Farmers working together with truck drivers brought the UK to the brink of collapse in September 2000 .

Protesting successive sharp rises in petrol and diesel prices, farmers and hauliers blockaded roads, fuel shipping terminals and oil refineries.

This Tuesday , the National Farmers’ Union (NFU) is holding a mass lobby of MPs, with 1,800 members gathering in Westminster .

Labour is already taking serious liberties with the UK ’s energy security.

The decision to close down new North Sea oil and gas production borders on insanity.

Is this really the time to take risks with our food security too? A prolonged fuel protest and the related disruption could shatter consumer and business confidence even more.
