There are some available reports on the protests, they all reference taxes on fuel but no other motives for protest,

Do you believe there are other reasons for the protest?

Quite. There have been posts on here about 'it all kicking off in Germany' for weeks, still waiting for someone to explain specifically what it is they are complaining about other than loss of their equivalent to red diesel.

It will be dismissed by the politicos as "the far right". Ignore them at your peril.

rules and regs gone in to pyton mode
a 60 billion hole having to be filled by xtra taxes on self employed and farmers

whoever thought bring Ukrainian into nato was a good idea

The corporate land grab is not unique to the U.K, pesky farmers owning & controlling all the land...........its been going on for years.

Anyone know who is organising these protests. Some sort of national union or a more grass roots / BFU type rebellion?

Their equivalent of the national farmers union.

But also supported by smaller (although quite large) groups, so multi faceted.

It's been a culmination of rules being enforced. The diesel 'subsisdy' removal is just the latest of years of increased regulation.

Straw that broke the camels back or tip of the iceberg. One or the other.
