with them.

I have no direct connection with the EiE group apart from supporting them over three protests but those who deride their efforts and fail to turn up only have themselves to blame when the deputies hit us in the pockets yet again.
