FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda Fuel tanker drivers in Britain voted for strike action on Monday to express their anger over their working conditions and health and safety regulations.
The strike action would be the first nationwide strike in the sector in 12 years and could close up to 7,900 petrol stations across Britain.
While petrol prices in Britain have already reached record highs, one fifth of petrol stations have increased prices by 1 pence since Monday.
The Automobile Association warned that petrol prices could rise by as much as 2 or 3 pence in case the industrial action triggers panic among British drivers.
As the British government is concerned over any further damage to the image of the country in the run-up to the London 2012 Olympic Games, it has decided to draw up contingency plans to deploy the army on streets in order to tackle any potential disruption.
The British government is also mulling over plans to ask businesses for tankers to be driven by army troops.
Nevertheless, the soldiers need at least eight days of training to be able to drive the tankers. Unite has not set a date for the strike whereas union officials have said that the action could deplete petrol stocks within 48 hours.
“If there is a strike, and we really want to avoid this, then disruption is inevitable,” said British Prime Minister David Cameron’s spokeswoman.
Reuters reported that last time British armed forces were deployed on streets was in 2002/3 when British troops drove fire engines during a strike staged by firefighters.
