The fuel protests return as haulage companies send their trucks to London to demand a tax cut in the face of record oil prices.
Hundreds of truckers have taken to the roads in protest against rising fuel costs.
They claim with diesel costs now at record highs, thousands of jobs could be lost to competition abroad where fuels taxes are lower.
A convoy of angry drivers is moving on central London, where they plan to deliver a petition to Downing Street demanding a fuel duty rebate of 25 pence per litre.
