<p>Fuel prices and cuts to public services are the most likely source of protest in Britain, according to research.</p>
<p>More than half of Britons, 52%, said they were prepared to take action about fuel prices, followed by 47% who said they would protest about axing of public services in areas such as health and libraries.</p>
<p>The online survey of 2,003 people, carried out last month for Theos, the public theology think-tank, showed 35% said they were willing to take action over bankers&#8217; bonuses.</p>
<p>Nearly one in five, 19%, said they would take action over global poverty with 17% saying they were prepared to protest over climate change.</p>
<p>The research showed traditional forms of protest remained the most popular with 36% having signed a petition over the last year.</p>
<p>As many people &#8211; 15% &#8211; said they had started, followed or supported a campaign using social media such as Facebook or Twitter to influence policy in the last year as had contacted a politician.</p>
<p>Social media as a means of protest was most popular amongst 18 to 24-year-olds with nearly a quarter of this group saying they had used this as a form of protest over the last year compared with 8% of over 55s.</p>
<p>Only 2% said they had taken part in a public demonstration in the last year. But 29% said they would consider it.</p>
<p>The findings on fuel prices come as Chancellor George Osborne comes under pressure to cancel a 1p duty rise in April.</p>
<p>Mr Osborne last month repeated his pledge to examine that option and said the Government continued to look into the introduction of a stabiliser mechanism to iron out big price fluctuations.</p>
