Panic buying, governments fault?

So they are giving the government crap for starting this fuel 'crisis' and it's actually being instigated by labour indirectly.

I bet labour don't condemn the strikes.

Did you read my op?

We were chatting away, and he said, you know that Union on the side of the strike......am I right in saying that it is hand in hand with LABOUR? what better way to wind up the tories by pulling a strike.
Pay and conditions? Well has anybody actually seen a tanker of fuel blow up lately? Can't be that unsafe?

I do vividly remember the poll tax, spiral interest rates , and the 80' s make king ,f**k the rest attitude encouraged by thatcher the milk snatched.

So with a swooping general statement calling all Tory voters muppets, who or what is the alternative? There isnt one.

I noticed last night on the news that not a single person interviewed was panic buying, some even tried to pretend they were not aware of a potential strike and any shortage of fuel.

It's always somebody else right, never us.

News just in, unite say no industrial action over Easter, so 'panic' diverted

Only problem (for me ) is the stations need the stuff in now. Or its a long push home.

Yep you pretty much are, even if indirectly.

Yep, defo I'm raw on this, labour have a long history of fecking things up, from 1997 they introduced over 2500 hidden (stealth) taxes, they took over a reasonably stable economy ( as always) and still managed to **** things up.

The Tories aren't perfect but they are the best we have and the only ones with a fighting chance of getting us out this mess.
