German-flagged tanker carrying Russian oil is marooned as dock workers refuse to deal with vessel after it arrived in UK
UK Daily Mail ^ | March 05 2022 | CHAY QUINN

British dock workers have refused to deal with a tanker carrying Russian oil because of the invasion of Ukraine.

The SeaCod is currently moored at Birkenhead Docks near the Stanlow Oil Refinery in the North West but dock workers have taken a stand and refuse to unload it.

The German-flagged vessel does not come under the terms of the UK's ban on Russian shipping because the ban does not apply to contents.

Hopefully, the Hollywood cabal won’t allow the crew to watch the new Batman “movie”.

This new model of warfare appears to work well.

This would clear out the libtards for a weekend or two...

China will buy every ounce of oil, or BTU of gas Russia can produce. The UK is being stupid here, typical liberals can not think 5 minutes beyond their immediate wants.

But those dockworkers are just trying to support the incumbent damsel in distress Ukraine. Why do you support this guilty Russian oil? It’s at least as guilty as Russian cats, Chicken Kiev, Conductors and that Disney cartoon Anastasia.
Aren’t these workers being good Ukraine patriots?

Just a reminder, nobody has been more consistently communist infiltrated than dockworkers. And they instantly lined up against Russia here. The western left despises Russia for going apostate on communism and woke LGBTEIEIO.

It would be a shame if there was an oil spill at Birkenhead docks.

Well put.

So will we buy the dirty Russian products, if Bidet&Co keep our oil & gas production shut down.

Sounds like another pound or two per liter if the Brits can’t load Russian oil, and they can thank the Daily Mail for that.

Absolutely, and if not China, then India. And guess what happens next. That tanker from Dubaiiiii that was heading for China or India goes to the UK, as China and India import 3 TIMES what Russia exports. So those two countries alone can use every drop that Russia produces.
