No surprise that after they called anyone daring to stand against them a loony left Socialist/Communist that it’s the Chinese Communist Party and a few bankers like Gavyn Davies who’ve benefitted most from their policies. 
I honestly thought that this topic (and others) was about this proposed fuel strike. Why does it have to go back almost 100 bleeding years ago to the 1920’s, Hitler, Thatcher and others?
Perhaps it can go a little futher back and we can all blame the flaming dinosours for the current problems.

There is not a lot of argument really. You’ve got a set of blokes throwing their toys out of their pram. Just let them get on with it. It is them putting the final nail in their own coffin. In the meantime, their Union top bod is sleeping soundly in his bed not really giving two flying ducks about them at all.

the future should be nationalisation.
You’ve got to laugh at this crap the simple drivers in this Nick Dennis and Alan Jones are union negotiators and both behind the immingham strike and others. Safety was never raised wage increases and the best redundancy package in the UK was though.
Highly skilled drive to empty forecourt check with manager add vapour return put on delivery hoses set delivery amount and stand around, everything in reverse then off home at night to spend £45k.
Come on Stobarts another sector ripe for take over!

It was billybigrig who wanted to make a stereotypical point in this case about history,by suggesting that supporting union activeties automatically meant supporting a bunch of Tories called New Labour.So we might as well take the history lesson back a bit further where it shows the real reason as to why the economy is zb’d now after 32 years of Moneterist,Thatcherite bs to make the bankers and the Chinese richer.

Well done you did it again, this time on a reply about dino’s
Haven’t the tanker drivers heard of the DCPC the rest of the industry wants out of it yet they’re threatening strikes to get more training! Still on 45k they can probably afford it.
Tanker drivers have been given an amnesty on drivers hours rules to catch up on the bloody panic they have caused.
They’ll probably strike over that now. Just think of the hours they’ll have to do
gasman:
Exactly, tory propaganda , so whats new . why all the [zb] about drivers and their conditions.LET US UPSET THE MAINSTAY OF THE ECONOMY . as I have said before , the tory goverment are trying to turn the attention to this (potential strike ) BECAUSE of the issues in goverment at this particular time . LETS HAVE UNREST AMONG THE WORKERS. ENOUGH SAID We all know who supports this country but ---------WE DO NOT HAVE THE BALLS TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. Again enough said -----unless you disagree !!!
According to the news headlines, the last part of your post has been proved correct.
Now that the strike has apparently been called off, what do you suggest the next course of action should be for the downtrodden tanker drivers and their hard working union leaders.
Quickly now, you don’t want them to resign in digust and become lumpenproletariat, do you?
Bang bang. That’s the sound of a tanker driver shooting himself in the foot
Wheel Nut:

They did not cause the panic…the Government did.
Straight from the horses mouth. Errr thats not a slur on the Met equine that Dodgy Dave denied riding. 
Points the finger directly at Dodgy Dave and his cohorts tho’.

BRITAIN could grind to a halt next month as an army of lorry drivers preparestojointheplanned tanker drivers’ strike, the Sunday Express can reveal.
Asmanyas4,000truckers— including hundreds in Scotland — are set to blockade strike-busting soldiers from driving tankers out of oil refineries.Their aim is to cause gridlock on motorways to stop Army movement of tankers, mirroring the chaos that ensued in the petrol crisis of 2000.

Analliancehasbeenformed between Unite union tanker drivers — whose grievance is mainly over terms and safety issues — and the resurgent Fuel Lobby, whose supporters are furious about rocketing prices.
The man organising the supporting action is farmer and haulier Andrew Spence, who was instrumental in the blockades 12 years ago. They led to 3,000 petrol stations running out of fuel and caused widespread chaos on the roads.
From what I have heard, the public will be behind us 100 per cent
Mark Ayre, the protest group’s Scottish spokesmanHe said last night: “We are a lot better co-ordinated than we were in 2000 and we were pretty effective then. The time has come to draw a line and say that’s enough. The mood among our supporters is to stand by the tanker drivers 100 per cent and bring the country to a standstill. There will be a domino effect in the strike action and it is not going to stop. I guarantee this time we will bring down the Government.
“We are using text, e-mail and Facebook and already have up to 4,000 drivers willing to support the Unite strike action. George Osborne said he would implement an increase in August, but at my garage fuel has gone up 3p a litre since the Budget. Hauliers are going bust — it cannot go on.”

InScotland,truckershavealready discussed blocking off motorways and supermarket distribution centres as well as the refinery at Grangemouth, Stirlingshire.
Mark Ayre, the protest group’s Scottish spokesman, told the Sunday Express last night: “We want to get fuel back down to £1.10 to £1.15 a litre, bringing us into line with the rest of Europe. Direct action is the only way the Government will listen.”
His group has been staging small-scale protests at Grangemouth for the past four weeks, but they plan to step up a gear when a date is set for the Unite strike.
He added: “People are suggesting we should block motorways off, blockade distribution centres like Tesco and others along the M8. From what I have heard, the public will be behind us 100 per cent.”
Last night protesters were attempting to blockade Shell’s Stanlow oil refinery, at Ellesmere Port, in Cheshire in a show of sympathy to the tanker drivers.
Uniteunionleaderswillbegintalks tomorrow with oil companies at the conciliation service Acas in an attempt to prevent strike action.
Unite General Secretary Len McCluskey said:“Overthepastfewdays,the Government’s every move has been designed to whip up unnecessary tension at the expense of the public.
“Ministers knew all along that a strike could not possibly be less than seven days away even were it to be called — that is the law — yet they panicked the nation all the way to the petrol pumps because they imagined it would boost them in the polls.
“People know this posturing and positioning is poisoning the prospects for an early resolution to the dispute.”
If the talks break down, it is expected Unite will quickly choose a date for strike action, which would take place after Easter.

Quick, give them their independence then we can close the border and leave them to it.

Carl, they have also been told they must be at the next drop as on the computer tells them, just like the fridge boys but, only that bit faster
We all get unachievable delivery times / time slots, and we all do the same thing, ignore them.
Reminds me of when I was on the busses, we had a ‘running board’ which told you what time to be where, you checked what time you left the 1st stop, hit traffic and threw it across the cab, after that it was just a piece of fiction that nobody bothered reading.
