But now that I have heard the Conservatives’ private explanation, which is being handed down to constituency associations by MPs, I begin to feel angry.
The private message is as follows. “This is our Thatcher moment. In order to defeat the coming miners’ strike, she stockpiled coal. When the strike came, she weathered it, and the Labour Party, tarred by the strike, was humiliated. In order to defeat the coming fuel drivers’ strike, we want supplies of petrol stockpiled. Then, if the strike comes, we will weather it, and Labour, in hock to the Unite union, will be blamed.”
There is a key difference which ministers have not spotted. When Mrs Thatcher piled up the coal at power stations until the strike began in 1984, she was not inconveniencing the public. In 2012, the Coalition is trying to press-gang the public, without saying so, into its political battles. All those people queuing on the forecourts were pawns in a Government-organised blame-game.

Why they thought this way beyond me agree with telegraph's Charles Moore's comments that there was differences. To use people animal instinct as political porn was little underhand.
I doubt it will go down well that they willing to have potential fighting road rage incidents which was possible. Indeed it problems occured in places it got heated as people got acused greed and queue jumping. Government used human instincts created a desperation to get fuel. People could been put in situation of losing there jobs all for the sake of political monoverings to try turn the heat on labour.
This ended up mitigating own goal it wont go down with people that it was planned tactic.
