UK: Protesters Picket Refinery

Fuel protesters picket refinery

The protest began at 0500 BST, police said
Fuel duty campaigners are demonstrating outside a Cheshire oil refinery in protest at high fuel costs.

They are the same protesters who organised nationwide action at fuel depots in 2000.

By setting up outside Stanlow oil refinery near Ellesmere Port, they want to make fuel prices an issue in the election, said organiser David Handley.

A spokeswoman for Shell said that Monday's protest had not caused any disruption to the fuel supply.
