Hundreds of intelligent lorry drivers are burning up diesel, as they head towards central London, to make it even more polluted than it usually is. And more hauliers are driving round in circles in Wales, as they got lost trying to find the M4.
One driver, speaking from a burger van near Cardiff, said: 'This will mean we'll all have to head off to BP in the evening, to refill our tanks, that'll show the Chancellor a thing or two!'
And another trucker, Laurie D River, added: 'If the government don't lower the duty on fuel, we'll buy even more of it, and drive to Scotland and back at the weekend.'
But the Reichschancellor, Alastair Freeparking, said: 'My Limousine's got air conditioning, Prescott's Jaguars don't!' And leader of the opposition, David Limousine, said: 'It's not one law for the rich, one law for the poor - it's one law for the rich, bugger the poor, we just wish we had the Chancellor's nerve. Oh, and the money he rakes in from hard workers.'
The protests are expected to annoy people until nightfall, and will be ignored by everyone except Trevor McDonald on News at Ten. But, in a surprising cross-Channel message of support, French fishermen's leader, Jacques Dory, said: 'It eez good to see zee Heengleesh copying us in starting pointless strikes - but the difference eez that zee strikers ween here.'
Tony Prescott is stuck at the Burger King near Doncaster, as no lorry drivers will give him a lift, due to weight restrictions.
