Morning Extra - Do you support the fuel protesters?

Logo for Morning Extra - Do you support the fuel protesters?

A convoy of 80 lorries is making its way along the M8 from North Lanarkshire to Edinburgh in a "go slow" protest over the cost of fuel.

Should the likes of the Orange Order and the James Connolly society help pay for the policing? Graham Stewart takes your calls, texts and emails.
