Cable Forum - View Single Post - Petrol tanker drivers' dispute nearing strike deadline

I was thinking about this last night. I don't see how they can call a strike at all now - the Government managed to generate a minor panic without fuel deliveries ever actually stopping. If Red Len calls a stoppage, Cameron will immediately be able to point out that he does so knowing precisely the mayhem it will cause. I don't imagine the tanker drivers will get much sympathy at all, certainly nothing like the general support they had in 2000.
