Trying to work out who is gaining if sales of petrol leap 500% in the last few days of the financial year. Tax revenue to the Treasury? Garage owners?
It is all pointless, the union now has the right to strike, but has to give 7 days notice to the public and therefore the strike cannot be held until Thursday next week, AT THE VERY EARLIEST. By this time all the fat, weezy, potential heart attack victims who cannot envisage their life without a car to ferry them around will have probably run out of the tank of petrol that they have queued to panic buy (probably with the engine running so the car does not get hot). It is also likely that by the time they run out of petrol there will be a shortage as it will take time to resupply the garages. The union is still in negotiation and IMO is the only party connected to this clusterfuck to have acted responsibly.
