The decision from shell do give the 14% pay rise to tanker drivers could be the factor that pushed us over the edge. They have shown to everyone one that outrageous pay rises are easily achievable. I can see further public sector strikes and increased demands for wage rises on the horizon. The result? Inflation will rocket faster than it is already and the BofE will be forced to put rates way up. Like an above poster said, we're damned if we do, and we're damned if we don't.
