I think David Icke has got it spot on -

PROBLEM (FUEL CRISIS)

REACTION (Lorry Haulage Drivers up in arms) obviously without them knowing real reason

SOLUTION (Government implement steps to NUCLEAR power making it look like it was us that demanded it)

I do not trust this government and if this is the case then everyone is falling into the trap when they think they are having a say or a right.

Good for the oil companies who are posting record profits -- watch John Hofmeister, president of Shell Oil Company, the U.S. division of Royal Dutch Shell defend rising profits -- but bad for industry and consumers.
