Re: [Update] Fuel tanker drivers vote to strike

Last time, the drivers actually were on strike, so no filling stations were replenished until the strike ended and it took some time to get back to normal.

This time, the tanker drivers are not on strike, they have merely threatened to. So as the filling stations are drained, they are replenished. Hence in a few days, once everyone's filled up and has no room to put any more petrol, and there still isn't a strike, the filling stations will be back to normal pretty quickly.

Sorry to burst your Tory-hating bubble, but this really isn't the society-collapsing gaffe you want it to be.
