Truckers frustrated with high fuel prices began another round of protests outside oil depots across Britain last week.
According to press reports, the number of demonstrators was small compared to last September's mass protests, and oil companies say the protestors haven’t halted any deliveries this time around.
The protestors gathered on Friday saying concessions on fuel taxes issued by the government in November weren’t enough.
"We gave the government our word we would do something in January," protestor John Coxon told Reuters. "We just want to let them know we are still a force to be reckoned with."
Coxon said the protesters did not intend to prevent fuel leaving the depots.
