All due to one individual sadly.

Any chance of raising the game.

Indeed, as long as the said individual will allow it. He insists on dragging
any topic round to cars.

I assume that there are lorry drivers here and others associated with
the industry - I wonder what the real views are:

Is the strike justified?
Are the lorry drivers underpaid?
Should they be paid more than those shifting boxes for supermarkets?
Should they be holding country to ransom?

However the topic you've posted seems intent on stirring up trouble against
tanker drivers which will very likely result in more of what you're
complaining about in your opening sentence.


Why should the topic be "intent on stirring up trouble"?

I am sorry - are you saying that the people in the group are just not
capable of a civilised discussion?
