Nope, the own goal was on the Government's side (or, rather, the Tories, I don't doubt). They tried to make the unions look bad, created a phoney crisis, created a whole bunch of unnecessary hassle for everyone and the drivers are now saying "Well we want to be reasonable, so we're willing to go back to the negotiating table" leaving Cameron and co looking really stupid for causing a situation they could have avoided.
