He said that people should join him if they were in the same boat but not “sit about moaning” and then do nothing about it.
Mr Doherty, whose business is registered in Basingstoke, has posted about his “traveller lifestyle” on his social media accounts and has shared that he lives in a caravan with his wife and young baby.
Protest organised locally
Ashley Fowler, a 24-year-old delivery driver from Cardiff who was listed as Mr Doherty’s fellow organiser on social media, has said that he is so badly impacted by the cost of living crisis that he is going back to live with his mum.
Most of Monday’s action was co-ordinated through the Facebook group Stand up to Fuel Prices, though those behind it said that they are not personally responsible for organising any action.
A number of other groups, including UK Fuel Action and Fuel Price Protest Group UK were also used to try and co-ordinate convoys.
