Though the truckers vowed to starve the country into submission to achieve their demands, they so far have fallen considerably short of that goal.

Now 28, he was raised in the small village of Deepcut, 40 miles south of London. He never made it into the good schools, spent most of his time studying rare reptiles ("probably very Freudian") and playing music. In his early teens he joined a band called the Black Rockers ("We wore black turtlenecks, black pants and black shoes, and we still weren...
