摘要

If nothing else, the blockades of Britain's oil refineries have been a lesson in how to bring a modern, industrial society to a halt. When news first emerged on September 7th that angry truckers and farmers were staging protests outside a refinery in the north-west of England, it seemed like a pale imitation of the French protests, which were ending around the same time. But over the following weekend the demonstrations spread to all Britain's major oil refineries—and parts of Wales and the north of England began to run out of petrol. By Monday September nth there was panic-buying of fuel in London. Some stations sold a week's supply of petrol in less than 24 hours. By the following evening 90% of the petrol stations in Britain were out of unleaded petrol.
