People have blasted the organisers of a planned M4 blockade saying their protest over fuel prices will only make people angry and force them to drive even further than they need to, including NHS workers trying to see patients. Others have said they'll be forced to go "the long way round" to make sure they get to the airport for a long-awaited family holiday while another said anyone who "thinks this will make the government reduce the tax on fuel is living in cloud cuckoo land".
Plans to block the M4 and M48 bridges over the Severn next month to “stand up against” rising fuel prices are being organised by Ashley Fowler, from Cardiff. He spoke to WalesOnline and explained his group of car enthusiasts felt they had no choice but to "stand up against" rising fuel prices which mean a typical family car now costs £100 to fill up.
"It's going to be cars on the Severn Bridge protesting to the government to reduce the fuel prices," he said. But while nearly everyone is struggling to meet the rising cost of fuel not everyone thinks Mr Fowler's course of action is the right thing to do. We shared the story on our Facebook page and the response from readers was mixed.
