From John McDonnell MP:
"But just after the vote on 42 days detention when you thought the assault on people's civil liberties couldn't get worse the Government has briefed the press that it is threatening to invoke emergency powers in the oil tanker drivers' dispute to draft in soldiers to drive the tankers and break the strike."

Are there any soldiers not on active service what with the huge overstretch of commitments!
Jams - that is a good point. Maybe they will call on the TA?
Why do so few people seem to worry about this sort of thing?
We are so often being sold down the river by the people who’s job it is supposed to be to represent us and look out for our interests. It looks like a lot of the public are in favour of this 42 day detention, according to the polls. Are they stupid? Don’t they pay any attention?
Moggs tigerpaw - I think they have been taken in by the line that it is for our own good and don't realise what it really means. Or what it could lead to.
I think you are right. Maybe they need to do some joined up thinking ;-)
