It was Terrible back when the Blairs New Labour
got in a messs with a Strike..


A minister today said gerry cans
but the Fire Stations say - No you can not store them in your Garage.
So he retracted that , later.

Francis Maude is a moron. If he did say that he probably doesn't even remember it. I'm waiting for the day his press officer shoots himself... or Francis.

Utter Fact.

I fail to see firstly why any strike should be necessary and secondly why such a directive needed to be given by any cabinet Minister,worse still the PM.
The very slightest hint that something may soon be in short supply for a time,immediately has the less responsible and selfish going out gathering all they can.

In January a bad forecast for the weather was made predicting arctic temperatures and lot's of frost and ice likely, in less than 3 days the supermarket near me had no salt.
Crazy. also as pointed out above, the advice given to fill cans and store petrol in garages was not only foolish but dangerous too.

Petrol Crisis /Panic buy get your gerry cans
 

Ich habe bereits meinen Wehrmachtskanister ..... ;)

:nono::joker::joker:

Yes What the Freaking hell do they want
they get £45K.

Info is the strike is going ahead from Nutter/ Militant Len McCluskey

Don't Panic , Don't Panic


Do Not Give them your name Pyke

Ich bin jetzt auf der Suche nach meinem Tiger-Panzer ..... :evilgrin:

I totally agree as I often do with you arista, I cannot see any major reason whatsoever as to things being so bad to warrant any strike action.

Nach dem Krieg werden Sie zur Rechenschaft gezogen werden, Kapitän Mainwaring ..... :suspect:

There will be no threat to services the Civil Contingencies Act has this stuff covered...Got to love the Daily Mail though using words like 'militant' and 'civil disobedience' lol
It does make you think these are not workers threatening to strike but a group of naughty kids.

Why will Labour not sort this out
its their Union Money they have
Bloody Earn It.



Petrol Stations are now running out as to many are panic buying
and filling up to the top.
And some even take gerry cans,


"Safety Working Hours"
that can be sorted - they get £45K for fecks sake.

Will the PM run dry ?
 

They probably only do 2 or 3 miles to the litre ..... :rolleyes:

I am getting fed up with people striking as it just hits us poor spods trying to go about our business - I have a 60 mile round trip to work and back every day so this is going to have a major impact - I can't afford to lose my job. This doesn't hurt anyone but Joe public and these tanker drivers earn a bliddy good wage if you ask me maybe if they had no work they would appreciate the money a bit better *steps off soap box*

I think as I read through political history, the Unions caused as many problems for Labour Govts as they have for Conservative ones.

Really,from what I have read and seen on documentaries, the Unions brought down the Labour Govt in 1979,so I doubt really any party can influence the Unions once they decide they want action of some sort.

I agree, the issue this Union has now though does not need any strike action whatsoever in my view.

"Safety Working Hours"
that can be sorted - they get £45K for fecks sake.

So you think as they earn a decent wage they should be worked to death....Can I just remind you of one important issue....They drive tankers full of flammable liquid around...
Who would get the blame if a diver fell asleep and caused a major catastrophe?....

Yes but back in 1979 the Unions had stronger power.


The Labour Leader , today
just says a Strike is wrong?
he does not go into Why the Hell they want to Strike

No thats Me.

If they have Hour problems
it can be Sorted

Stop going on about Petrol Drivers asleep - no such casers.

Yes a Truck Petrol Strike
could destroy us for the time they Strike
as the Army may get petrol to Buses
and Lorrys and Police , Hospitals etc

This is what Ed actually said...
This morning Labour leader Ed Miliband said a strike 'has got to be avoided' and called for negotiation on both sides. He said: 'They've said that they want to get round a table, they should get round a table, and I think this strike can be avoided and it must be avoided.'

They want to talk... Why is the government not talking to them?
Because they are too busy whipping the nation into a frenzy about it....
